This award marks a significant chapter in Kent’s decades-long partnership with ADNOC and strengthens its position as a leading EPCM contractor in the region.
The award is part of ADNOC Gas’ broader $5 billion Rich Gas Development (RGD) Project, a strategic initiative designed to unlock new gas reservoirs, boost liquid gas exports and enhance gas self-sufficiency for the UAE. Kent’s scope will focus on debottlenecking and optimising existing assets at the Asab and Buhasa sites, enabling increased throughput and improved operational efficiency to meet growing energy demands.
With this award, Kent continues to build on its established track record of delivering complex EPCM scopes for ADNOC and other leading operators across the Middle East. The company’s extensive regional presence, technical depth and longstanding client relationships have made it a trusted partner in delivering safe, innovative and sustainable project outcomes.

We are proud to support ADNOC Gas’ strategic ambitions with this important work at Asab and Buhasa. It reflects the confidence placed in Kent’s EPCM expertise and our commitment to excellence, safety and long-term value creation.”
