Adnoc’s international investment company XRG announced the signing of a landmark gas agreement to acquire a 38% interest in the offshore "Block 1" gas concession in Turkmenistan.
"This agreement marks an important milestone in XRG’s global growth strategy and builds on the strengthening relationship between the UAE and Turkmenistan. It strengthens XRG’s presence in the Caspian region, expands our resource base, and reflects our ambition to be a reliable supplier of cleaner energy to meet the world’s evolving needs. By deepening our partnership with PETRONAS, Turkmennebit, and Turkmengas, we are advancing energy security and economic development, while creating long-term value for all stakeholders," - stated XRG President, International Gas, Mohamed Al Aryani.

Located in the Caspian Sea, the Block I concession currently produces approximately 400 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. It offers significant long-term potential, with access to over 7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas resources and future opportunities for production capacity expansion.
The collaboration supports Turkmenistan’s efforts to ensure energy supply stability and export diversification while delivering sustainable growth and economic value to all parties, amid rising regional and global demand for natural gas, acoording to PETRONAS's statement.

We are privileged to contribute to the ongoing advancement of the nation’s energy industry and remain committed to fostering long-term partnerships with XRG, Hazarnebit, Turkmennebit and Turkmengas."
