A senior official from the Abu Dhabi Gas Liquids Company Limited (ADGAS) has said a the company will be transporting 700,000 metric tonnes of gas liquids from offshore to onshore by July this year, but has no plans to expand production in the near future.
Speaking on the sidelines of the fifth Gas Summit Arabia being held in Abui Dhabi, Hasan Al Marzooqi, deputy general manager of ADGAS told ArabianOilandGas.com that the company had no immediate expansion in Abu Dhabi.
“We are not going to expand LNG exports in the near future and we are just studying whether we should replace or maintain our old LNG trains,” Al Marzooqi said.
“We have three LNG trains, and we may maintain them,” he added.
Al Marzooqi also said that the company plans to move excess gas liquids onshore in a few months from Das Island to Habshan.
“Around 700,000 tons per year of liquids will be transported from offshore to onshore this July,” he said.
ADNOC is currently producing 6 billion cubic feet of gas per day from the UAE and there is no demand deficit as the company is exporting according to the official.
Al Marzooqi also added that ADGAS is exporting 5.4 million tons a year of LNG with 350,000 – 400,000 tons a year of LPG exports.
Japan and Korea are the key recipients of ADGAS’s LNG exports through term contracts, he added.
