Technip Energies-led joint venture secures $5.5 billion EPC contract to develop ADNOC’s Ruwais LNG project

(WO) – Technip Energies, leader of a joint venture (TJN RUWAIS JV) with JGC and NMDC Energy, have been awarded a major contract by ADNOC for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the lower-carbon Ruwais LNG project, located in Al Ruwais Industrial City, Abu Dhabi. According to a press release from ADNOC, the EPC contract is worth $5.5 billion.

The project will consist of two natural gas liquefaction trains with a total LNG production capacity of 9.6 MMtpa. The plant will use electric-driven motors instead of conventional gas turbines and will be powered by clean energy.

The plant is set to be the first LNG export facility in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to run on clean power, making it one of the lowest-carbon intensity LNG plants in the world.

The project will more than double ADNOC's LNG production capacity aligning with global natural gas demand and the shift towards decarbonization.

Arnaud Pieton, CEO of Technip Energies, commented, “We are honored to have been awarded by ADNOC the Ruwais LNG project, a pioneering initiative in the LNG sector. By powering electrified LNG trains with nuclear energy, this project sets a new standard for energy security and sustainability. By leveraging our low-carbon and electrified LNG leadership we will support ADNOC’s position as a reliable global natural gas supplier and commitment to decarbonization.”
