BACKGROUND

The Habshan facility’s plan for the Rich Gas Development (RGD) programme focuses on significantly increasing gas processing capacity and efficiency through both upgrades and future expansions.

In Phase 1, the core objective for Habshan is to execute substantial upgrades and debottlenecking solutions across its existing mega-complexes, Habshan and Habshan 5, including brownfield modifications and the integration of new facilities to enhance throughput and support upstream expansion.

This phase also includes the addition of a new gas compressor plant to supply pre-conditioned gas to the Ruwais LNG project and the integration of advanced carbon capture units to capture and store 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 annually.

Looking ahead, Adnoc Gas has outlined plans for subsequent RGD phases at Habshan, notably the Habshan 7 new gas train project, which will add a new, dedicated gas processing train adjacent to Habshan 5 to accommodate additional gas volumes, particularly associated gas from Adnoc’s oil production growth.

The P5 gas programme, also known as the Rich Gas Development (RGD) Project, focuses on establishing the surface facilities required to handle this additional associated gas output.

PROJECT SCOPE

The project scope focuses on optimising and debottlenecking existing assets to increase throughput and enhance operational efficiency, with the overall objective of boosting gas processing capacity across four designated Adnoc Gas facilities in Asab, Buhasa, Habshan, and Das Island.

PROJECT STATUS

As of March 2026, the project has transitioned into full-scale execution, with Kent mobilising at Asab and Buhasa facilities to optimise existing assets and unlock new gas streams.

PROJECT FINANCE

Adnoc Gas is the project client.
