ADNOC Secures 15-Year LNG Export Deal With Japan’s Inpex

The deal marks a significant milestone for the Ruwais facility, currently under construction in Al Ruwais Industrial City. With this latest commitment, ADNOC has now locked in long-term contracts for 90% of the plant’s 9.6 mtpa total production capacity, targeting buyers across both Asia and Europe.

For Inpex, the agreement serves as a core component of its Vision 2035 strategy, which prioritizes a more flexible and diversified LNG portfolio. The project distinguishes itself by utilizing clean power, a feature ADNOC claims will make it one of the lowest-carbon-intensity export facilities in the Middle East and Africa. Nasser Al Muhairi, acting CEO of ADNOC Downstream, noted that the partnership reinforces market confidence as Japan accelerates efforts to secure long-term energy supplies, following recent similar moves by utilities like JERA.
