Adnoc Gas enters into three-year LNG supply agreement with Germany's SEFE
The agreement, valued at approximately $400 million (AED1.5 billion) over its three-year term, highlights ADNOC Gas' continued expansion into global markets, with LNG supplied from ADNOC Gas' Das Island liquefaction facility – a key asset in the company's portfolio.
With a production capacity of 6 mtpa, Das Island's LNG plant has shipped over 3,500 LNG cargoes worldwide since starting operations in 1977, strengthening ADNOC Gas' long-term relationships with key global energy partners.
Fatema Al Nuaimi, Chief Executive Officer of ADNOC Gas, said, 'This agreement marks a significant step in strengthening our long-standing partnership with SEFE and reinforces ADNOC Gas' role as a reliable and responsible global energy provider, committed to supporting Germany's energy security. It also reflects the strong progress we are making in delivering our strategic objectives and demonstrates the confidence our partners, investors, and stakeholders place in our ability to create long-term value in a dynamic energy landscape.'
The agreement builds on the ongoing strategic collaboration between the UAE and Germany, including the 2022 Energy Security and Industry Accelerator (ESIA) pact and the 2024 Joint Declaration with the state of Baden-Württemberg, both aimed at fostering energy security and sustainable fuel development.
Frédéric Barnaud, Chief Commercial Officer of SEFE, said, 'Over the past two decades, we've built a strong partnership with ADNOC, and we value our relationship with such a reputable and reliable supplier. This new medium-term LNG contract builds on the long-term supply agreement with ADNOC that we signed last year, thereby adding another flexible source of LNG to our portfolio – to the benefit of both Europe's security of supply and our global market trading activities.'
ADNOC Gas is a key player in ADNOC's strategy to enhance its natural gas production capacity and expand global LNG exports. As a crucial transitional fuel, natural gas offers lower carbon emissions compared to other fossil fuels and serves as an important raw material in industrial value chains.
SEFE is committed to ensuring energy security across Germany and Europe by expanding its international portfolio and strengthening its global partnerships. As part of this commitment, SEFE collaborates with leading LNG and natural gas producers around the world to ensure diversified and reliable energy sources for Germany and beyond.

UAE renewables firm Masdar swings to profit in 2024, triples assets
Abu Dhabi state-owned renewables company Masdar reported a 2024 profit of 412 million dirhams ($112.18 million) on Thursday, reversing a 44-million-dirham net loss recorded the previous year. The company's total assets more than tripled in the year ending December 31, reaching 59.8 billion dirhams, up from 18.2 billion dirhams in 2023. Masdar has been pursuing an ambitious global expansion strategy as it aims to grow its capacity to 100 gigawatts from 51 GW currently. It acquired full ownership of Greece's Terna Energy in April, and earlier this month committed 5.2 billion euros ($5.95 billion) alongside Spain's Iberdrola to a major UK offshore wind project. Masdar shares are held 43% by Abu Dhabi's state-controlled utility firm TAQA, 33% by sovereign wealth fund Mubadala and 24% by oil giant ADNOC.

ADNOC pilots Oxford Flow's groundbreaking emissions eliminating ES valve
Oxford, UK: Oxford Flow, the flow control equipment specialist, has initiated commercial trials of its ES stemless control valve with ADNOC. The pilot is a result of Oxford Flow's success as a finalist in ADNOC's inaugural Decarbonization Technology Challenge, held in collaboration with AWS, bp, Hub71 and Net Zero Technology Centre, in 2023. The ES valves are currently being piloted in live operating conditions at Upper Zakum and Das Island - key production fields with high operational and environmental expectations. The pilot, conducted in both onshore and offshore environments, aims to demonstrate the valve's ability to eliminate fugitive emissions while supporting ADNOC's ambitious decarbonisation targets. This pilot marks a significant step in Oxford Flow's expansion in the Middle East and reinforces the company's aim to partner with operators committed to real-world deployment of decarbonisation technologies. Working alongside ADNOC in live field conditions provides a powerful opportunity to demonstrate the commercial and environmental benefits of next-generation valve technology at scale. The ES valve is one of the only control valves proven through third-party testing to eliminate fugitive emissions. With no stem or external actuator, its compact design removes common failure points, reduces maintenance requirements and enables a significantly smaller footprint. This makes it simpler to install and service, more reliable in extreme environments, and well suited to high-performance applications across upstream and downstream operations - supporting operators to cut emissions without compromising on efficiency or durability. Neil Poxon, CEO at Oxford Flow, said: 'Receiving a commendation in ADNOC's Decarbonization Technology Challenge was a strong endorsement of the technology and its relevance to the industry's net zero ambitions. Leaking valves are a major, often overlooked, source of emissions. By replacing them, operators can make fast, material progress in decarbonising both onshore and offshore systems. It's a significant step forward to now see ADNOC piloting the ES valve in live operations.' The pilot follows growing international momentum for Oxford Flow's valve technology, which is already in use across multiple markets including North America. As operators face intensifying regulatory and stakeholder pressure to reduce emissions, the ES valve offers a scalable, ready-to-deploy solution - particularly in infrastructure that is otherwise costly or complex to decarbonise. About Oxford Flow Oxford Flow is a leading manufacturer of advanced valve technologies, known for precision and innovative design. We specialise in creating flow control equipment, particularly valves and regulators that are distinguished by a unique piston design. This design minimises moving parts, reducing maintenance needs and eliminating emissions, offers enhanced performance and reliability. Our product range includes gas and liquid regulators, actuated valves and ancillary products, each designed to provide superior performance, safety and durability. Oxford Flow's products leverage cutting-edge research and development to address common issues in valve technology such as leakage and component failure, thereby delivering cost-effective and efficient solutions globally.

Covestro sticks to ADNOC deal timeline as sales miss expectations
German chemicals maker Covestro missed second-quarter sales expectations on Thursday as U.S. trade policies weighed on prices, but expressed confidence its takeover by Abu Dhabi's ADNOC would be sealed this year despite an EU competition probe. Covestro, whose products include foam chemicals used in mattresses, car seats and insulation for buildings, said the prospect of U.S. higher tariffs had led to a huge oversupply of products to the market there, particularly from the Asia-Pacific region, which had then caused by a big drop in prices. The company's revenues fell 8.4% to 3.38 billion euros ($3.86 billion) in April-June, missing analysts' average estimate of 3.55 billion euros in a company-provided consensus. "At the moment, demand is too weak to absorb the partial oversupply," Chief Financial Officer Christian Baier told Reuters in an interview. Earlier this month, Covestro cut its full-year earnings forecast for the second time this year. It now sees earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation within a range of 700 million euros to 1.1 billion euros, down from a previously expected 1 billion euros to 1.4 billion euros. ADNOC EXPECTATIONS UNCHANGED Baier said Covestro's 14.7-billion-euro takeover by Abu Dhabi state oil giant ADNOC should be finalised in the second half of the year, despite European Union regulators saying on Monday that they had opened an investigation into potential market distortions from the deal due to foreign subsidies. "We are very confident that we will implement the transaction in the second half of the year," Baier said. At 0835 GMT, Covestro shares were up 0.5% at 60.56 euros. ADNOC struck the deal last October, marking its biggest ever acquisition and one of the largest foreign takeovers of an EU company by a Gulf state.
