ADNOC Gas is evaluating alternative supply routes to reduce dependence on the Strait of Hormuz following regional maritime disruptions, according to Business Upturn. Chief Executive Officer Fatema Al Nuaimi stated that the company needs to de-risk its operations, though it has not taken any final investment or routing decisions.
Chief Financial Officer Peter van Driel separately stated that ADNOC Gas is assessing several potential options on the eastern coast of the United Arab Emirates outside the Strait of Hormuz. The company has not publicly confirmed specific locations, project parameters, costs, or timelines.
ADNOC Gas supplies approximately 60 percent of the UAE's sales-gas demand and serves buyers in more than 20 countries. Leadership has emphasized that delivery resilience and logistics are critical to operational security under current shipping conditions.
Alongside route evaluations, the company is continuing domestic capacity programmes. These include the Rich Gas Development initiative to boost processing capacity and domestic availability, as well as the Estidama project to expand its pipeline network from 3,200 kilometres to over 3,500 kilometres.
