As part of its commitment to bolstering the United Arab Emirates' energy infrastructure, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) is advancing several key projects aimed at enhancing gas processing capabilities and meeting growing energy demands.
The IGD-E2 project is a significant expansion of ADNOC's gas processing capacity, designed to handle an additional 370 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd) of gas. This initiative builds upon the original Integrated Gas Development program, which began in 2009 to facilitate the transfer of high-pressure gas from offshore fields to onshore processing facilities.
Key Components:
Location: Das Island and Habshan, Abu Dhabi
Scope of Work:
Construction of a new booster compression train with a capacity of 60 MMscfd.
Installation of two feed gas compression and dehydration trains, each with a capacity of 123 MMscfd.
Development of two amine-based fuel gas treatment units, each capable of handling 80 MMscfd.
Integration of drying and gas treatment units, along with power generation and auxiliary services.
Timeline:
Project initiation: 2018
Expected completion: 2025
Contractors:
Engineering and procurement led by Técnicas Reunidas.
Construction and commissioning managed by Target Engineering Construction Company.
The IGD-E2 project is poised to significantly enhance ADNOC's ability to process offshore gas, thereby contributing to the UAE's energy security and economic diversification goals.
The MERAM project aims to increase the extraction and monetization of ethane from existing gas streams, thereby supporting the growth of the petrochemical sector and optimizing the utilization of natural resources.
Key Components:
Location: Habshan, Abu Dhabi
Scope of Work:
Enhancement of ethane extraction by 35-40% from existing onshore facilities.
Construction of new gas processing facilities to recover ethane from residue gas.
Development of a 120-kilometer natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline to transport products to Ruwais.
Modification of existing facilities to accommodate increased production profile.
Timeline
Project initiation: 2024
Expected completion: 2026
Contractors: Joint venture between Técnicas Reunidas and National Petroleum Construction Company (NPCC)
With an investment of approximately $3.6 billion, the MERAM project is a cornerstone in ADNOC's strategy to maximize the value derived from its hydrocarbon resources and to meet the growing demand for petrochemical feedstocks.
In the construction and operation of gas processing facilities like IGD-E2 and MERAM, clad plates play a crucial role due to their enhanced corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.
Key Applications:
Pressure Vessels and Heat Exchangers: Clad plates are used to fabricate equipment that must withstand high pressures and corrosive environments, ensuring longevity and safety
Piping Systems: They are employed in pipelines that transport aggressive fluids, providing a corrosion-resistant barrier while maintaining structural integrity.
Storage Tanks: Clad materials are utilized in the construction of storage tanks for LNG and other volatile substances, offering protection against corrosion and thermal stress
The integration of clad plates in these projects not only enhances operational efficiency but also aligns with environmental and safety standards, contributing to the overall success and sustainability of ADNOC's gas infrastructure initiatives.
