ADNCO expects the framework agreements to support the local manufacturing of liquid mud plants and a waste management facility.

The company recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) to explore opportunities in liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply and decarbonisation.

The agreement also covers the potential optimisation of LNG trading activities, the review of joint investments in renewables, and the monitoring of LNG cargoes’ greenhouse gasses to support low carbon LNG supplies.
