Earlier this year, ADNOC formed ADNOC Gas as a new entity responsible for natural gas processing, operations, and marketing. It brought together the operations, maintenance, and marketing of ADNOC Gas Processing and ADNOC LNG businesses into one consolidated business.
In line with its plans to meet the increasing global demand for natural gas, ADNOC intends to more than double its LNG production capacity through its planned LNG growth project, including the construction of its second LNG facility in Al Ruwais Industrial City, Al Dhafrah.
On the other hand, India has ambitious plans to expand the share of gas in its energy mix from the current 6-7% to 15% by the year 2030. This strategic move aims to diversify its energy sources and embrace cleaner fuel options, including LNG, as part of the country's energy transition efforts.
