ADNOC Gas plc (ADNOC Gas), a world-class integrated gas processing company, announced a 14-year supply agreement with Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) for the export of up to 1.2 million metric tonnes per annum (mmtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to India’s largest integrated and diversified energy company.
The agreement, valued in the range of US$7 billion to US$9 billion (AED25.7 to AED33 billion) over its 14-year term, signifies a major step forward in the partnership between the two industry leaders.
The landmark deal marks another significant milestone for ADNOC Gas as it expands its global reach, reinforcing its position as a global LNG export partner of choice, and reaffirming IOCL as its key strategic partner in the LNG market.
Commenting on the agreement, Ahmed Alebri, Chief Executive Officer of ADNOC Gas, said, “We are pleased to announce this long-term LNG sale, further strengthening the long-standing partnership with IOCL. We look forward to expanding our collaboration and take pride in the knowledge that ADNOC Gas’ LNG exports will further support the development of IOCL and contribute to India’s growth story.”
Under the terms of the agreement, ADNOC Gas will deliver up-to 1.2 mmtpa of LNG to IOCL in India. The deal serves as a testament to ADNOC Gas’ ability to meet the growing global demand for LNG, a critical fuel in the energy transition.
Earlier this month, ADNOC Gas plc announced the award of $1.34 billion in contracts to Petrofac Emirates LLC and the Consortium between National Petroleum Construction Co. PJSC and C.A.T International Ltd. for the expansion of its natural gas pipeline network.
Under the sales gas pipeline network enhancement (ESTIDAMA) programme, the new pipeline will extend ADNOC Gas’ existing pipeline network from approximately 3,200 kilometres (km) to over 3,500km, enabling the transportation of higher volumes of natural gas to customers in the Northern emirates of the UAE.
This strategic pipeline extension will drive further growth for ADNOC Gas as it continues to supply sustainable gas supplies in the UAE to support the company’s strategy to increase its market share and enhance its customer base.
