ADNOC Awards Bab Gas Cap FEED to Worley

ADNOC Gas plc, part of Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. (ADNOC), has awarded the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) contract for new gas processing facilities at Bab Gas Cap (BGC) to Worley Engineering Pty. Ltd.

The new facilities would boost ADNOC Gas’ processing capacity by 20 percent or over 1.8 billion standard cubic feet per day (scfd) with a Final Investment Decision (FID) expected in 2026, the company said in a media release.

ADNOC Gas said that the processing facilities will be designed to optimize the production of natural gas liquids (NGL), condensate, sales gas, and sulfur.

“Today is an important step forward for this project, which has the potential to substantially increase our gas processing capacity, unlock additional revenue, and strengthen ADNOC Gas’ position as a global gas supplier. This ambitious project will deploy state-of-the-art gas processing technologies and make an important contribution to the UAE’s gas self-sufficiency efforts. We are pleased to see the BGC project reach this stage”, Ahmed Alebri, CEO of ADNOC Gas, said.

The project involves the development of gas processing and conditioning units, acid gas recovery units, dehydration units, sulfur recovery units, NGL recovery units, and carbon dioxide (CO2) capture facilities, the company said. 

The project also involves the construction of injection facilities and associated utilities, along with the design and routing of new product pipelines to transfer liquid sulfur to the Habshan Sulfur Granulation Plant, ADNOC said.

The facilities will receive hydrocarbons from a new development of the Bab field. ADNOC said it used advanced field development studies and state-of-the-art technologies to enable the simultaneous development of oil and gas in the field. The project is expected to unlock a potential production of 1.5 billion cubic feet per day of gas and 80 million barrels per day of condensate, it said.
