ABU DHABI, January 17, 2021
Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), the UAE's biggest energy producer -- has merged its downstream business with its trading and marketing operations to create the Downstream Industry, Marketing & Trading Directorate.
The new unit "will be a critical enabler of the company's goal to responsibly deliver the energy and energy products that the world needs, particularly in its core Asian market, where demand for refined and petrochemical products are set to grow over the next 10 years," said S&P Global Platts, citing an Adnoc statement said.
In 2018, Adnoc announced plans to invest $45 billion with partners to develop its local downstream activities, including the expansion of its Ruwais refinery and petrochemical capacity in the industrial hub.
