State-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) has awarded a $200 million contract to Abu Dhabi-listed NMDC Group for marine dredging works on the Ruwais LNG project. 

The contract includes the removal of 15 million cubic metres of material across a 5-kilometre channel with a 245-metre width.  

In addition, the company will install navigational aids to ensure safe maritime access to the low-carbon LNG facility.

In June, a consortium of Technip Energies and NMDC Energy, a subsidiary of NMDC Group, was awarded a $5.5 billion contract by Adnoc for the engineering, procurement, and construction of the LNG project.

The Ruwais facility will have two 4.8 million tonnes per year (mpta) LNG liquefaction trains, more than doubling Adnoc’s existing LNG output to 15 million mtpa.

The LNG export facility will be the first in the Middle East and North Africa region to run on clean power. It will also help Abu Dhabi become the second-largest LNG supplier after Qatar in the Middle East.

Wood Mackenzie, a data and analytics business based in Edinburgh, has predicted that the Middle East will spend up to $120 billion by 2030 to boost its natural gas production.
