ABU DHABI, UAE –Abu Dhabi is taking steps that should result in increased production of natural gas from its offshore fields.

State-run Abu Dhabi Gas Industries Co. (GASCO) and Abu Dhabi Gas Liquefaction Co. (ADGAS) have awarded about $1.6 billion worth of contracts to develop and expand facilities to boost gas transfer from offshore to onshore as part of the UAE’s plans to meet increasing local demand.
