Natural Gas project in Abu Dhabi

For more than 46 years, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has played a fundamental role in the economic development of Abu Dhabi. The company's 2030 strategy is to transform the way they maximise value from every barrel, assure safe gas supply to the area, deliver the greatest possible return to the emirate - all while helping to meet the world’s growing demand for sustainable solutions.

Shifting towards safer and more sustainable supply

In January 2019, ADNOC undertook the development of the City Gas Network Project’s phase 2, in the main areas of Abu Dhabi. An extensive project, that is estimated to be as much as US$ 80m; contracted value US$ 60m.

The project aims to lay 68 kilometres of natural gas distribution pipeline network (4 bar) in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, and involves the installation of fibre optics, cathodic protection works, a SCADA system as well as associated facilities with civil and mechanical works. The main focus of the project is to replace the existing liquid petroleum gas and compressed natural gas cylinders in the city.

Phase 2 initiated

PETROJET (The Petroleum Projects and Technical Consultations Co.) won the project contract back in 2019, and is led by project manager Mr. Obai Shahien. it is due for completion by December 2023. The scope of work in the second phase includes design, construction, operation, maintenance, communication network and emergency activities - including high pressure gas pipelines and natural gas distribution network. The gas will end up at residential, commercial and industrial customers' appliances across the Emirates, a population of about 1,5 M. Strong relationships with both EPC Contractors and a proven track record in the region opened a wide array of doors for the key supply and testing of PE Fittings from the Fusion Group as well as PE Ball Valves from AVK Syntec.
