Abu dhabi: ADNOC Group's six publicly listed companies are integrating advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance growth and operational efficiency, setting a new benchmark in the energy sector.
According to Emirates News Agency, the strategic focus on AI integration has been complemented by remarkable financial performance, with the companies achieving a combined net profit of $4.7 billion (AED 17.3 billion) for the first half of 2025. This success highlights ADNOC's robust and diversified portfolio geared towards value creation.
Central to this technological transformation is MEERAi, ADNOC's proprietary AI tool, which equips management with real-time, data-driven insights for more effective decision-making. AI is streamlining operations, cutting emissions, and enhancing customer experiences across ADNOC Gas, ADNOC Distribution, ADNOC Drilling, ADNOC Logistics and Services, Fertiglobe, and Borouge, reinforcing ADNOC's status as a forward-thinking global energy leader.
ADNOC Gas reported a record net income of $1.385 billion (AED 5.1 billion) in Q2 2025, a 16% increase year-on-year. This growth was driven by strong local demand and improved operational efficiency, elevating EBITDA by 8% to $2.256 billion (AED 8.3 billion). The Board approved an interim dividend of $1.792 billion (AED 6.6 billion), scheduled for payment in September. Capital expenditure surged by 49% year-on-year, with major advancements in strategic projects, including the $5 billion Rich Gas Development (RGD) project.

EBITDA reached $566 million (AED 2.08 billion), a 10% increase year-on-year, while net profit rose by 12.2% to $358 million (AED 1.32 billion), fueled by record H1 fuel volumes and a 15% gross profit increase in its non-fuel retail segment.
