Adnoc Gas expects robust long-term structured demand growth for natural gas, despite the current lower price environment dragging its first-half profit down.
The company, the integrated gas processing unit of Adnoc, reported an annual 12 per cent drop in net profit for the six months to the end of June to $2.25 billion, it said in a filing to the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, where its shares are traded.
First-half revenue fell to $10.62 billion from $13.28 billion a year earlier.
The company said it maintained stable margins in a lower price environment and it is on track to meet its 2023 guidance.
The January-June period earnings reflect the “resilience and robustness” of the company’s business in the lower price environment compared to the higher prices witnessed in the same period last year, said Ahmed Alebri, chief executive of Adnoc Gas.
“This performance demonstrates the strength of our business, which was also supported by selling more high-margin export liquids – a strategy that has proven effective,” he said.
Adnoc Gas said it maintained high reliability with a 98.9 per cent average across its facilities in the first half of the year, contributing to a 15 per cent quarterly increase in production volumes in the last quarter.
Competition for liquefied natural gas has increased since Russia's invasion of Ukraine last year, with Europe importing record volumes of the supercooled fuel to replace Moscow's gas supplies.
Global LNG trade hit a high of $450 billion in 2022 amid a surge in European demand, according to the International Energy Agency.
To adapt to lower liquefied petroleum gas and brent crude oil prices in the first half of the year, Adnoc Gas said it shifted towards higher-margin export liquids and focused on increased efficiency.
These measures enabled the company to maintain a flat earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation of $1.8 billion and net income of $1 billion in the April-June period.
“We continue to witness long-term structural demand growth for natural gas as a critical fuel for the responsible global energy transition,” Mr Alebri said.
“Our recent signing of significant long-term LNG agreements and our domestic investments demonstrate that we remain ideally positioned to meet both local and international demand, while further decarbonising our operations in line with the UAE’s Net-Zero 2050 ambition.”
Net income in the second quarter of the year fell 29 per cent on an annual basis to $1 billion, while revenue dropped to $5.4 billion, from $7.1 billion in the same period last year.
Adnoc Gas maintained its dividend target of $1.62 billion in the fourth quarter of 2023 and a further $1.62 billion dividend in the second quarter of 2024.
The company expects to grow the annual target dividend amount by 5 per cent per annum on a per-share basis over the 2024-2027 period, it said.
As part of its strategic growth plans and entry into the international gas market, Adnoc Gas on Friday said it would acquire a 30 per cent equity stake in Azerbaijan's Absheron gas and condensate field in the Caspian Sea.
Under the agreement, Azerbaijan's state oil company Socar and France's TotalEnergies will each hold a 35 per cent stake in the gasfield.
The company has also signed a three-year supply agreement with TotalEnergies Gas and Power, a subsidiary of France’s TotalEnergies, for the export of LNG as demand for less polluting fuel picks up globally amid decarbonisation efforts.
Last month, Adnoc Gas announced a 14-year supply agreement valued at between $7 billion and $9 billion with Indian Oil Corporation Limited, the South Asian country’s largest refiner. The agreement will Adnoc Gas supplying up to 1.2 million metric tonnes per annum of LNG to the Indian company.
Adnoc Gas has access to 95 per cent of the UAE's natural gas reserves, estimated to be the seventh largest globally.
It also supplies more than 60 per cent of the UAE's gas needs.

One in nine do not have enough to eat
Created in 1961, the World Food Programme is pledged to fight hunger worldwide as well as providing emergency food assistance in a crisis.
One of the organisation’s goals is the Zero Hunger Pledge, adopted by the international community in 2015 as one of the 17 Sustainable Goals for Sustainable Development, to end world hunger by 2030.
The WFP, a branch of the United Nations, is funded by voluntary donations from governments, businesses and private donations.
Almost two thirds of its operations currently take place in conflict zones, where it is calculated that people are more than three times likely to suffer from malnutrition than in peaceful countries.
It is currently estimated that one in nine people globally do not have enough to eat.
On any one day, the WFP estimates that it has 5,000 lorries, 20 ships and 70 aircraft on the move.
Outside emergencies, the WFP provides school meals to up to 25 million children in 63 countries, while working with communities to improve nutrition. Where possible, it buys supplies from developing countries to cut down transport cost and boost local economies.

