Adnoc's Hail and Ghasha offshore gas mega-project achieves ‘sail-out' milestone
The structures – called steel 'jackets' – form the foundation of the project's offshore facilities. Delivered on schedule and in line with the highest safety and quality standards, the first 2 jackets were transferred from the fabrication yard to the cargo barge and shipped 160 kilometres offshore for installation by NMDC's Safeen-3000 vessel where they were precisely positioned on the seabed.
This achievement reflects the exceptional coordination and expertise of dedicated project teams and partners, ensuring the structure's secure anchoring and readiness for the next stage of offshore infrastructure assembly.
The Hail and Ghasha Development Project is the world's largest gas development of its kind and an important enabler of gas self-sufficiency and the UAE's growing gas exports.
The Concession will produce 1.5 billion standard cubic feet of natural gas per day – enough to meet the daily gas demand of Ireland, Greece and Portugal combined. It aims to operate with net-zero emissions, capturing 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 annually, equivalent to removing over 300,000 fossil fuel powered cars off the road.
Musabbeh Al Kaabi, ADNOC Upstream CEO, said, 'ADNOC's Hail and Ghasha project is an important enabler of UAE gas self-sufficiency, and this sail-out puts us one step closer to delivering on the project. The mega-project is being Made in the Emirates, driving industrial growth and reinforcing the UAE's advanced manufacturing capabilities.'
Hail and Ghasha embodies the ethos of the 'Make it in the Emirates' initiative and ADNOC's success in boosting In-Country Value, by prioritising local manufacturing, investing in UAE-based suppliers, supporting economic diversification and nurturing local talent.
With 118 UAE graduates recruited across the project to date, this provides highly skilled career opportunities for UAE nationals to play a key role in delivering this world-scale project.

Property Finder launches PF Market Pulse and reveals 72% of UAE home seekers and Sellers Plan to buy within six months
This new bi-monthly consumer sentiment survey captures real-time insights from active home buyers and sellers and reveals strong market momentum Reinforces Property Finder's position as the market leader not only in data and reach, but in understanding its audiences through real-time, intelligence-led insights. United Arab Emirates: Property Finder, MENA's leading property portal, has launched PF Market Pulse, a bi-monthly consumer sentiment survey that captures real-time insights into buyer and seller behaviour and market expectations across the UAE's property landscape. Property Finder leverages its position as the most visited and trusted real estate platform in the region to take the pulse of the market. Through targeted questions high-intent users provide valuable insights into their perceptions of the property landscape. Users actively browsing listings are first asked: 'Are you planning to buy a property in the next 6 months?' Those who respond positively are then presented with a follow-up multiple-choice question: 'How do you expect property prices to change in the next 6 months?' PF Market Pulse reveals a strong and steady appetite for property ownership in the region, reinforcing the momentum and confidence in the real estate market. Nearly three in four respondents (72%) in May indicated plans to purchase property within six months. This momentum continued into June, with 69% maintaining buying intent, signalling consistent underlying demand to buy. At the same time, expectations around pricing evolved. In May 2025, buyers were fairly divided: 37% believed prices would decrease, 34% expected increases, and 29% anticipated stability. By June, more buyers began to anticipate a cooling in the market, with 44% expecting a price drop, 30% expecting increases, and 26% expecting prices to remain stable. This shift suggests a growing perception that recent price surges may be easing, a sign of a more mature, considered view among home seekers and buyers as the market continues to evolve. With over 13,000 unique respondents participating in the inaugural survey period, the data offers unprecedented insight into the mindset of home seekers - buyers and sellers - who are actively tracking market trends, pricing cycles, and supply shifts.
