In gas, XRG has been building an international platform, taking and expanding stakes in the Rio Grande LNG project in Texas and partnering with ExxonMobil on a major ammonia and hydrogen facility. As XRG&#8217;s chief investment officer Nameer Siddiqui told The National, the company has been reviewing around 29 potential transactions as it works to build a vertically integrated global gas business. This is not portfolio tinkering, it is the construction of a second, international ADNOC.<\/p>\n<h2>\u0413\u0430\u0437 \u043a\u0430\u043a \u043c\u043e\u0441\u0442, \u0445\u0438\u043c\u0438\u043a\u0430\u0442\u044b \u043a\u0430\u043a \u043a\u043e\u043d\u0435\u0447\u043d\u0430\u044f \u0446\u0435\u043b\u044c, \u0438\u0441\u043a\u0443\u0441\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044b\u0439 \u0438\u043d\u0442\u0435\u043b\u043b\u0435\u043a\u0442 \u043a\u0430\u043a \u0441\u043f\u0440\u043e\u0441.<\/h2>\n<p>\u041a\u043e\u043c\u043f\u0430\u043d\u0438\u044f ADNOC \u0447\u0435\u0442\u043a\u043e \u0437\u0430\u044f\u0432\u0438\u043b\u0430, \u0447\u0442\u043e \u043f\u043b\u0430\u0442\u0444\u043e\u0440\u043c\u0430 XRG \u0441\u043e\u0437\u0434\u0430\u043d\u0430 \u0434\u043b\u044f \u0442\u043e\u0433\u043e, \u0447\u0442\u043e\u0431\u044b \u0443\u0447\u0438\u0442\u044b\u0432\u0430\u0442\u044c \u0442\u0440\u0438 \u0444\u0430\u043a\u0442\u043e\u0440\u0430, \u043e\u043f\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0435\u043b\u044f\u044e\u0449\u0438\u0435 \u0441\u043f\u0440\u043e\u0441 \u043d\u0430 \u044d\u043d\u0435\u0440\u0433\u0438\u044e: \u044d\u043d\u0435\u0440\u0433\u0435\u0442\u0438\u0447\u0435\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0445\u043e\u0434, \u0440\u0430\u0437\u0432\u0438\u0442\u0438\u0435 \u0438\u0441\u043a\u0443\u0441\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0438\u043d\u0442\u0435\u043b\u043b\u0435\u043a\u0442\u0430 \u0438 \u0440\u043e\u0441\u0442 \u0440\u0430\u0437\u0432\u0438\u0432\u0430\u044e\u0449\u0438\u0445\u0441\u044f \u044d\u043a\u043e\u043d\u043e\u043c\u0438\u043a. \u0421\u0432\u044f\u0437\u0443\u044e\u0449\u0438\u043c \u0437\u0432\u0435\u043d\u043e\u043c \u044f\u0432\u043b\u044f\u0435\u0442\u0441\u044f \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0440\u043e\u0434\u043d\u044b\u0439 \u0433\u0430\u0437.

By expanding its exposure to Rio Grande LNG, including a move in early 2026 to add to its stake in later trains, and by targeting the infrastructure that moves gas from field to user rather than only the cargoes, XRG is buying a position in the supply chain that feeds American industrial and data-centre demand. On the chemicals side, the logic is integration and value capture: a major that already produces hydrocarbons can move downstream into the high-value polymers those hydrocarbons become, smoothing exposure to crude price cycles and capturing margin further along the chain. Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, ADNOC&#8217;s group chief executive and XRG&#8217;s chairman, framed the Covestro deal as one that accelerates XRG&#8217;s ambition to become a top five global chemicals player. Taken together, gas is the bridge, chemicals is the destination, and AI-era demand is the wager that the bridge stays busy.<\/p>\n<h2>\u0420\u0430\u0441\u0448\u0438\u0440\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435 \u043d\u0430 \u0444\u043e\u043d\u0435 \u0441\u043e\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0449\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f \u0440\u0430\u0441\u0445\u043e\u0434\u043e\u0432<\/h2>\n<p>\u0413\u043b\u0430\u0432\u043d\u043e\u0435 \u2014 \u044d\u0442\u043e \u0432\u0440\u0435\u043c\u044f. \u0412 \u0442\u0435\u0447\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435 2025 \u0438 2026 \u0433\u043e\u0434\u043e\u0432 \u043a\u0440\u0443\u043f\u043d\u0435\u0439\u0448\u0438\u0435 \u0437\u0430\u043f\u0430\u0434\u043d\u044b\u0435 \u043a\u043e\u043c\u043f\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0438 \u0437\u0430\u043d\u0438\u043c\u0430\u043b\u0438 \u043e\u0431\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0438\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0443\u044e \u043f\u043e\u0437\u0438\u0446\u0438\u044e \u0432 \u043e\u0442\u043d\u043e\u0448\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0438 \u043a\u0430\u043f\u0438\u0442\u0430\u043b\u0430.

