ADNOC Gas has awarded $8.2 billion in EPC contracts to Wison Engineering and Tecnimont for the next phases of its Rich Gas Development programme in Abu Dhabi, expanding gas-processing and NGL recovery capacity.
ADNOC Gas has awarded $3.9 billion to Wison Engineering for Phase 2 and $4.3 billion to Tecnimont for Phase 3 of its Rich Gas Development (RGD) programme. The awards cover major processing infrastructure at the Habshan and Ruwais facilities.
Phase 2 will add a new natural gas processing train at Habshan, with the project scope including gas pipelines, separation and condensate stabilisation facilities, acid gas removal and deep NGL recovery units, as well as a 220kV electrical substation.
Phase 3 will add a fifth NGL fractionation train at Ruwais, together with treatment and sweetening systems, regeneration gas treatment, propane refrigeration, storage and associated facilities. Once completed, the facility is expected to have an output capacity of approximately 23,000 tonnes per day, equivalent to about 8 million tonnes annually.
The latest awards follow the $5 billion investment in Phase 1, bringing total investment across the three RGD phases to approximately $13.2 billion. The programme is designed to expand gas-processing capacity while increasing recovery of higher-value liquids from rich natural gas.
ADNOC Gas is also progressing a broader investment programme, with approximately $28 billion planned between 2026 and 2030 across its growth projects. The RGD programme forms part of this wider expansion of gas-processing and export infrastructure.
The EPC awards create significant opportunities across engineering, procurement, construction, process equipment, pipeline systems, electrical infrastructure and specialist services as the projects move toward execution.