Mercer, the investment consulting arm of US services company Marsh & McLennan, expects its wealth division to at least double its assets under management (AUM) in the Middle East as wealth in the region continues to grow despite economic headwinds, a company official said.
Mercer Wealth, which globally has $160 billion in AUM, plans to boost its AUM in the region to $2-$3bn in the next 2-3 years from the present $1bn, said Yasir AbuShaban, a Dubai-based principal with Mercer Wealth.
“Within the next two to three years, we are looking at reaching $2 to $3 billion as a conservative estimate and we do see an opportunity to do so,” said Mr AbuShaban.
Mercer does not directly make investments, but allocates clients’ money they have discretion to, to professional asset managers. They also provide advice to clients.
“We have buying power. We can negotiate on their (client’s) behalf with asset managers to provide them lower fees than they otherwise would have to get on their own,” he added.
Mercer Wealth’s clients include sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and insurance companies among others.
From its office in Dubai, Mercer also looks after Africa, India and Turkey, where they also see opportunity for growth.
Wealth creation in Middle East and Africa (MEA) grew 8.5 per cent to $8.1 trillion last year from $7.5tn in 2015, higher than last year’s global average of 6 per cent and the second-highest growth in a region after Asia-Pacific which grew 9.9 per cent, according to consultancy Boston Consulting Group (BCG). In the region, where wealth grew just 1.9 per cent in 2015 compared with 2014, a pickup in oil prices has helped in wealth generation.
BCG is forecasting MEA wealth will rise to $12tn by 2021, growing at an annual average of 8 per cent.
Drivers of wealth generation in the region will be split evenly between new wealth creation and growth of performance of existing assets, according to BCG.
Another general trend in the region is clients’ looking for a comprehensive approach to investing, according to Mr AbuShaban.
“Institutional investors or some of the families are seeing a slowdown in the available capital they have to invest and in that sense they are looking at optimizing the way they manage their portfolios and making sure they are not investing haphazardly and different parts of their investment are working together,” said Mr AbuShaban.
Some clients also have a higher appetite for risk, given the low interest-rate environment that does not provide enough yield for some institutional investors. These clients are keen to invest in illiquid assets, such as private equity and infrastructure.
“What we have seen is a desire for higher returns in what has been a low-return environment specifically in various fixed income or bonds,” he said.
“In this environment, we have seen a de facto increase in the risk that clients are taking in things like illiquid investments, private equity investments, infrastructure and private debt, those kind of investments were higher illiquidity results in incrementally higher returns.”
The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the largest sovereign wealth funds, said in its 2016 report that has gradually increased its exposure in direct private equity and private credit transactions, mainly in Asian markets and especially in China and India. The authority’s private equity department focused on structured equities owing to “their defensive characteristics.”

Key figures in the life of the fort
Sheikh Dhiyab bin Isa (ruled 1761-1793) Built Qasr Al Hosn as a watchtower to guard over the only freshwater well on Abu Dhabi island.
Sheikh Shakhbut bin Dhiyab (ruled 1793-1816) Expanded the tower into a small fort and transferred his ruling place of residence from Liwa Oasis to the fort on the island.
Sheikh Tahnoon bin Shakhbut (ruled 1818-1833) Expanded Qasr Al Hosn further as Abu Dhabi grew from a small village of palm huts to a town of more than 5,000 inhabitants.
Sheikh Khalifa bin Shakhbut (ruled 1833-1845) Repaired and fortified the fort.
Sheikh Saeed bin Tahnoon (ruled 1845-1855) Turned Qasr Al Hosn into a strong two-storied structure.
Sheikh Zayed bin Khalifa (ruled 1855-1909) Expanded Qasr Al Hosn further to reflect the emirate's increasing prominence.
Sheikh Shakhbut bin Sultan (ruled 1928-1966) Renovated and enlarged Qasr Al Hosn, adding a decorative arch and two new villas.
Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan (ruled 1966-2004) Moved the royal residence to Al Manhal palace and kept his diwan at Qasr Al Hosn.
