ADNOC has announced the final investment decision (FID) for the SARB Deep Gas development within the Ghasha Concession, offshore Abu Dhabi. The project is expected to deliver 200 million standard cubic feet per day (scfd) of gas before the end of the decade, providing enough energy to power more than 300,000 homes daily.
Described as a technically advanced development, the project will integrate advanced digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) and will be operated remotely from Arzanah Island, leveraging existing infrastructure to enhance efficiency and safety.
Located approximately 120 kilometers offshore Abu Dhabi, the development includes a new offshore platform with four gas production wells. These will be connected to Das Island, where the gas will be tied into ADNOC Gas facilities for upstream processing, maximizing integration with other ADNOC offshore projects.
Commenting on the milestone, Musabbeh Al Kaabi, ADNOC Upstream CEO, said:
“This strategic project within the Ghasha Concession reinforces the progress we are making to fully unlock Abu Dhabi’s world-class gas resources, supporting UAE gas self-sufficiency and strengthening the nation’s role as a reliable exporter to international markets.
“The development will leverage advanced technologies and AI and maximize synergies across ADNOC’s offshore infrastructure, unlocking efficiencies and value.”
The FID follows ADNOC’s successful completion—together with Eni and PTTEP—of a structured financing transaction of up to $11 billion (AED 40.4 billion) for the broader Hail and Ghasha sour gas development.
