Petrofac has secured a major contract from ADNOC Gas for the expansion of gas processing facilities on Das Island, in a deal valued at US$1.2 billion. The international energy services company will deliver Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) services as part of ADNOC Gas’s broader Rich Gas Development (RGD) Programme.
The expansion will significantly enhance the island’s gas processing capabilities. Under the contract, Petrofac will manage the development of a new gas inlet facility, two gas dehydration and compression trains—each with a capacity of 420 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD)—as well as associated infrastructure. In addition, Petrofac will oversee upgrades to existing systems, increasing the site’s capacity for collecting and transporting raw natural gas to meet rising domestic and international demand.
Tareq Kawash, Group Chief Executive of Petrofac, highlighted the importance of the contract: “We are delighted to have been entrusted by ADNOC Gas, one of our longest-standing customers, to undertake this contract in our home market of the UAE. We look forward to working together to safely and sustainably increase the gas processing capacity at Das Island.”
Petrofac’s COO of Engineering & Construction, Elie Lahoud, added: “We are proud to support ADNOC Gas with the continued development of its major offshore asset. Our long-standing partnership reflects our dedication to delivering predictable, high-quality outcomes.”
Das Island, located 160 kilometres offshore from mainland UAE, has been operational since 1977 and is the third longest-running LNG facility still in production globally. With a liquefaction capacity of six million metric tons per annum (MMtpa), it continues to play a crucial role in the UAE’s LNG export strategy and energy security ambitions.
