This document reviews ADNOC's performance in 2025, highlighting its strategic energy initiatives amid market volatility and increasing global demand.
2025 A YEAR IN REVIEW THE ENERGY TO LEAD. THE EDGE TO SUCCEED. Over the last 12 months, ADNOC stayed true to its course – unlocking energy for a future that is demanding more and more of it. While the market saw moments of uncertainty and volatility, the long-term direction is clear: the need for energy is ticking upwards as populations grow, emerging economies expand, and AI drives new levels of consumption. By accelerating our domestic growth, expanding globally, and turning the potential of AI into impact, ADNOC is meeting the challenge head-on.
