Kent has been awarded the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for the Khafji Desalter and Water Treatment Plant Upgrade (UDWT) Project by Al-Khafji Joint Operations (KJO). Delivered through close collaboration between our KSA and UK teams, this project will see around 150 Kent engineers design new desalter facilities and upgrade existing water treatment plants at Al-Khafji. By bringing together our global expertise and local knowledge, weâll help KJO enhance operational efficiency while supporting a lower-impact energy future. The project will enable the continued production of 300,000 barrels per day of sweet crude, improving reliability, capacity, and environmental performance, a step forward in building energy solutions that balance progress with responsibility.

In process safety, there are multiple areas that must work in tandem to ensure minimal risk in day-to-day operations. In his latest article, Conor Crowley reflects on the evolving role in modern operations. Using the familiar ritual of a HAZOP as his starting point, Conor explores how engineering insight, operational experience, and the silent record of plant data each tell a part of the safety story.

This year at ADIPEC, our experts will be sharing perspectives on some of the biggest opportunities and challenges shaping the energy industry today. From future fuels to complex project delivery, these sessions reflect our commitment to building a more sustainable energy system while helping clients navigate todayâs realities. We look forward to the conversations that will spark new ideas, collaborations, and solutions at this yearâs event. See our full schedule on our website.
This week, we marked a special milestone for our third-year graduates with a two-day event filled with learning, leadership, and connection in Dubai. From leadership sessions with our senior team to hands-on workshops and team-building activities, our graduates had the chance to reflect on their journey so far, share experiences with peers from across the world, and look ahead to the exciting careers theyâre shaping at Kent. The week wrapped up with a graduation dinner to celebrate their achievements and the strong community theyâve built along the way. At Kent, our Graduate Programme is designed to give young professionals the foundation to grow into the energy leaders of tomorrow. Through hands-on experience, world-class mentoring, and opportunities to work on major projects, weâre committed to nurturing the talent who will continue to drive our industry forward.

The way we generate and use energy is changing, and itâs opening the door to smarter, more resilient solutions. In his latest article, Howard Thomas explores how shifting from centralised to local energy systems can unlock efficiency, resilience and new opportunities. He examines the hidden assumptions in todayâs energy models, the role of digitalisation in enabling distributed power, and how businesses can move from paying for energy to earning from it. Read the full article to discover how a micro-scale approach could help shape a more sustainable energy future.
At Kent, we bring together top-tier AI and Digital Engineering expertise to tackle real-world energy challenges. Across the lifecycle of your asset, our AI and Digital solutions are helping to design, deliver and operate projects more safely, efficiently and sustainably. At the heart of this is Ennova AI, our digital platform that connects data across the project lifecycle, enabling smarter, faster and safer decisions that cut risk, boost efficiency and accelerate the energy transition. Weâre thrilled to be returning to the AI Zone at this yearâs Adipec Official Exhibition and Conference, following our debut last year. Curated with ADNOC, this immersive space showcases how intelligence, both human and artificial, is reshaping energy systems, empowering people and driving bold, cross-sector innovation. Find out more about our plans at this years' ADIPEC on our website.
đ§©đ Can the offshore wind industry learn from Lego? In this article, Jason Brown explores how standardisation and modular thinking could transform the way we deliver offshore wind. Just as Lego thrives on simplicity and repeatability, Jason suggests that offshore wind must embrace the same principles if we are to scale at the speed the energy transition demands. From cutting costs to reducing risk and unlocking investment, standardisation could be the key to moving faster and delivering more. At Kent, weâre working with developers worldwide to bring greater standardisation to foundation and substation design, FEED and detailed engineering, helping projects move faster, reduce risk and unlock investment. Curious how standardisation could reshape offshore wind and accelerate the energy transition? Discover Jasonâs vision for a âLego-likeâ future on our website.
Kent has been appointed by ACWA Power as Ownerâs Engineer for the Yanbu Green Hydrogen Hub in Saudi Arabia. Our team will act as ACWA Powerâs technical representative throughout the front-end engineering design phase. Weâll provide independent oversight and assurance to support safe, efficient and technically robust project delivery; ensuring engineering design compliance, reviewing safety and constructability, managing technical interfaces, and advising on risk and design optimisation. Set to become one of the largest green hydrogen and ammonia facilities in the world, the Yanbu hub will deliver up to 400,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually. This project is a centrepiece of Saudi Arabiaâs clean energy strategy and a major step in enabling large-scale green fuel exports to international markets.
The energy transition needs bold leaders. At ADIPEC 2025, Kent is ready to talk about how weâre helping shape the next generation that will continue shaping the future of energy. This year, talent and leadership are once again part of our line-up of big conversations. Our CEO John Gilley will join the panel âTransforming energy through leadership developmentâ to explore how inclusive leadership and mentoring are key to building resilience in a rapidly evolving energy sector. At Kent, weâre passionate about developing future leaders, people who will drive the energy transition with responsibility, innovation, and impact.