A national oil company is using patient, state-backed capital to buy the very infrastructure and chemicals businesses that listed majors are pruning, which shifts ownership of critical energy assets and concentrates a growing share of global gas and polymers capacity under Abu Dhabi&#8217;s umbrella. It echoes a pattern Project 54 has examined before in Eni&#8217;s self-funding capital engine and in the Shell and Equinor consolidation of the North Sea: the majors are reorganising around fewer, larger, better-funded vehicles. ADNOC&#8217;s version is the most expansionary of all, and it is being executed while competitors are looking inward.<\/p>\n<h2>\u041d\u0430\u0438\u0431\u043e\u043b\u0435\u0435 \u043d\u0430\u0434\u0435\u0436\u043d\u044b\u0435 \u0437\u0430\u0442\u0440\u0430\u0442\u044b \u043d\u0430 \u044d\u043d\u0435\u0440\u0433\u0438\u044e \u0438 \u0440\u0438\u0441\u043a \u043a\u043e\u043d\u0446\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0440\u0430\u0446\u0438\u0438<\/h2>\n<p>For suppliers, ADNOC is now arguably the most dependable large-ticket procurement pipeline in the sector. A steady 30 billion dollars a year of group capital expenditure, plus an acquisitive international arm spanning gas infrastructure, LNG, chemicals and lower-carbon projects, widens the surface a vendor can sell into well beyond the traditional upstream wellhead. The qualification gates are real, in-country value and localisation requirements still shape who wins in the UAE, and the chemicals and international assets bring their own technical and ESG standards, but the direction is more procurement, across more categories, in more geographies, for longer. The suppliers who map ADNOC&#8217;s expanding footprint and position against its stated priorities, gas, chemicals, AI-linked power and lower-carbon, are positioning against the largest committed spend in energy.<\/p>\n<p>For competitors and buyers, the read is more strategic.

Within roughly a year that enterprise value had grown to above 150 billion dollars, a scale that puts XRG among the largest energy-and-chemicals investors in the world and gives ADNOC a vehicle to act globally rather than only at home. This sits on top of a group-level decision, taken in late 2025, to approve 150 billion dollars of capital expenditure for the 2026 to 2030 period, around 30 billion dollars a year, level with the prior plan.\",\"The moves under that mandate have been large and fast. In chemicals, XRG completed its acquisition of Covestro, the German high-performance polymers maker, and combined Borouge with Borealis while acquiring NOVA Chemicals to form Borouge International, a polyolefins group valued at roughly 60 billion dollars and jointly held with Austria's OMV. In gas, XRG has been building an international platform, taking and expanding stakes in the Rio Grande LNG project in Texas and partnering with ExxonMobil on a major ammonia and hydrogen facility. As XRG's chief investment officer Nameer Siddiqui told The National, the company has been reviewing around 29 potential transactions as it works to build a vertically integrated global gas business.

Natural gas is the connective thread. XRG frames its International Gas platform as a world-scale integrated portfolio designed to meet an anticipated rise of around 15 percent in global natural gas demand over the next decade, and a much larger rise in LNG demand by 2050, positioning gas as a lower-carbon transition fuel and, crucially, as the power source for data centres. The thesis is that AI does not run on ambition, it runs on electricity, and a great deal of that electricity will be gas-fired for the foreseeable future.\",\"That is why the US gas push matters. By expanding its exposure to Rio Grande LNG, including a move in early 2026 to add to its stake in later trains, and by targeting the infrastructure that moves gas from field to user rather than only the cargoes, XRG is buying a position in the supply chain that feeds American industrial and data-centre demand. On the chemicals side, the logic is integration and value capture: a major that already produces hydrocarbons can move downstream into the high-value polymers those hydrocarbons become, smoothing exposure to crude price cycles and capturing margin further along the chain. Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, ADNOC's group chief executive and XRG's chairman, framed the Covestro deal as one that accelerates XRG's ambition to become a top five global chemicals player. Taken together, gas is the bridge, chemicals is the destination, and AI-era demand is the wager that the bridge stays busy.\"]},{\"id\":\"contrast\",\"q\":\"Why is this remarkable right now?\",\"h\":\"Expansion against a tide of retrenchment\",\"p\":[\"The timing is the story. Across 2025 and into 2026 the Western majors have been defensive with capital. BP halted share buybacks to accelerate debt reduction and targeted billions in asset sales, while Equinor and TotalEnergies trimmed their repurchase programmes, and investors have pressed several majors to sell pipeline and storage stakes to private equity to raise cash. The prevailing Western posture has been discipline, balance-sheet repair and returns to shareholders. ADNOC, backed by sovereign capital and a low-cost resource base, has gone the other way, holding capital expenditure steady and using XRG to acquire global downstream and gas assets at scale.\",\"This contrast is not just a difference in mood, it is a difference in strategy that has consequences. A national oil company is using patient, state-backed capital to buy the very infrastructure and chemicals businesses that listed majors are pruning, which shifts ownership of critical energy assets and concentrates a growing share of global gas and polymers capacity under Abu Dhabi's umbrella. It echoes a pattern Project 54 has examined before in Eni's self-funding capital engine and in the Shell and Equinor consolidation of the North Sea: the majors are reorganising around fewer, larger, better-funded vehicles.
