About ADNOC
The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) is the national energy company of Abu Dhabi and one of the largest energy producers in the world. Founded in 1971, the year the UAE was formed, it manages the emirate's vast oil and gas resources.
ADNOC's operations cover the full energy value chain. Upstream, it explores for and produces crude oil and natural gas from onshore and offshore fields. Downstream, it refines oil, processes gas, produces petrochemicals and fertilisers, and distributes fuels.
Several ADNOC businesses are listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, including ADNOC Distribution, which operates fuel stations and convenience stores across the UAE, ADNOC Drilling, ADNOC Gas and ADNOC Logistics & Services. These listings have brought investors into parts of the group.
Fuel stations are the part of ADNOC most residents see every day. ADNOC Distribution runs hundreds of service stations with convenience stores, car washes and electric vehicle charging points.
The company has invested in lower-carbon energy, including carbon capture, hydrogen and renewable energy partnerships. It is a shareholder in Masdar, the clean energy company, and has set targets to reduce the carbon intensity of its operations.
Digital technology is used extensively, from AI and data analytics to monitor operations and optimise production, to digital services for customers.
ADNOC's international activities have expanded through investments and partnerships in energy and chemicals around the world, including through its international investment arm.
Oil and gas remain central to Abu Dhabi's economy, even as the UAE diversifies into tourism, finance, technology and other sectors.
ADNOC is a national energy company rather than a startup, and Startups UAE includes it because of its scale and influence on the UAE economy.
