Source basis

ADNOC's company page establishes the group's Abu Dhabi Government ownership, while the project page identifies Ruwais LNG as an ADNOC development. The Petroleum Ports Authority separately sets the regulatory and navigational framework for Jebel Dhanna-Ruwais; its nautical-services rules name IRSHAD as port operator. NMDC Group's award covers access-channel dredging and navigation aids. The Technip Energies, JGC and NMDC Energy joint venture holds the separate plant EPC package. LNG sales agreements support commercial development but do not prove channel acceptance, berth handover or marine operating readiness. Those gates still require accepted hydrography, final quantities and disposal records, commissioned aids to navigation and the relevant port approvals.
