Background

This LNG terminal is a later version of the revived Fujairah export LNG Terminal. In May 2023, ANOC announced that it would build the Fujairah terminal in Al Ruwais Industrial City.

In a statement issued by ADNOC in 2023, the company explained that because of the proximity of Al Ruwais to existing ADNOC's operations, infrastructure, and future growth projects, the terminal would be relocated from Fujairah to Al Ruwais Industrial City.

The proposed Ruwais LNG Terminal is a 9.6 mtpa facility with two 4.8 mtpa LNG liquefaction trains. The project has been designed so that the LNG processing facilities use electric power and run on both nuclear and renewable energy.

Through the new project, ADNOC plans to more than double its current LNG production capacity, to meet growing global gas demands.

In November 2023, ADNOC said that it was advancing towards a final investment decision (FID) for the project, but it did not provide a specific timeline. The gas and LNG unit of ADNOC, Adnoc Gas, also recently awarded Baker Hughes a contract for the project.
