ADNOC takes final investment decision, awards $5 bn in contracts
The contracts involve expanding key processing units to increase throughput and improve operational efficiency across four ADNOC Gas Facilities: Asab, Buhasa, Habshan (Onshore), and the Das Island liquefaction facility (Offshore). The company intends to take FIDs on two additional phases of the RGD project at Habshan and Ruwais to enable the delivery of greater production capacity to meet growing market demands. The RGD project will enable the development of new gas reservoirs, which are key to boosting liquid gas exports, supporting gas self-sufficiency in the UAE, and providing essential feedstock to the country's growing petrochemical industry. Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) contracts have been awarded in three tranches for phase 1. The first tranche, valued at $2.8 billion, has been awarded to Wood for the Habshan facility. The remaining two tranches – $1.2 billion for the Das Island liquefaction facility and $1.1 billion for the Asab and Buhasa facilities – have been awarded to two consortia: Petrofac; and Kent Plc. Fatema Al Nuaimi, Chief Executive Officer of ADNOC Gas, said: 'The FID and contract awards for the first phase of the Rich Gas Development project mark a significant milestone in ADNOC Gas' strategy to deliver +40% EBITDA growth between 2023 and 2029. This strategic investment is expected to deliver significant new value for our shareholders and enable continued sustainable growth for the company, our employees, and the UAE.' Phase 1 of the RGD project focuses on optimizing and debottlenecking existing gas assets while unlocking new and valuable gas streams. As part of ADNOC Gas' long-term strategy, which is focused on growth and futureproofing its business, the RGD project aligns with the company's vision to deliver important growth initiatives between 2025 and 2029. Additionally, the RGD project highlights ADNOC Gas' commitment to enhancing In-Country Value (ICV), with plans to create hundreds of new, field-based technical positions by 2029, further contributing to the UAE's economic growth.

AFI Robotics drives industrial innovation by empowering Saudi youth
Saudi Arabia – In a region increasingly defined by its investment in youth-driven innovation, AFI Robotics stands out not only for its cutting-edge industrial technologies, but for its active role in nurturing the next generation of Saudi engineers and innovators. AFI Robotics, a leading engineering firm based in Saudi Arabia, is making its mark by developing robotic systems for industrial environments. But beyond its technological breakthroughs, the company is actively contributing to a broader mission: enabling young talent in Saudi Arabia to lead the future of industrial innovation. Founded in 2020, AFI Robotics was born from a belief that homegrown solutions could meet the region's most pressing safety and operational challenges. That same belief extends to the young engineers, data scientists, and researchers who are emerging as key drivers of change in the sector. 'Youth are the cornerstone of any innovation ecosystem,' says Rabieh Ghossainy, Founder of AFI Robotics. 'We see it as our responsibility to not just build technologies for industry, but to create real opportunities for the bright minds who will take those technologies even further. Their creativity, adaptability, and fresh perspectives are what drive true progress. If we want to shape a future-ready industrial landscape, we need to actively invest in the talent that will lead it, not years from now, but starting today.' AFI Robotics has supported young professionals by integrating talent early in the product lifecycle, from mechanical design and AI integration to on-ground testing. The company's internship and mentoring efforts have helped aspiring engineers gain hands-on exposure to real-world industrial challenges, including robotics for confined space inspection, sludge mapping using echo sounders, and defect recognition with machine learning tools. Additionally, in 2022, AFI Robotics entered into a formal joint venture with King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM), and as a result, AFI Robotics research team resides within the university's Interdisciplinary Research Center for Intelligent Manufacturing and Robotics (IRC-IMR), where students and researchers contribute to co-developing several advanced robotic systems, with a mandate to serve the local energy sector. This is a key milestone that underscores the company's commitment to localized innovation. In recognition of this collaboration, AFI Robotics received KFUPM's Vision to Venture Award, underscoring the company's role in turning academic research into viable industrial applications, building a strong foundation for how industry and academia can work together to empower the next generation. With demand growing for local expertise in robotics, machine learning, and industrial engineering, AFI Robotics continues to support initiatives that connect emerging talent with cutting-edge technologies. Whether through direct recruitment, knowledge sharing, or mentorship, the company is helping shape a future workforce capable of driving Saudi Arabia's industrial ambitions forward. By integrating youth into meaningful technical roles, AFI Robotics is also helping to narrow the gap between academic learning and real-world application. The company encourages early exposure to operational environments, believing it builds stronger problem-solving skills and equips young professionals with a deeper understanding of the challenges facing industrial facilities today. This practical approach to learning is helping young engineers build confidence and gain experience that's difficult to replicate in traditional training settings. Looking ahead, AFI Robotics continues to explore opportunities to expand its engagement with emerging talents, whether through future research collaborations, knowledge-sharing forums, or expanded mentorship initiatives. These efforts reflect the company's commitment to fostering a culture where young professionals are not only welcomed but empowered to grow. As Saudi Arabia advances its goals for local capability and innovation, AFI Robotics is proud to be part of the momentum, helping shape the talent that will support the region's evolving industrial needs. For AFI Robotics, innovation isn't just about what machines can do, it's about who builds them.
