EMSTEEL steel feeds 55 energy projects in 15 countries

Steel beams rolled in Abu Dhabi have gone into at least 55 major energy projects across 15 countries over 2025 and 2026, EMSTEEL Group said in a statement on Monday, November 9.

Over that two-year span, the group’s deliveries to the energy industry topped 170,000 tonnes. The projects lie in the GCC region, North America, Europe, South Asia and Africa.

Where the steel went

The heavy and jumbo sections serve as the frame for oil and gas facilities where output is produced, treated and stored, as well as for offshore platforms and wider industrial infrastructure, the company explained.

In the Gulf, customers included ADNOC, for work at the Hail & Ghasha and Zakum fields, and Saudi Aramco. Across the Atlantic, the material was shipped to Rio Grande LNG, Woodside Louisiana LNG and Port Arthur LNG, among other North American gas and industrial schemes.

EMSTEEL named Bechtel, Fluor, Técnicas Reunidas, NMDC Energy, Saipem and Kiewit as engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors it worked alongside on these sites.

Capacity and markets

Of the 3.5 million tonnes of steel the group can make each year, one million tonnes is capacity dedicated to heavy and jumbo sections at its Abu Dhabi plant. Its sales network covers more than 70 countries.

CEO on future priorities

Eng. Saeed Ghumran Al Remeithi, the group’s chief executive, said energy ranked among the strategic sectors EMSTEEL targets with specialised products. He added that national industry should do more than supply basic materials, and that investment in advanced manufacturing had made the company more competitive abroad.

“Looking ahead, our priority is to expand our presence in global energy supply chains by developing higher-value products and strengthening partnerships with international energy companies and EPC contractors,” he said.

AED 625 million upgrade

The company is running an Asset Enhancement Programme worth AED 625 million. It aims to lift efficiency in operations and broaden the advanced product range, notably the sections bought by energy firms and heavy industry.

New rolling equipment forms part of the plan, with heavy-section lines adopting Thermo-Mechanical Controlled Processing (TMCP) and Quenched and Self-Tempered (QST) technologies. EMSTEEL says these processes make the steel stronger, longer-lasting and better performing mechanically, fitting it for demanding infrastructure and energy builds.
