gas compression plant, which will ensure uninterrupted gas supplies to major Abu Dhabi industries and the Northern Emirates, was inaugurated yesterday.

The plant, located 50 kilometres north of Abu Dhabi city, will utilise up to 450 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of sales gas, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) said in a statement. The inauguration comes less than a month after Abu Dhabi’s Supreme Petroleum Council approved Adnoc’s new integrated gas strategy, enabling the UAE to achieve gas self-sufficiency. (Staff Report)
