Kent has been awarded a major Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) contract by ADNOC Gas, valued at approximately $1.1 billion, for the optimisation and expansion of its Asab and Buhasa gas processing facilities. This award marks a significant chapter in Kent’s decades-long partnership with ADNOC and strengthens its position as a leading EPCM contractor in the region.

The award is part of ADNOC Gas’ broader $5 billion Rich Gas Development (RGD) Project, a strategic initiative designed to unlock new gas reservoirs, boost liquid gas exports and enhance gas self-sufficiency for the UAE. Kent’s scope will focus on debottlenecking and optimising existing assets at the Asab and Buhasa sites, enabling increased throughput and improved operational efficiency to meet growing energy demands.

With this award, Kent continues to build on its established track record of delivering complex EPCM scopes for ADNOC and other leading operators across the Middle East. The company’s extensive regional presence, technical depth and longstanding client relationships have made it a trusted partner in delivering safe, innovative and sustainable project outcomes.

Tush Doshi, Chief Operating Officer at Kent, commented: “This contract award is a clear testament to the strength of our relationship with ADNOC and our track record of successful delivery in the UAE. We are proud to support ADNOC Gas’ strategic ambitions with this important work at Asab and Buhasa. It reflects the confidence placed in Kent’s EPCM expertise and our commitment to excellence, safety and long-term value creation.”

The Rich Gas Development project plays a vital role in ADNOC Gas’ strategy to grow between 2023 and 2029. ADNOC Gas has also underscored its commitment to enhancing In-Country Value (ICV), with plans to create hundreds of new technical roles by 2029, contributing to the UAE’s national economic growth.

Kent is proud to play a pivotal role in the delivery of one of ADNOC Gas’ most strategic projects to date and remains committed to supporting the UAE’s vision for a secure, sustainable energy future.
