ADNOC Gas awards design contract for gas processing facilities at Bab Gas Cap

emirates7 - ADNOC Gas plc has announced that Worley Engineering Pty Ltd has secured the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) contract for new gas processing facilities at the Bab Gas Cap (BGC) project.

These facilities aim to increase ADNOC Gas’ processing capacity by over 1.8 billion standard cubic feet per day (scfd), a 20% boost. A Final Investment Decision (FID) for the project is expected in 2026. The design will prioritize optimizing the production of natural gas liquids (NGL), condensate, sales gas, and sulfur, aligning with ADNOC’s gas expansion strategy and supporting the UAE’s drive for gas self-sufficiency.

Dr. Ahmed Alebri, CEO of ADNOC Gas, highlighted the significance of this development, stating, “This marks a crucial milestone for a project that could significantly enhance our gas processing capabilities, generate additional revenue, and reinforce ADNOC Gas’ global standing. The initiative will utilize cutting-edge gas processing technologies and contribute to the UAE’s gas self-sufficiency goals.”

The project’s scope includes designing facilities for gas processing and conditioning, acid gas recovery, dehydration, sulfur recovery, NGL recovery, and CO2 capture. Additionally, it will involve constructing injection systems, related utilities, and pipelines to transport liquid sulfur efficiently to the Habshan Sulfur Granulation Plant.

Hydrocarbons for these facilities will be sourced from an advanced development of the Bab field. Leveraging innovative technologies, ADNOC plans to enable simultaneous oil and gas extraction, potentially yielding 1.5 billion cubic feet per day of gas and 80,000 barrels per day of condensate.
