ADNOC Gas: FY2023 performance exceeds expectations

For FY2023, ADNOC Gas’ robust performance continued, with net income reaching $4.72bn, significantly exceeding market expectations.

The company attributed this success to its focus on efficiency improvements, increasing higher-margin liquids and strategic investments.

“ADNOC Gas delivered a strong set of results in 2023, overcoming a challenging first half,” said Dr Ahmed Alebri, CEO of ADNOC Gas.

He said the company maintained strong margins throughout the commodity cycle, invested $4.9bn in EPC contracts for capacity expansion, and secured new LNG supply agreements worth $9-12bn, “capitalising on the growing global demand for LNG as a transitional fuel”.

“I am pleased to report that our strong performance across the entire business enabled us to exceed our 2023 targets as per our guidance to the market,” he added.
