Adnoc awards major pipeline EPC contract
NMDC Energy wins $255m project to boost gas transportation to customer hubs, advancing UAE’s energy infrastructure
Abu Dhabi-based NMDC Energy has secured a $255m EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) contract from Adnoc Gas, for the Sales Gas Pipeline Network Enhancement Programme (part of the Estidama initiative).
NMDC Energy is a subsidiary of the NMDC Group, a key player in the engineering, procurement, construction and marine dredging sectors.
This project is part of Adnoc Gas’ broader Estidama programme, which aims to upgrade and expand its natural gas pipeline network to more than 3,500 km, increasing gas delivery volumes to the northern UAE.
The project encompasses the EPC of a pipeline and associated facilities to transport sales gas.
NMDC Energy CEO Ahmed Al Dhaheri said: “We look forward to continuing our long-standing partnership with Adnoc Gas through this project. It highlights our shared commitment to advancing the UAE’s energy infrastructure, ensuring a reliable and sustainable supply of natural gas across the emirates, and supporting the nation’s goals of achieving gas self-sufficiency.
“In addition, this project will not only strengthen the UAE’s energy framework but also underscores our commitment to sustainable growth and the local economy, with a significant portion of the contract’s value being reinvested within the UAE.”
Last year, NMDC Energy, in a consortium with CAT International, a major trading firm in the Middle East, had secured a contract on the earlier phase of the Estidama project.
Valued at over $600 million, that contract includes the installation of 191 km of new sales gas pipelines, along with additional infrastructure such as nitrogen and water pipelines and a jump-over connection.
The new contract reinforces NMDC Energy’s position as a leading EPC contractor in the energy sector, committed to delivering high-quality projects set to drive and innovate the UAE’s energy industry.
