Kent has announced a major milestone with the award of a $1.1 billion EPCM contract from ADNOC Gas, reinforcing its role as a leading engineering partner in the UAE’s energy sector. The new Kent ADNOC Gas contract focuses on the optimisation and expansion of the Asab and Buhasa gas processing facilities, located in Abu Dhabi.
This strategic project is part of ADNOC Gas’ wider $5 billion Rich Gas Development (RGD) initiative, aimed at unlocking new gas reservoirs, expanding liquid gas exports, and strengthening the country’s self-sufficiency in natural gas.
As part of this effort, Kent will deliver comprehensive engineering, procurement, and construction management services. Their scope includes debottlenecking and optimisation work on existing infrastructure, which will help improve operational efficiency and increase gas throughput to meet rising domestic and international demand.
Tush Doshi, Chief Operating Officer at Kent, commented:
“This contract award is a testament to our longstanding partnership with ADNOC and our ability to deliver high-value EPCM services. We are honored to support ADNOC Gas in realising its long-term strategic ambitions with this critical project.”
The Kent ADNOC Gas contract is also expected to generate significant in-country value (ICV), supporting the UAE’s national economic goals. ADNOC Gas plans to create hundreds of technical jobs by 2029 as part of the RGD initiative, boosting local employment and knowledge transfer in the energy sector.
Kent’s extensive experience in managing large-scale energy projects across the Middle East, along with its proven technical expertise, continues to make it a trusted partner for ADNOC and other regional energy giants.
As ADNOC Gas accelerates its development timeline through 2029, partnerships like this one with Kent underscore the UAE’s commitment to energy security, innovation, and sustainable economic growth.
