China’s ENN LNG, a subsidiary of utility company ENN Natural Gas, has signed the largest UAE–China liquefied natural gas deal with the UAE state-owned Adnoc.
Adnoc will supply ENN LNG with around one million tonnes of LNG a year for 15 years. This will be primarily sourced from its Ruwais LNG project.
The sales and purchase agreement follows a head of agreement signed in December 2023 between the two companies.
Deliveries are expected to begin in 2028, when the Ruwais LNG project should start producing.
Adnoc’s Ruwais LNG plant will be the first LNG export facility in the Middle East and Africa region to operate on clean power, thereby offering low-carbon-intensity LNG.
Once completed, the project will add two liquefaction trains with a combined capacity of 9.6 million tonnes a year, doubling the LNG capacity of Adnoc Gas to around 15 million tonnes annually.
