Setting Sail into New Energy Horizons
Abu Dhabi, UAE – in a move that blends vision, technology, and national ambition, ADNOC has officially announced the **Final Investment Decision (FID)** for the **SARB Deep Gas Development**, a milestone project within the Ghasha Concession, located offshore. This decision marks a defining chapter in the emirate’s pursuit of long-term **gas self-sufficiency** and global energy leadership.
Just 120 kilometers from Abu Dhabi’s shores, the SARB Deep Gas Development will deliver an impressive **200 million standard cubic feet per day (scfd)** before the end of the decade—enough to power more than 300,000 homes every single day. Through innovation, the project intertwines efficiency and safety by embedding advanced technologies and artificial intelligence (AI), all operated remotely from Arzanah Island. This high-tech approach elevates offshore operations, maximizing productivity while minimizing risk.
Technology Meets Ambition
Transitioning from vision to action, ADNOC is strategically leveraging its existing offshore infrastructure to integrate the SARB Deep Gas Development seamlessly with neighboring projects. A new offshore platform will host four powerful gas production wells, feeding directly to Das Island. There, the gas will be tied into ADNOC Gas facilities for upstream treatment, creating a smooth flow of resources from beneath the seabed to consumers—and effectively knitting together the company’s operational ecosystem.
Musabbeh Al Kaabi, ADNOC Upstream CEO, emphasized that this development strengthens the UAE’s role as not only a reliable exporter to international markets but also a pioneer in sustainable energy management. The Ghasha Concession is a testament to Abu Dhabi’s resolve to unlock world-class gas reserves, and with AI and cutting-edge engineering in play, the nation’s path forward is as deep and promising as the waters that conceal these resources.
The **SARB Deep Gas Development** is more than an engineering project; it’s a declaration of intent. It reflects Abu Dhabi’s ability to merge tradition and innovation, ensuring the UAE continues to shine as a beacon in global energy production.
