About ADGAS
Abu Dhabi Gas Liquefaction Company Ltd is one of the Abu Dhabi National
Oil Company (ADNOC) Group of Companies. ADNOC owns 70% of its shares,
while 15% is owned by Mitsui and Co., of Japan, 10% by British Petroleum

ADGAS Business
The Oil & Gas industry in UAE.
ADGAS, which is the Gulf pioneer in the field of Gas Liquefaction, was
established in 1973 and started producing and exporting liquefied gas in
1977. Its Plant on Das island is unique worldwide in its ability to
process both associated gas, which is a by-product of oil extraction
operations, and natural gas extracted as a free product from gas
reservoirs. ADGAS Plant's feedgas, comprising natural and associated
kinds, comes from Abu Dhabi's offshore fields. The company's plant is
comprised of three process trains. The third of these, started
production in 1994 as an addition to the original two that were
commissioned in 1977.When commissioned, the 3rd LNG Train was the
largest of its kind in the world.
Production Facilities
A plant as huge and advanced as that of ADGAS had to have an extremely
effective and efficient control system to help facilitate its smooth
functioning throughout various stages of the liquefaction process.
Generally speaking, the Company has constantly adapted to the latest and
most modern technologies through its continuing support of advanced
computer systems and applications to facilitate successful and
trouble-free operation of its administration, production and marketing
activities, leading to improved performance and efficiency.
Processing
In order to make it practical and commercially viable to transport gas
from one country to another, its volume has to be greatly reduced. To
obtain maximum volume reduction, the gas has to be liquefied through the
application of proprietary refrigeration technology which makes it
possible to cool the gas down to approximately minus 160° C. This
process also requires very strict safety measures and precautions during
all liquefaction stages, due to the highly vulnerable and inflammable
nature of the gas involved.
Within the framework of close and positive cooperation between the ADNOC
Group of Companies, and in accordance with the directives of the
Supreme Petroleum Council, ADMA-OPCO and ZADCO supply ADGAS with its LNG
plant’s requirements of raw gas. This is a living example of how the
Group companies coordinate and cooperate with each other to actively
participate in the development and progress of this country.
Liquefied gas is exported in huge-sized tankers that are especially designed and equipped to carry gas in its liquid state.
