Asset integrity and process safety To maintain safe and reliable operations, ADNOC has created operating procedures and maintenance programs to prevent incidents such as leaks and spills. We also use risk-based inspection, predictive maintenance and monitoring systems to identify and address risks across the asset life cycle. The asset integrity and process safety (AIPS) management manual, which provides a risk-based approach to asset integrity, is ISO 55001 certified. Leadership oversees AIPS risks as part of enterprise risk management. We apply best practices from the IOGP, the American Petroleum Institute (API), the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS), the Energy Institute (EI) and other industry bodies. We also conduct periodic assurance reviews and independent third-party evaluations. ADNOC upholds strict well-management standards to maintain well integrity and safety. This approach includes the following: • Defined management systems and monitoring to enable us to detect and mitigate well integrity risks • Clear leadership accountability • Alignment with international standards and best practices 6 As per API classification of safety events: A Tier 1 PSE is a loss of primary containment (LOPC) with the greatest consequence. 7 A Tier 2 PSE is a LOPC with lesser consequence. Process safety events Tier 1 Tier 2 Number of events 2022 5 4 2023 5 5 2025 1 5 2024 2 2 In 2025, we deployed an asset integrity and process safety reporting tool to support active performance monitoring. We recorded one Tier 1 6 and five Tier 2 7 process safety events (PSEs) in 2025. In all cases, we promptly activated safety protocols and emergency response procedures, provided medical attention and support where required, and investigated each event to identify root causes and implement corrective actions. 42
