ADNOC Distribution opened 12 new stations in the UAE in the first half of the year and also acquired 35 stations in Saudi Arabia.
In May 2021, ADNOC announced it placed approximately 375 million shares in ADNOC Distribution, representing an additional approximate 3 percent of the registered share capital of the company. The deal accounted for over half of the equity capital market activity in the Middle East and North Africa in the first half of 2021.
In July, the oil company invested over $760 million across three contracts as it plans to boost its production capacity to 5 million barrels per day by 2030.
ADNOC has invested $763.7m (AED2.8 billion) in integrated rigless services across six of its artificial islands in the Upper Zakum and Satah Al Razboot (SARB) fields. ADNOC Offshore awarded three contracts to Schlumberger, ADNOC Drilling, and Halliburton following a tender process.
Over 80 percent of the total award value will flow back into the UAE’s economy under ADNOC’s In-Country Value (ICV) programme over the five-year duration of the contracts.
