ADNOC Gas Eyes East Coast LNG Export Facility Amid Hormuz Disruptions

ADNOC Gas is considering building an LNG export facility on the UAE's east coast to reduce its reliance on the Strait of Hormuz following disruptions caused by the Iran war. The company has not made a final decision, but it would give the UAE an alternative route for LNG exports without sending supplies through the contested waterway.

The plan forms part of wider efforts to build infrastructure around Hormuz, including new pipelines and port expansions. ADNOC Gas is also building an LNG export terminal at Ruwais in the Persian Gulf, which will more than double its export capacity to 15 million tons per year (mt/t).

Separately, the company plans to invest $8.2 billion in gas production and processing facilities to handle higher output.
