ADNOC Gas is undertaking the construction of a high-pressure sales gas pipeline and associated utility infrastructure in Abu Dhabi, Emirate of Abu Dhabi, UAE.

The new 56” Habshan to AL NOUF sales gas pipeline and associated facilities to be installed between COMPANY’s Habshan Complex to AL NOUF EWEC Plant.

52” JUMP OVER BETWEEN MERAM AND ESTIDAMA PKG 3

A 52” interconnection including ROV and associated facilities shall be provided between MERAM 56” sales gas pipeline tie-in and ESTIDAMA Package-3 56” pipeline tie-in. 52” piping to be installed on the existing / new pipe rack to cross the existing pipeline corridor. Cold tap Tie-ins on both existing pipeline is envisaged to install this jump over connection. The existing MERAM plot or ESTIDAMA Package 3 plot at 8.2km shall be extended to install the new ROV and associated facilities.

This project will link the Habshan gas complex to the Al Nouf Consumer Receiving Stations (CRSs) to supply gas for the EWEC Mirfa Relocation and AI Data Center Phase 2. It includes a 127 km, 56-inch diameter pipeline, pig launcher and receiver facilities, block valve stations, tie-in lines to industrial power plants, and dual CRS units equipped for filtering, metering, gas quality control and regulatory pressure control.

The aim is to increase gas transmission capacity to support the Al Nouf 1 IPP (3.3 GW) and subsequent AI Data Center Phase 2 hubs, ensure a reliable supply at a minimum downstream pressure of 25 barg, and free up land for sustainable energy and infrastructure development by relocating utilities and power lines at Mirfa. Increased capacity ensures the plant and AI Centre are adequately fueled for both current and future demand.

The US$407 million project includes the following:

56” Sales Gas Pipeline – Habshan to AL NOUF:

1. Construction of a new 56” sales gas pipeline, a length of 127 km from Habshan to AL NOUF CRS
