ADNOC awards contracts for Hail & Ghasha Gas Project in the UAE

Technip Energies, the leader of a joint venture composed of Samsung Engineering and Tecnimont, has been awarded a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) related to the Onshore facilities for ADNOC’s Hail & Ghasha Gas Development Project in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

The overall contract value to the joint venture for the early engineering and procurement works on the onshore facilities is approximately US$80 million.

The PCSA phase follows the successful completion of an updated Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) for the entire development, executed by Technip Energies. This next phase covers early Project activities for onshore facilities, such as Initial Detailed Engineering and Procurement services of critical Long Lead items. The PCSA scope of work also includes the preparation of an Open Book Cost Estimate for the project delivery of the onshore scope, which will be considered as part of ADNOC’s Final Investment Decision making process.

The awards come as ADNOC accelerates gas expansion, as part of its low carbon growth strategy to continue responsibly meeting global energy needs. ADNOC is committed to unlocking the UAE’s abundant natural gas reserves to enable domestic gas self-sufficiency, industrial growth and diversification, as well as to meet growing global gas demand.

Arnaud Pieton, CEO of Technip Energies, stated: “We are honored to be trusted by ADNOC to continue from the successful FEED execution to the initial activities for the onshore facilities for this important gas growth project, and to prepare an open-book cost estimate for project delivery. This reinforces Technip Energies long-standing relationship and trust developed over the last four decades with ADNOC, supported by our long-term presence in Abu Dhabi. Together with our joint venture partners, Samsung Engineering and Tecnimont, we will utilise our global experience on mega project execution and open book estimate conversions to transparently and diligently work with ADNOC and their international concession partners to continually optimise the project and successfully meet their requirements.”

Hong Namkoong, President and CEO of Samsung Engineering said: "We are proud and honored to receive these early awards and be involved in one of ADNOC’s flagship megaprojects. Based on our expertise in the UAE market, extensive know-how in gas development projects, as well as our own unique project delivery solution under the “AHEAD” execution model, we, together with our joint venture partners, are confident in executing the project successfully and meeting the expectations of ADNOC and their international concession partners.”
