The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) is the state-owned enterprise in charge of Abu Dhabi’s oil and gas reserves.
The company has earned itself a reputation within the oil & gas industry over the past few years as being one of the few national oil companies (NOCs) that strikes the right balance between fulfilling its responsibilities to both the public and private sector.
Becoming fully nationalised in 1971, ADNOC has grown exponentially since, investing heavily across the whole hydrocarbons sector. The company now has 11 subsidiary companies that work across the whole hydrocarbons industry from upstream through to transportation, refining and petrochemicals.
