Performance In 2024, we achieved our freshwater26 target with 0.29%. We observed an increase in non-freshwater withdrawals due to production activities across our offshore and onshore operations, resulting in a rise in overall water disposal. ADNOC is developing a comprehensive water stewardship strategy that includes assessing current water practices, identifying areas for improvement and implementing water management technologies to optimize and manage water consumption.
