Técnicas Reunidas awarded $510m contract in UAE

Técnicas Reunidas, Spain and its Emirati partner Target were 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).

The Ghasha Concession:

The Ghasha field consists of several fields with significant gas reserves still in the development phase (Hail, Ghasha, Hair Dalma, Satah, Bu Haseer, Nasr, SARB, Shuwaihat and Mubarraz fields), which have been identified by ADNOC in the northwest of the country.

The contract is expected to be completed in 2025 and will enable the Dalma field to produce around 340 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of natural gas an amount equivalent to 11% of Spain’s annual natural gas consumption.

The offshore Dalma field is located 190 kilometers northwest of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The natural gas produced will be an important driver to enable gas self-sufficiency for the UAE.

The contract awarded to Técnicas Reunidas and Target

The amount of the contract obtained by Técnicas Reunidas and its local partner Target is around 950 million dollars. Of this amount, $510 million corresponds to Técnicas Reunidas.

This is an EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) contract covers the engineering, procurement and construction of gas conditioning facilities for gas dehydration, compression and associated utilities on Arzanah Island located 80 kilometers from Abu Dhabi.

Tecnimont, Technip Energies and Samsung Engineering JV awarded $80m contract for Hail & Ghasha Project in Abu Dhabi

Maire Tecnimont S.p.A. announces that Tecnimont S.p.A. received a Letter of Award from ADNOC for the early engineering and procurement works (“Pre-Construction Services Agreement-PCSA”) related to the onshore facilities of the Hail & Ghasha Development Project, as member of a Joint Venture composed of Tecnimont, Technip Energies and Samsung Engineering.


The overall contract value to the Joint Venture for the early engineering and procurement works on the onshore facilities is approximately USD 80 million.

The PCSA scope of work also includes the preparation of an Open Book Estimate for the full project delivery scope, which will be considered as part of the Client’s Final Investment Decision.

The awards come as ADNOC accelerates gas expansion, as part of its low carbon growth strategy to continue responsibly meeting global energy needs. ADNOC is committed to unlocking the UAE’s abundant natural gas reserves to enable domestic gas self-sufficiency, industrial growth and diversification, as well as to meet growing global gas demand.

Alessandro Bernini, Maire Tecnimont Group CEO, commented: “We are honoured to keep on supporting ADNOC in accelerating its gas growth plans, where Maire Tecnimont has been involved in its energy transformation industry since the late 90s, with the first polyolefin complex (Borouge 1) completed in 2001. This award confirms Maire Tecnimont’s commitment to creating value in the UAE thanks to its technology-driven unparalleled skills and distinctive competences.”

In another statement, Samsung Engineering announced that it received a Letter of Award (LoA) from ADNOC for a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) for the Hail & Ghasha Gas Development Project, as member of a joint venture. The contract was awarded to Samsung Engineering and their joint venture partners Technip Energies and Tecnimont S.p.A. (TST JV).

The overall contract value to the joint venture for the early engineering and procurement works on the onshore facilities is approximately USD 80 million.

ADNOC is committed to unlocking the UAE’s abundant natural gas reserves to enable domestic gas self-sufficiency, industrial growth and diversification, as well as to meet growing global gas demand.

Samsung Engineering’s regional presence through its global operations network and successful implementation of innovative solutions in the past with ADNOC projects proved to be key in being entrusted to participate in this mega-project. The company’s proven track record in the UAE includes 10 projects such as the Borouge-3, Fertil-2 Ammonia & Urea Complex and more recently ADNOC Refining Crude Flexibility Project. Most notably, the company has already executed a gas megaproject for ADNOC, the Shah Sour Gas Development, which has similar production capacity as Hail and Ghasha Gas Development Project.

Hong Namkoong, President and CEO of Samsung Engineering said, “We are proud and honored to receive these early awards and be involved in one of ADNOC’s flagship megaprojects. Based on our expertise in the UAE market, extensive know-how in gas development projects, as well as our own unique project delivery solution under the “AHEAD” execution model, we, together with our joint venture partners, are confident in executing the project successfully and meeting the expectations of ADNOC and their international concession partners.”
