McDermott to design ADNOC’s Fujairah LNG terminal

On social media, ADNOC said its carbon-efficient LNG plant in Fujairah is moving to the design stage. The facility will likely feature an export jetty, storage tanks, bunkering facilities and other associated infrastructure.

ADNOC added the plant is “set to become one of the world’s lowest carbon intensity LNG production facilities through incorporating new technologies and running on clean power.”

The design stage is expected to be followed by the award of an engineering, procurement and construction contract in 2023.

The project is expected to increase ADNOC’s LNG production capacity by 9.6 mta, as the company responds to the growing global demand for natural gas.

In February, ADNOC Logistics & Services agreed an 11-year lease for its LNG carrier Ish to downstream LNG platform company Atlantic Gulf & Pacific International Holdings, where it will be used for the first LNG import terminal in the Philippines at Ilijan in Batangas Bay.

And the company is building two new 175,000-m³ LNG vessels at Jiangnan Shipyard, China, that will join the ADNOC fleet in 2025. The new vessels will enable the company’s long-term growth, supporting the existing LNG business and future plans.
