Siemens Launches Adnoc Taweelah Project
German engineering giant Siemens and Abu Dhabi state producer Adnoc inaugurated the gas compression project at Taweelah, they said November 29. The plant comprises three compression trains, each with a processing capacity of 225mn ft³/day (2.3bn m3/yr). At any one time, two of the compressor trains will be operational with the third on standby. The plant was completed to a tight schedule and is an "important milestone in the Adnoc Group’s 2030 smart growth strategy," they said.
Adnoc CEO Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber said the plant "expands the national gas infrastructure for the efficient delivery of gas within the country. This allows Adnoc to better service its customers throughout the UAE and to implement one of our key strategic imperatives which is to provide a sustainable supply of gas.”

“Siemens and Adnoc took the challenge to build the complete turnkey plant in record time, achieving gas-in in only 16 months from front end engineering and design to commercial operations,” said Siemens. “This is a remarkable achievement, highlighting our strong commitment to participating in Adnoc’s ambitious growth plans as a trusted technology partner.”
Inauguration of the Taweelah Gas Compression Plant comes less than a month after Abu Dhabi’s Supreme Petroleum Council approved Adnoc’s new integrated gas strategy, which will enable the UAE to achieve gas self-sufficiency, with the aim of potentially transitioning to a net gas exporter.
