From the abundant gas reservoirs under the Middle East desert to the power plants and industrial loads in coastal cities in Southeast Asia, an invisible blue energy chain is stretching. Abu Dhabi and Thai energy companies have once again joined hands to enable liquefied natural gas to cross borders and provide stable gas for sustained growth in Asia.

Reached a new gas supply agreement

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company of the United Arab Emirates and Gulf Group, a well-known energy infrastructure company in Thailand, have successfully signed a multi-year liquefied natural gas purchase and sale agreement. According to the agreement, starting from 2027, ADNOC will continue to supply the company with approximately 2 million tons of liquefied natural gas annually.

Deepen energy cooperation in Asia

This signing is a further continuation of the energy cooperation between the two parties, and the LNG cooperation between the two companies began with the first supply contract signed in 2025. The new agreement is fully responsible for performance and delivery by ADNOC Trading Company. The duration of the cooperation agreement and other business details have not been announced to the public yet. The liquefied natural gas in this transaction will mainly be launched in the Asian market, which is also an important layout for ADNOC's trading sector to deepen its direct supply business in Asia and expand its energy market in Asia.

Highlight the strength of energy supply

Nasser Al Muhai, CEO of ADNOC's Downstream Industries, Marketing, and Trade Agency, stated that the new agreement is an upgraded extension of the first LNG supply contract between the two parties, fully demonstrating the firm commitment of the company to providing stable energy security for the Thai and Asian markets. This cooperation is an important breakthrough in ADNOC's global LNG trade layout, which can further expand the scale of LNG supply, enhance business flexibility, and accurately adapt to the growing global demand for natural gas consumption.

This cooperation is based on ADNOC's new LNG marketing and trading platform. The platform will be launched on the global market in Abu Dhabi in July 2026, integrating LNG marketing and trade business, building an integrated operation system, enhancing sales and shipping scheduling capabilities, and connecting with global customers.

According to ADNOC's plan, its export LNG production capacity can reach 47 million tons per year after 2030. With the expansion of production capacity, the platform will be responsible for the management and optimization of larger scale LNG assets. In the past four years, ADNOC's trading sector has continued to expand globally, building third-party LNG resource pools, establishing branches in Singapore, Geneva, and Abu Dhabi, continuously improving the global LNG trading network, and steadily advancing overseas market expansion.Editor/Gong Ziwei
