Marketing

Overview

ADNOC Gas is strategically situated to serve international markets and has a reputation as a reliable and competitive supplier.

We sell our gas products under a variety of contractual arrangements, from the long-term contracts in place for our UAE gas consumers and our core international LNG customers, to shorter term arrangements and spot sales in a number of product categories. Our scale and rich gas feedstock allow us flexibility in our product mix to respond quickly to market demands.

In the international LNG market, we were industry pioneers. We have strong relationships that have continued since our initial market entry 45 years ago and have built a reputation as a reliable and customer-centric supplier. In recent years we have diversified our customer base, taking opportunities in new markets as they emerge. Most recently we have established ourselves in Europe, with the first landmark delivery of LNG to Germany.

We also export a range of other products including LPG, which is shipped to a variety of Asian markets, and sulfur sent to Morocco, India, China, Jordan and beyond.

Our location in the East-West trade corridor provides ready access and exposure to the fast-growing markets of Asia. We currently export to more than 20 countries and anticipate continuing our international growth as we expand our processing and export capacity, and demand for gas and gas products continues to rise.
