What National Petroleum Construction Company does

NMDC Energy, formerly National Petroleum Construction Company (NPCC), is an integrated EPC contractor headquartered in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi, delivering engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning services for offshore and onshore oil, gas, and broader energy infrastructure. Founded in 1973 by ADNOC and CCC, the company operates the Middle East's largest fabrication yard (1.3 million sqm in Abu Dhabi plus a 400,000 sqm yard in Ras Al Khair, Saudi Arabia) and a fleet of 22 marine vessels capable of lifting structures up to 4,200 tons and installing subsea pipelines from 10m to 2,000m depth. Its technical stack is augmented by Industry 4.0 digital assets including Digital Twin Technology, Connected Workers wearables, AI-powered Site Safety Analyzers, Augmented Reality planning tools, and Remote Operating Vehicles.

The company generates revenue almost entirely through negotiated multi-year EPC contracts with national oil companies, international oil majors, and state utilities, with pricing structured around project scope, complexity, materials and ADNOC In-Country Value (40% local sourcing) requirements. It serves as prime contractor on flagship ADNOC projects (Umm Shaif LTDP, Lower Zakum, Nasr, Umm Lulu, Hail & Ghasha with Saipem, ADNOC Gas Estidama pipeline program) and increasingly secures cross-border awards from Saudi Aramco, Petronas (Kasawari CCS FEED), ONGC, Maersk Oil Qatar, and Taiwan Power Company ($1.136 billion subsea pipeline). Revenue grew from AED 10.68 billion in 2022 to AED 18.7 billion (~$5.09 billion) in 2025, with international markets contributing 30% of revenue and a closing backlog of AED 40.1 billion plus an AED 58.6 billion pipeline. Following its September 2024 IPO on ADX (ticker NMDCENR), NMDC Group retains ~77% ownership; the company employs 10,000+ staff including 1,500+ engineers.
