State-owned oil firm Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) has launched its Taweelah gas compression plant, which will cater to the gas needs of industries in Abu Dhabi and the Northern Emirates.

Located 50km north of Abu Dhabi, the plant will receive gas through by Adnoc Gas Processing’s Maqta-Taweelah pipeline.

The gas compression plant is expected to supply up to 450 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd).

The project was taken up to meet the growing regional demand for energy. Siemens worked as the main contractor for the project, which comprises three compression trains, each with a processing capacity of 225mmscfd.

Adnoc Group CEO Dr Sultan Al Jaber said: “The Taweelah Gas Compression Plant supports the nation’s increasing demand for energy and will play a critical role in the UAE’s drive towards economic diversification by supporting major industrial users.

“It effectively expands the national gas infrastructure for the efficient delivery of gas within the country.”

“It effectively expands the national gas infrastructure for the efficient delivery of gas within the country. This will allow ADNOC to better service its customers throughout the UAE and to implement one of our key strategic imperatives, which is to provide a sustainable and economic supply of gas.”

Earlier this month, the company received an approval for its new integrated gas strategy that is aimed at ensuring gas self-sufficiency within the country.

Adnoc also reported new discoveries of gas in place, totalling 15 trillion standard cubic feet.

Siemens president and CEO Joe Kaeser said: “When our customer told us this is a strategically significant project for the UAE and will drive economic development, we committed to delivering in unprecedented time and reliability.

“Completed in record time, Adnoc’s Taweelah gas compression plant is a global benchmark and a great example of how excellent teams, working closely with our strong partners, enable us to deliver on big promises.”

The facility will have at least two of the compression trains operational, with the third on standby.
