Wison Engineering has broken ground on the new natural gas processing train at the Habshan facility in Abu Dhabi on 11 November 2026, marking the start of construction for Phase 2 of ADNOC Gas' Rich Gas Development (RGD) Project.
ADNOC Gas awarded Wison Engineering the $3.9 billion EPC contract for RGD Phase 2 in August 2026. Together with an associated 220kV switch station, the total contract value is approximately $4.04 billion, making it Wison Engineering's largest EPC project to date.
The project will add a new large-scale gas processing train at Habshan. Once completed, it will increase ADNOC Gas' gas processing capacity and operational flexibility, supporting the continued development of the UAE's downstream and petrochemical industries.
As the main contractor, Wison Engineering will bring together its integrated EPC expertise, execution excellence and global supply-chain resources to deliver the new gas processing train including the project's key gas treatment and deep NGL recovery facilities.
Hongliang Zhou, Chief Executive Officer of Wison Engineering, said: "The groundbreaking marks the project's transition into full construction. We greatly value the trust ADNOC Gas has placed in Wison and the close collaboration between our teams. As the project moves forward, we will maintain a strong focus on safety, quality and disciplined execution, working closely with ADNOC Gas and our partners to advance key milestones and deliver the project successfully."
Engineering, procurement and site preparation activities have been progressing since the project launch. With construction now under way, on-site activities will continue to ramp up as Habshan facility moves into its next phase of execution.
The Habshan facility expansion is Phase 2 of ADNOC Gas' Rich Gas Development (RGD) Project, which will add a new natural gas processing train to expand processing capacity, enhance operational flexibility and support the UAE's growing downstream and petrochemical sectors. The project also strengthens Wison Engineering's experience and delivery capabilities in large-scale international EPC projects in the Middle East.
