ABU DHABI, July 03 : ADNOC\u2019s Hail and Ghasha mega-project has met a key development milestone, having completed the \u201csail-out\u201d and installation of critical offshore facility structures from the NMDC Energy Yard in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi.
\nThe structures \u2013 called steel \u201cjackets\u201d \u2013 form the foundation of the project\u2019s offshore facilities. Delivered on schedule and in line with the highest safety and quality standards, the first 2 jackets were transferred from the fabrication yard to the cargo barge and shipped 160 kilometres offshore for installation by NMDC\u2019s Safeen-3000 vessel where they were precisely positioned on the seabed.
\nThis achievement reflects the exceptional coordination and expertise of dedicated project teams and partners, ensuring the structure\u2019s secure anchoring and readiness for the next stage of offshore infrastructure assembly.
\nThe Hail and Ghasha Development Project is the world\u2019s largest gas development of its kind and an important enabler of gas self-sufficiency and the UAE\u2019s growing gas exports.
\nThe Concession will produce 1.5 billion standard cubic feet of natural gas per day \u2013 enough to meet the daily gas demand of Ireland, Greece and Portugal combined. It aims to operate with net-zero emissions, capturing 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 annually, equivalent to removing over 300,000 fossil fuel powered cars off the road.
\nMusabbeh Al Kaabi, ADNOC Upstream CEO, said, \u201cADNOC\u2019s Hail and Ghasha project is an important enabler of UAE gas self-sufficiency, and this sail-out puts us one step closer to delivering on the project. The mega-project is being Made in the Emirates, driving industrial growth and reinforcing the UAE\u2019s advanced manufacturing capabilities.\u201d
\nHail and Ghasha embodies the ethos of the \u201cMake it in the Emirates\u201d initiative and ADNOC\u2019s success in boosting In-Country Value, by prioritising local manufacturing, investing in UAE-based suppliers, supporting economic diversification and nurturing local talent.
\nWith 118 UAE graduates recruited across the project to date, this provides highly skilled career opportunities for UAE nationals to play a key role in delivering this world-scale project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
