ADNOC Signs 15-Year LNG Deal with Shell, Securing 1 Mtpa

ADNOC Signs 15-Year LNG Deal with Shell, Securing 1 Mtpa

Post by : Badri Ariffin

In a major move at ADIPEC 2025, ADNOC has finalized a 15-year Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) with Shell International Trading Middle East Limited FZE, a subsidiary of Shell plc, for the delivery of up to 1 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG).

The deal represents ADNOC’s first long-term LNG agreement with Shell and the eighth long-term offtake arrangement for the Ruwais LNG project, which is rapidly taking shape in Al Ruwais Industrial City, Abu Dhabi. This SPA converts a prior Heads of Agreement into a definitive commitment, reflecting the accelerating pace at which ADNOC is commercializing the project.

In just 16 months after the project’s Final Investment Decision (FID) in July 2024, more than 8 mtpa of the Ruwais LNG plant’s planned 9.6 mtpa capacity is now secured through long-term contracts with customers across Asia and Europe. The project’s first SPA had been announced at ADIPEC 2024, setting the stage for this latest milestone.

The LNG from Ruwais will be sourced primarily from the two 4.8 mtpa liquefaction trains under construction, which will more than double ADNOC Gas’ existing LNG production capacity to approximately 15 mtpa. The plant is notable for being the first LNG export facility in the Middle East and Africa to operate on clean power, incorporating AI and advanced technologies to enhance safety, operational efficiency, and reduce carbon intensity.

Shell holds a 10 percent stake in the Ruwais LNG project through its subsidiary, Shell Overseas Holdings Limited, reinforcing its long-standing partnership with ADNOC. The collaboration highlights both companies’ shared commitment to global energy security and sustainable growth.

With construction, contractor mobilization, and site works progressing on schedule, commissioning of the Ruwais LNG facility is expected by the end of 2028, positioning the UAE as a key player in the global lower-carbon LNG market.
