Front-End Engineering Design for New Natural Gas Liquids Fractionation Train in the UAE

Project Background

Penspen has been awarded the FEED scope for pipelines and piping systems to support a major greenfield NGL fractionation project in the UAE, being developed by a leading National Oil Company through an EPC contractor.

The new facility will process up to 23,000 tonnes per day of natural gas liquids (NGL), representing a key milestone in the nation’s downstream expansion strategy and reinforcing the UAE’s position as a regional energy hub.

Our awarded scope includes nine pipelines and twelve piping systems, spanning core engineering disciplines such as Process, Piping, Pipeline, Civil, and Structural.

Services

With extensive experience, including our involvement in the Hail & Ghasha Detailed Engineering Project, Penspen will lead the piping and pipeline design. A seamless interface will be developed to ensure full integration of complete design elements.

The project will be supported by Penspen specialists across multiple disciplines, including Project Management, Process Engineering, Pipeline and Piping Design, and Civil & Structural Engineering, to ensure delivery of a high-quality and price competitive FEED for the client

Result

Upon completion, FEED and cost estimates for the EPC phase will be submitted to the end client for review, followed by the selection of a final contractor for project execution.

Penspen’s expertise in pipeline engineering plays a vital role in ensuring the successful delivery of this project, enabling the new fractionation train to become fully operational by Q3 2028. This advancement supports the UAE’s commitment to long-term energy security, reinforcing its position as a global leader in energy production.
