Dubai: ADNOC Gas has awarded $1.34 billion in contracts to Petrofac Emirates and a consortium featuring National Petroleum Construction Co. and C.A.T International Ltd. for the expansion of its natural gas pipeline network.

The new pipeline will extend ADNOC Gas’ existing network from around 3,200 kilometers to over 3,500 kilometers, thus enabling the transportation of higher volumes of natural gas to customers in the northern emirates.
