ADNOC Signs 15-Year LNG Supply Deal with Shell for Ruwais Project

SEATTLE (Oil Monster): The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has announced the signing of a 15-year Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) with Shell International Trading Middle East Limited FZE, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shell plc. Under the deal, ADNOC will supply up to 1 million tons per annum (mtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from its upcoming Ruwais LNG project.

This milestone marks ADNOC’s first long-term LNG sales agreement with Shell and represents the eighth long-term offtake contract secured for the Ruwais LNG project. The agreement significantly advances ADNOC’s goal of rapidly commercializing the Ruwais facility — with nearly 8 mtpa of the project’s total planned 9.6 mtpa capacity now committed under long-term deals.

The LNG supplied to Shell will be sourced primarily from the Ruwais LNG project, currently under development in Al Ruwais Industrial City, Abu Dhabi. Once operational, the facility is expected to become one of the world’s most efficient and lower-carbon intensity LNG production sites.

Commenting on the deal, Fatema Al Nuaimi, CEO of ADNOC Gas, said the partnership with Shell underscores ADNOC’s position as a trusted global supplier of lower-carbon energy and sets a new benchmark for large-scale LNG projects worldwide. She added that the Ruwais LNG development is progressing at record speed, with commissioning targeted by the end of 2028.

The agreement further strengthens ADNOC’s global LNG portfolio and highlights growing demand for cleaner, more sustainable energy solutions as the world transitions toward a low-carbon future.
