NMDC Group, UAE announced in a statement that it has secured a contract worth more than $200 million from the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) for crucial marine dredging works in the pioneering Ruwais LNG Project.
This project introduces the first LNG export facility in the Middle East and Africa to use clean energy, showcasing NMDC Group’s capabilities in handling significant marine infrastructure projects and their dedication to advancing vital energy projects globally.
The contract encompasses extensive dredging operations, involving the removal of approximately 15 million cubic meters of material across a 5-kilometer channel with a 245-meter width. NMDC Group will also install vital navigational aids, ensuring safe maritime access to the new LNG facility.
Located in Al Ruwais Industrial City in Abu Dhabi, ADNOC’s low-carbon LNG project will feature two natural gas liquefaction trains with a combined capacity of 9.6 million metric tons per annum. The facility’s use of renewable energy-powered electric motors positions it among the world’s lowest-carbon-intensity LNG plants.
Earlier in June, NMDC Energy, a subsidiary of NMDC Group, in collaboration with Technip Energies, was awarded a $5.5 billion contract by ADNOC for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of the LNG Growth Project.
