The NMDC Group, based in the UAE, has announced the successful acquisition of a contract exceeding $200 million from the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC). This contract is for essential marine dredging works associated with the groundbreaking Ruwais LNG Project.
This project marks a significant milestone as the first LNG export facility in the Middle East and Africa to utilize clean energy, underscoring NMDC Group’s expertise in managing major marine infrastructure projects and its commitment to supporting critical energy initiatives on a global scale.
The contract involves extensive dredging operations, including the removal of approximately 15 million cubic meters of material across a 5-kilometer channel with a width of 245 meters. In addition, NMDC Group will install crucial navigational aids to ensure safe maritime access to the new LNG facility.
Located in Al Ruwais Industrial City, 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 as one of the world’s lowest-carbon-intensity LNG plants.
In June, NMDC Energy, a subsidiary of NMDC Group, in partnership with Technip Energies, secured a $5.5 billion contract from ADNOC for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of the LNG Growth Project.
