Project Lightning –1-pager-overview

• Abu Dhabi use artificial production islands near oil wells (“clusters”).
• Oil production currently powered by sour-gas gas turbines
• Sour gas turbines aggressive to environment and equipment, high
maintenance and high cost
• Currently naturally flowing wells, but pressure is decreasing and ADNOC are
planning to implement compression units which adds significant load.
• Power from Shore by HVDC selected
• using primarily nuclear power from the nearby newly commissioned
Barakah nuclear plant delivered largely by KEPCO.
• More sustainable and much lower cost than to continue use island based
gas turbines and add/replace turbines.
• Required for ADNOC to reach their targets on emissions (e.g. reduction
of emissions by 25% by 2030).
• More links are required in the future to meet ADNOCs targets.
• First HVDC project in the region, and for both ADNOC and Samsung

• Contract signed December 22:nd 2021.
