ADNOC Onshore, a subsidiary of ADNOC, has partnered with Engineering for the Petroleum and Process Industries (ENPPI) to source steel pipes from local manufacturers for projects across its onshore fields, strengthening the UAE’s industrial sector and creating 50 engineering jobs for UAE nationals in the process.
Through its in-country value (ICV) program, ADNOC is prioritizing local sourcing and manufacturing. It seeks to boost the UAE’s industrial capabilities and reduce dependence on imports, further advancing the establishment of a self-reliant and diverse economy. These local manufacturers have tapped into the AED90 billion ($24.5 billion) that ADNOC has allocated for critical industrial products in its procurement pipeline by 2030.
“ADNOC is proud to continue collaborating with our partners to boost the UAE’s industrial and economic growth. Our partnership with ENPPI will generate significant local manufacturing opportunities that will support the growth of the UAE’s industrial base and create high-skilled private sector jobs to UAE nationals,” stated Omar Al Nasri, ADNOC Onshore CEO.
Supporting local manufacturers
Local manufacturers, including Al Gharbia Pipe Company and SeAH Steel UAE, will produce the steel pipes for ADNOC Onshore, further enhancing the local supply chain. Other UAE-based companies including FTV Proclad UAE, NMDC Energy, Bredero Shaw International, ArcelorMittal, and Hilong Petroleum Pipe Company will provide specialized services. Meanwhile, Arabian Fiber Optic Cable Manufacturing will supply the fiber optic cables integrated into the pipes to enable the digitalization of operations.
Further materials will be exclusively sourced in the UAE to support pipe installation, with Camtech supplying valves, Al Jazeera Bolts Industries providing fasteners, and Bin Sari Specialised Technologies delivering anti-corrosion products.
The employed UAE nationals will also undergo training by ENPPI at its project home office in Dubai South and headquarters in Cairo, Egypt.
“We are proud to support ADNOC’s vision to create lasting local value for the UAE as part of our projects across ADNOC Onshore’s fields. By sourcing key products locally and harnessing the expertise of skilled UAE Nationals, we will ensure that the UAE’s people and industries benefit as we carry out key EPC projects,” noted Wael Lotfy Moustafa, chairman and CEO of ENPPI.
