Adnoc Gas signs five-year LNG supply deal with TotalEnergies for 1.6 million tonnes
Initial deliveries under the agreement are expected to begin in 2026.
Adnoc Gas has signed a five-year agreement to supply TotalEnergies with up to 1.6 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas, with initial deliveries expected to begin in 2026. The agreement was announced on 3 November 2026 and builds on an existing commercial relationship between the two companies.
Supply volume and delivery timeline#
The contract covers up to 1.6 million tonnes of LNG over a five-year term. Deliveries are scheduled to commence in 2026. Fatema Al Nuaimi, chief executive of Adnoc Gas, stated that the agreement reflects the company's supply offering and its ability to secure long-term partnerships. The deal was disclosed in a company statement on Tuesday.
TotalEnergies as counterparty and shareholder#
TotalEnergies is both a counterparty to this supply agreement and a shareholder in Adnoc Gas. The French company is also a partner in the Ruwais LNG project. Stephane Michel, president of gas, renewables and power at TotalEnergies, said the supply will enable the company to confirm its position as an LNG portfolio supplier, citing the geographic location between Europe and Asia. TotalEnergies disclosed the partnership context in the same announcement.
Adnoc Gas LNG marketing platform and capacity targets#
Adnoc Gas operates a global LNG marketing and trading platform that combines the marketing activities of Adnoc Gas and XRG with the trading capabilities of Adnoc Trading. The company stated on 3 November 2026 that the platform is targeting 47 million tonnes per annum of marketable LNG beyond 2030. The company said it expects the planned integration of the Ruwais LNG project to increase its production capacity.
Capital investment in gas processing infrastructure#
Adnoc Gas awarded USD 8.2 billion in engineering, procurement and construction contracts in August 2026 for the second and third phases of the Rich Gas Development project. Phase 2 received USD 3.9 billion and Phase 3 received USD 4.3 billion. These contracts follow Phase 1, announced in June 2025. The Rich Gas Development is a multi-phase, USD 13.2 billion capital investment programme to expand gas processing and liquid recovery infrastructure across the UAE, according to the company's August disclosure.
