Company
Overview
Founded in 1971
Year Established
The company traces its origins back to 1971, marking its journey from a national oil firm to a global energy leader.
5M bpd target
Oil Output Goal
The company aims to boost its oil production capacity to approximately 5 million barrels per day by 2030.
It pursues multi-billion-dollar developments: upstream oil & gas fields, world-scale refineries like Ruwais, and petrochemical hubs.
Offshore operations are among the world’s largest, spanning nine fields, artificial islands, and deep subsea projects.
A major LNG and gas processor, it exports liquefied gas globally while supplying domestic power, water, and industrial users.
Subsidiaries include refining, drilling, distribution, shipping, trading, industrial gas, fertilizers, polymers, and city gas.
Investments span hydrocarbons, petrochemicals (via Borouge, Fertiglobe), and international ventures like Covestro and Santos.
It’s building thermally integrated mega-sites, pioneering subsea power grids offshore, and running the fourth-largest single-site refinery.
It’s emerging as a global chemicals and LNG trader through XRG and public listings on the Abu Dhabi exchange.
Despite its scale, it quietly made history: offshore carbon-cutting grids, subsea power, mega-ammonia & fertilizer units, and polymer giants.
