ADNOC makes FID to proceed with Ruwais LNG project, lets EPC contract

ADNOC has made a final investment decision to proceed with the lower-carbon Ruwais LNG project in Al Ruwais Industrial City, Abu Dhabi.
With FID, the operator let an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract to Technip Energies, leader joint venture TJN Ruwais JV with JGC Corp. and National Petroleum Construction Co.
In March this year, ADNOC issued a limited notice to proceed to Technip Energies to begin early EPC activities for the project (OGJ Online, Mar. 13, 2024).
The Ruwais LNG project will consist of two natural gas liquefaction trains with a total LNG production capacity of 9.6 million tonnes/year (tpy). When completed, it will more than double ADNOC’s LNG production target capacity to 15 million tpy to meet increased global demand for natural gas.
For low carbon-intensity LNG production, the plant will use electric-driven motors instead of conventional gas turbines and will be powered by nuclear energy, according to the operator.
