“It solidifies ADNOC’s position as an attractive partner and reinforces the UAE’s track record as the region’s go-to foreign direct investment destination, even during the current unprecedented circumstances.”

Under the deal, ADNOC will lease its ownership interest in the assets to its subsidiary ADNOC Gas Pipelines for a period of 20 years in return for a volume-based tariff.

It is expected to generate upfront proceeds of more than $10bn for ADNOC.

The transaction, which is the region’s largest energy infrastructure deal, is subject to customary closing conditions and necessary regulatory approvals.

Last month, ADNOC reported the generation of over AED3.67bn ($1bn) in business value from its Panorama Digital Command Center since its commissioning in 2018.
