ADNOC is adopting more creative strategies: Group CEO

"This historic and strategic move cements the UAE, Abu Dhabi and Adnoc's role in the international oil and gas sector."

Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of State and Adnoc Group CEO, has said that support of the UAE's leadership is enabling Adnoc to accelerate the pace of its ongoing transformation into a more commercially-driven and customer-focused integrated energy company with global reach.
Speaking following the Supreme Petroleum Council, SPC, meeting, Dr. Al Jaber, said, "Following the leadership's wise directives, Adnoc is adopting more creative strategies and more flexible business models, while shaping value-add partnership opportunities to remain resilient and meet operational and financial targets in today's unpredictable energy markets, as we deliver our 2030 strategy."
Commenting on the SPC's decision to list Adnoc's Murban crude on an exchange, Dr. Al Jaber said, "The forward-looking decision and market-orientated foresight of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, and the SPC, to list Murban on an internationally recognised exchange and improve the terms of sale of Adnoc's Murban Crude, is another significant step in our transformation. The initiative will enable our customers and other market participants to better price, manage and trade their purchases of Murban. This historic and strategic move cements the UAE, Abu Dhabi and Adnoc's role in the international oil and gas sector.
He noted, "Murban is recognised the world over for its intrinsic chemical qualities, consistent and stable production volumes, large number of international buyers, and numerous long-term concession and production partners. These landmark changes, the SPC has approved, will make Murban an even more attractive crude to the global market."
Speaking about the increase in hydrocarbon reserves, Dr. Al Jaber said, "We are very pleased and honoured to have enabled the UAE to move from the seventh to the sixth-largest oil and gas reserves in both global rankings. These achievements underscore Adnoc's drive to ensure we remain a trusted, reliable and responsible supplier of energy to the world for decades to come. Crucially, the discovery of substantial unconventional recoverable gas resources, for the first time, marks an important milestone in the development of the UAE's unconventional resources as we execute our integrated gas strategy."
He added, "The significant discoveries and increase in reserves increase are testament to the hard work, innovation, and dedication of the Adnoc family who are ensuring that we continue to thrive and stay ahead of the world's growing demand for energy. Building on this success, we are expanding our strategic partnerships and leveraging state-of-the-art technologies and world-class expertise to efficiently expedite further exploration of Abu Dhabi's huge untapped resources while also driving new commercial opportunities, for the benefit of the UAE."
