The contract has an estimated value to Hill of approximately Dh57 million ($15.5 million), a statement said.

Hill's services will include providing facility management services for Adnoc's existing portfolio of assets, management of day-to-day operations, support for GSU's future expansion plans, management of construction phases including pre- and post-construction, contract management and project controls.

"We are extremely honoured that Adnoc continues to turn to Hill for their most important assignments," said Mohammed Al Rais, regional president (Middle East) for Hill's Project Management Group.  "We are especially excited to have been selected to provide assistance across their entire portfolio of facilities.”

Adnoc was established in 1971 to operate in all areas of the oil and gas industry and since then has steadily broadened its activity, establishing companies and subsidiaries and creating an integrated oil and gas industry in Abu Dhabi.  Today, Adnoc ranks among the top 10 oil and gas companies in the world.
