NMDC Energy lands $255m Adnoc pipeline EPC contract
ABU DHABI, July 15, 2024
Abu Dhabi-based NMDC Energy has secured a $255 million EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) contract from Adnoc Gas for the Sales Gas Pipeline Network Enhancement Programme (Estidama).
NMDC Energy (formerly NPCC) is a subsidiary of NMDC Group, a leading 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 programme includes several packages designed to increase the capacity and efficiency of Adnoc's gas distribution network.
The project encompasses the EPC of a pipeline and associated facilities to transport sales gas, said a top official.
"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," stated NMDC Energy CEO Ahmed Al Dhaheri.
"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," he added.
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.
This contract reinforces NMDC Energy's position as a leading EPC contractor in the energy sector, committed to delivering high-quality projects that drive the UAE's energy industry forward, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
