Abu Dhabi - Mubasher: The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) awarded the two Front End Engineering Design (FEED) contracts for ADNOC’s planned offshore ultra-sour gas megaproject.
These new critical steps will boost the project, which consists of the Hail, Ghasha, and Dalma fields, according to a recent statement.
The UK’s Bechtel was awarded Hail and Ghasha FEED Contract, and the UAE’s TechnipFMC was awarded Dalma FEED Contract.
The two FEED contracts, collectively, are considered the largest awarded by an oil and gas company, focusing on the criticality of a detailed FEED phase to optimise project cost and schedule.
This megaproject, which lies in the northwest offshore area of Abu Dhabi, could meet 20% of the UAE’s gas demand by the second half of the next decade.
UAE Minister of State and ADNOC Group CEO, Sultan Al Jaber, commented, “The growth in energy demand in Abu Dhabi, and the wider UAE, has prompted ADNOC to further harness its gas resources, as part of its 2030 smart growth strategy.”
ADNOC is near to awarding five technology licensor contracts, covering a gas treatment licensor; a sulphur recovery unit (SRU) licensor; a natural gas liquids (NGL) licensor; a condensates recovery (hydro treaters) licensor and a hydrogen generation licensor.
