Petrofac, a leading international service provider to the energy industry, has been selected by Adnoc Gas to undertake an Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management Services (EPCm) contract for a $1.2 billion project to expand its gas production facilities on Das Island.

As part of the overall Rich Gas Development (RGD) Programme, Petrofac will provide EPCM services and oversee procurement and construction contracts to build a new inlet facility, two new gas dehydration and compression trains, each with a capacity of 420 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD), and associated infrastructure.

Petrofac will also upgrade existing facilities to increase the site’s capacity for collecting and transporting raw natural gas. These upgrades will significantly increase gas processing capacity to meet rising customer demand.

Located 160 km north-west of mainland UAE, the Das Island facility has been operational since 1977, and is the third longest LNG operation still in production globally. With a liquefaction capacity of six million metric tons per annum (MMtpa), it remains a key component of the nation’s LNG export strategy.
