  • The contract is part of the Ghasha concession, the largest offshore sour gas development in the world.
  • The project consists of the design and execution of the necessary onshore facilities to process gas coming from the Dalma field, on the northwest coast of the country.
  • The natural gas produced will be an important driver to enable gas self-sufficiency for the UAE.
  • The contract was awarded today during ADIPEC (Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference), one of the world’s most important energy sector meetings, which started in the UAE on 15 November.

Técnicas Reunidas and its Emirati partner Target were today awarded a contract by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) related to the Dalma Gas Development Project being carried out by an association of companies led by the ADNOC off the northwest coast of the UAE.

The award is part of the Ghasha concession, the world’s largest offshore sour gas development. Stakeholders in the Ghasha Concession comprise ADNOC (55%), Italy’s ENI (25%), Germany’s Wintershall (10%), Austria’s OMV (5%) and Russia’s Lukoil (5%).

The award was signed today by ADNOC’s Upstream Executive Director, Mr. Yaser Saeed Almazrouei, within the framework of ADIPEC (Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference), one of the most important international meetings of the energy sector, which started on 15th November.
