Adnoc Sour Gas intends to produce another one billion cubic feet per day of sour gas by 2024 with the Hail and Ghasha sour gas scheme.

US-headquartered Bechtel is doing the front-end engineering and design (feed) works on the project while US-based KBR is the overall project management consultant.
