The project is scheduled to become operational in 2027.
The UAE is set to accelerate the delivery of the new West–East Pipeline project, which will double ADNOC’s export capacity through Fujairah.
The pipeline is currently under construction and is expected to become operational in 2027.
The decision was taken after Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, chaired a meeting of the executive committee of the ADNOC board of directors at the company’s headquarters in Abu Dhabi.
During the meeting, Sheikh Khaled commended ADNOC for its resilience in maintaining safe operations while continuing to reliably supply energy to local and international customers.
He also directed ADNOC to accelerate delivery of the project, as the company enters a new phase of large-scale project execution to meet growing global energy demand.
Other projects
The executive committee reviewed progress on developing the TA’ZIZ Phase 1 chemicals ecosystem in Al Ruwais Industrial City, Al Dhafra Region, highlighting its role in creating new domestic value chains.
Sheikh Khaled welcomed the long-term offtake and feedstock agreements announced at Make it in the Emirates 2026, as well as the company’s partnership with Alpha Dhabi on a feasibility study to produce up to 14 industrial chemicals in the UAE. These materials are widely used across construction, automotive, packaging, and consumer goods sectors.
The TA’ZIZ chemicals ecosystem is expected to produce 4.7 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of industrial chemicals by the end of 2028, positioning it as one of the largest integrated chemical platforms in the Gulf region.
Sheikh Khaled also reaffirmed the importance of ADNOC’s In-Country Value (ICV) programme in driving growth and supporting local businesses and manufacturers, and directed the company to prioritise “Made in the Emirates” products across its projects and operations.
