TJN Ruwais JV, the joint venture between Technip Energies, JGC Corporation, and NMDC Energy, has awarded CB&I a lump sum contract for engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of two cryogenic tanks and associated civil, structural, mechanical and piping works for its liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, located in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi, UAE.
Under the contract, CB&I will deliver two 180,000m3 full containment concrete LNG tanks, including all piping and civil infrastructure.
CB&I’s construction activities are expected to commence in November 2025 with project completion targeted in early 2028.
The Ruwais LNG project, currently being developed in Al Ruwais Industrial City, Abu Dhabi, will be the first LNG export facility in the Middle East and Africa region to operate on clean power.
Ruwais LNG, which comprises two LNG liquefaction trains with a total export capacity of 9.6mmtpa, will more than double ADNOC’s LNG production output, and help meet the growing global demand for natural gas.
Project delivery will be led from CB&I’s UAE office for tank construction, Plainfield, Ill., USA office for engineering, and CB&I’s Saudi Arabia and Thailand offices will provide fabrication and modularization support, respectively.
Mark Butts, CEO of CB&I, said: “CB&I’s commitment to the Gulf region for delivery of world-class LNG storage began in 1981 and is shown with this latest project award. Our ability to offer execution certainty by utilizing the global reach uniquely available to CB&I for project delivery, coupled with a balance of cost and quality, allow CB&I to provide the best value product in the market. It also provides us with another opportunity to contribute to the energy transition market.”
