Gas, he said, would be “a critical fuel in the energy transition and Adnoc Gas, through its world-scale operations and significant growth and expansion plans, will be well-positioned to meet both local and international gas demand”.
Adnoc has the goal of being the world’s lowest-cost oil producer of choice. Unlike some of its IOC competitors, struggling to come to terms with the demands of meeting today’s energy needs and tomorrow’s transition, it is willing to put the money in.
The lack of fungibility of the gas market is set to pose a major challenge for Europe in the near term, the heads of Saudi Aramco and Shell agreed today.
Gazprom signed a deal in July to help National Iranian Oil Co. (NIOC) develop Iranian projects, but Rystad Energy has warned Russia lacks the required metallurgical supplies.
Saudi Aramco closed a deal to sell a stake in its natural-gas pipelines for $15.5 billion and entered into a pact with BlackRock Inc. to explore low carbon energy projects.
Egypt and Israel are working on plans to expand the East Mediterranean Gas Forum (EMGF) into energy security, electricity infrastructure and emissions controls.
The Suez Canal Authority (SCA) has denied that the reopening of the Eilat-Ashkelon pipeline would have an impact on flows through the Egyptian waterway.
Adnoc, Saudi Aramco Technologies Co. (SATC) and TWI opened a laboratory in November dedicated to non-metallic applications in the oil and gas industry.
Russia will remain the heart of Severstal’s focus for the near term, but uncertainty around the timing of a contract with Gazprom has encouraged international growth.
