Major Investment Strengthens Abu Dhabi’s Gas Infrastructure
Abu Dhabi is accelerating investment in natural gas infrastructure as ADNOC Gas moves forward with the next phases of its Rich Gas Development (RGD) programme.
ADNOC Gas has awarded approximately $8.2 billion in engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts for the second and third phases of the project. The wider Rich Gas Development programme is expected to involve total investment of around $13.2 billion.
The contracts will support the expansion of gas processing facilities at Habshan and associated infrastructure, strengthening the UAE’s ability to process additional volumes of natural gas and natural gas liquids.
Supporting UAE Energy Security
The expansion is strategically important for the UAE as demand for natural gas continues to grow across power generation, industrial activity and the country’s wider economic development.
By increasing domestic gas processing capacity, the project can support a more secure and reliable supply of gas while also creating additional feedstock for downstream industries.
Opportunities Across the Energy Supply Chain
Large-scale gas infrastructure projects create opportunities throughout the oil and gas value chain, including engineering, equipment supply, construction, maintenance, logistics and specialist technical services.
The investment also reinforces Abu Dhabi’s position as a major regional hub for gas processing and energy-related industrial activity.
Looking Ahead
The Rich Gas Development programme represents another significant step in the UAE’s strategy to expand its gas capabilities while supporting industrial growth and energy security.
With continued investment in processing infrastructure and downstream applications, Abu Dhabi is strengthening the foundations of its long-term position in the regional and global energy market.
