In doing so, we believe that we are not only extending energy cooperation between Abu Dhabi and Dubai in time, but also building on the foundations, originally laid in 1998 and reinforced over the years, to expand the breadth and depth of our energy relations now and in the future." Dr. Al Jaber said, "This agreement underscores Adnoc's commitment to meeting the growing energy needs of the UAE. We will harness our gas resources for the benefit of the nation, working in close collaboration with our customers and partners, by making smart investments in the development of additional gas reserves. This will enable us to deliver against our strategic objective of providing a sustainable and economic supply of gas to the UAE." As part of its 2030 smart growth strategy, ADNOC plans to access undeveloped tight reservoirs, tap into its gas caps and expand sour gas production, ensuring that it delivers a sustainable and economic gas supply to meet the UAE's growing demand for energy.
