ADNOC Awards NMDC Group USD 200 Mn Contract for Clean Energy Powered LNG Project

NMDC Group has been awarded a USD 200 million contract for dredging in ADNOC's Ruwais LNG Project, the first Middle East LNG facility to be powered by renewable energy-driven electric motors.

NMDC Group, UAE, announced that it has secured a significant contract exceeding USD 200 million from the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) for critical marine dredging work in the pioneering Ruwais LNG Project. This ambitious project, a major element of ADNOC's broader energy strategy, marks the introduction of the first LNG export facility in the Middle East and Africa to utilise clean energy. The contract highlights NMDC Group’s advanced capabilities in executing complex marine infrastructure projects and its commitment to supporting major energy initiatives on a global scale.

The scope of work under this contract involves extensive dredging operations, with the removal of approximately 15 million cubic meters of material across a 5-kilometer channel, which will be 245 meters wide. This dredging is crucial for creating the deepwater channels necessary to accommodate large LNG carriers that will transport liquefied natural gas from the facility to international markets. Beyond the dredging, NMDC Group will also be responsible for the installation of essential navigational aids, which will ensure the safe and efficient maritime access to the new LNG terminal.

Located in Abu Dhabi's Al Ruwais Industrial City, ADNOC's low-carbon LNG project is set to become a key player in the global energy market. The facility will feature two state-of-the-art natural gas liquefaction trains with a combined capacity of 9.6 million metric tons per year. A defining characteristic of this project is its commitment to sustainability; the LNG plant will be powered by renewable energy-driven electric motors, making it one of the lowest-carbon-intensity LNG plants in the world. This aligns with ADNOC's strategy to reduce the carbon footprint of its operations and contribute to global climate goals.

The Ruwais LNG Project is expected to play a pivotal role in bolstering the UAE’s position as a leading energy supplier while supporting global energy security and sustainability goals. It will also contribute significantly to the local economy, creating jobs and fostering the development of specialized skills in the region.

Earlier in June, NMDC Energy, a subsidiary of NMDC Group, in collaboration with Technip Energies, was awarded a landmark USD 5.5 billion contract by ADNOC for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of the LNG Growth Project. This contract further cements NMDC Group's strategic partnership with ADNOC and highlights its role in delivering critical infrastructure for the UAE’s energy sector.
