據8月7日世界天然氣報道，因天然氣價格走低，阿布扎比國家石油公司的天然氣部門ADNOC天然氣公司周五報告稱，第二季度收入較2022年同期下降了24%。

ADNOC天然氣公司在一份聲明中表示，第二季度收入為54億美元，而2022年第二季度微調后的收入為71億美元，與此同時，同期布倫特原油價格同比下降31%。

第二季度凈收入從上年同期的14億美元下降29%至10億美元。

值得一提的是，ADNOC在首次公開募股（IPO）中籌集了25億美元后，于3月將其天然氣業務上市。在海灣地區對能源相關資產的需求中，首次公開募股吸引了投資者的強烈興趣。

該公司2023年上半年凈收入下降了12%至23億美元，而同期的收入降至106億美元，該公司一年前同期調整后收入為133億美元。

ADNOC天然氣公司首席執行官Ahmed Alebri表示，“這一表現表明了我們業務的實力，同時也得到了銷售更多高利潤出口液化天然氣的傾向支持，這一戰略已被證明是有效的。我們將繼續見證，天然氣作為負責任的全球能源轉型的關鍵燃料的長期結構性需求增長”。

自2022年2月以來，隨著液化天然氣的競爭加劇，ADNOC更加關注天然氣市場，尤其是歐洲需要大量供應來幫助取代進口管道天然氣。

UAE’s Adnoc Gas Q2 Revenue Down 4% On Lower Prices

State oil giant Abu Dhabi National Oil Company's gas unit, ADNOC Gas, on Friday reported a 24% decline in revenue for the second quarter from the same period in 2022, citing lower pricing.

ADNOC Gas posted revenue of $5.4 billion in Q2 versus the pro forma adjusted revenue of $7.1 billion in Q2 2022, it said in a statement, adding that Brent prices dropped 31% year-on-year in the same period.

Second quarter net income fell 29% to $1 billion from $1.4 billion in the prior year period.

ADNOC listed its gas business in March after raising $2.5 billion from an initial public offering (IPO) which drew strong investor appetite amid demand for energy-related assets from the Gulf region.

Net income in the first half of 2023 decreased 12% to $2.3 billion, while revenue in the same period fell to $10.6 billion compared to pro forma adjusted revenue of $13.3 billion in the prior year period.

"This performance demonstrates the strength of our business, which was also supported by selling more high-margin export liquids – a strategy that has proven effective," ADNOC Gas CEO Ahmed Alebri said, amid "the current lower price environment".

"We continue to witness long-term structural demand growth for natural gas as a critical fuel for the responsible global energy transition."

ADNOC has sharpened its focus on the gas market as competition for LNG has ramped up since the war in February 2022, with Europe in particular needing large amounts to help replace piped gas.
