ADNOC Gas signs LNG supply deal with Hindustan Petroleum
Adnoc Gas and its subsidiaries, a world-class integrated gas processing and sales company, has signed a Heads of Agreement with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) to supply 0.5 million metric tonnes per annum (mmtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for a 10-year term. The agreement underscores Adnoc Gas' expanded global footprint, particularly across the high-demand Asian LNG market, reinforcing its role as a reliable global supplier of LNG. The long-term contract strengthens Adnoc Gas' partnership with key Indian players as it continues to support India's energy security, building on recent agreements with Indian Oil Corporation and GAIL India Limited. Fatema Al Nuaimi, Chief Executive Officer of Adnoc Gas, said: 'This long-term agreement with HPCL, our third with Indian companies in the past year, reflects the robust energy partnership between the UAE and India. This milestone underscores Adnoc Gas' ability to reliably meet rising global demand for LNG and support India's ambition to increase natural gas to 15% of its primary energy mix by 2030.' The LNG will be supplied from Adnoc Gas' Das Island liquefaction facility, which has a production capacity of 6 mmtpa. As the world's third longest-operating LNG plant, Das Island has shipped over 3,500 LNG cargoes worldwide since starting operations. 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, the company said. - TradeArabia News Service Copyright 2025 Al Hilal Publishing and Marketing Group Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.

Dubai Aerospace Enterprise records $843.6mln revenue for H1
Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) has reported its financial results for the first half of 2025, with total revenue reaching $843.6 million—an increase from $679.2 million during the same period last year. The company's profit before tax surged to $506.8 million, a substantial rise from $154.3 million, while operating cash flow improved to $659.0 million, compared to $612.4 million in 2024. The adjusted pre-tax profit margin increased to 25.7 per cent, up from 22.7 per cent, and the adjusted pre-tax return on equity rose to 13.3 per cent, up from 11.0 per cent. As of June 30, 2025, the company reported total assets of $16 billion, an increase from $13 billion at the end of 2024. This growth in revenue and profitability reflects additional income from acquired businesses, along with significant savings achieved through debt refinancing and the elimination of duplicative expenses. DAE emphasised that its capital adequacy, funding, and liquidity metrics remain very strong. DAE Engineering continued its strong performance, with Joramco's revenue increasing by 26 per cent to $119 million, and profitability rising by 80 per cent to $39.1 million in the first half of 2025. Firoz Tarapore, Chief Executive Officer of DAE, stated, 'We completed the acquisition of Nordic Aviation Capital on May 07, 2025. This acquisition increased our owned, managed and committed fleet by nearly 50 per cent to approximately 750 aircraft. We have fully integrated the front office functions and are on track to fully integrate all middle- and back-office functions and systems by the end of this quarter." -TradeArabia News Service Copyright 2025 Al Hilal Publishing and Marketing Group Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.
