At the plenary session of the 30th anniversary International Conference "Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan – OGT 2025," Abdullah Al Shamsi, Business Development Director of XRG (ADNOC), spoke. The representative of the major energy company from the UAE emphasized the strategic importance of Turkmenistan for ADNOC’s global gas portfolio and announced the company’s long-term plans in the country.
Al Shamsi noted that the world needs reliable low-carbon energy, and natural gas plays a central role in this. For this reason, ADNOC is investing in building a large integrated gas portfolio, in which Turkmenistan holds a key position.
As an important step in strengthening its presence in Central Asia, Al Shamsi mentioned the signing earlier this year of a strategic concession agreement for Offshore Block I in the Caspian Sea. The agreement was made jointly with PETRONAS, Turkmengaz, and Türkmennebit. Block I currently produces about 400 million cubic feet of natural gas per day.
Confirming ADNOC’s long-term commitments, the company representative proudly announced the opening of the new XRG office in Ashgabat. According to him, this marks an important milestone and reflects the company’s commitment to Turkmenistan’s energy future.
