ADNOC Gas has awarded a FEED contract to Worley Engineering for the establishment of new gas processing facilities at the Bab Gas Cap (BGC) project in Abu Dhabi.

This initiative is set to increase ADNOC Gas's processing capacity by 20%, equating to more than 1.8 billion standard cubic feet per day.

The BGC project's design scope encompasses the development of various processing units including acid gas, CO₂ capture units, dehydration, gas processing and conditioning, natural gas liquid and sulphur recovery.

Worley will deliver these FEED services from its office in Abu Dhabi, with additional support from its Global Integrated Delivery, Digital Consulting and subject matter experts from other Worley locations.

Worley has classified this contract as “transitional work”.

Worley chief executive officer Chris Ashton said: “We are pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with ADNOC in delivering this strategic project, which contributes to strengthening our backlog.”

The final investment decision for the BGC project is due in 2026, reported AGBI.

ADNOC plans to concurrently develop oil and gas in the field, targeting a daily production of 1.5 billion cubic feet of gas and 80 million barrels of condensate.

Last month, ADNOC Gas signed a ten-year LNG supply agreement with GAIL India, following the heads of agreement announced in January.

Under the deal, ADNOC will supply up to 520,000 tonnes per annum of liquefied natural gas, starting in 2026.

The agreement supports India's goal to raise the share of natural gas in its energy mix to 15% by 2030, up from the current 6%.

Recently, ADNOC launched XRG, an international investment company focused on lower-carbon energy and chemicals, with an enterprise value exceeding $80bn (Dh293.8bn).

XRG will operate independently, leveraging ADNOC's experience in international acquisitions.

The company aims to more than double its asset value within the next decade, capitalising on increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions and chemicals.
