Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) was established in 1971 to operate in all areas of the oil and gas industry. Since then it has steadily broadened its activities, establishing companies and subsidiaries and creating an integrated oil and gas industry in Abu Dhabi. Today, the company manages and oversees the production of more than 2.7 million barrels of oil a day, ranking it among the top ten oil and gas companies in the world. Over the past three decades, ADNOC has expanded its business activities, enhanced its competitive position and managed to become one of the world's leading oil companies with substantial business interests in upstream and downstream activities, including transportation, shipping, marketing and distribution. ADNOC has 16 subsidiary companies working in various fields of the oil, gas and petrochemical industry, as well as crude oil and gas transport and services. They include ADCO, ADMA-OPCO, GASCO, ADGAS, ZADCO, TAKREER, NDC, ESNAAD, IRSHAD, FERTIL, BOROUGE, NGSCO, ADNATCO, ADGDC, ELIXIER and ADNOC- Distribution.

Together they manufacture approximately 10 million tonnes of polyethylene and polypropylene annually, placing them amongst the largest producers of polyolefins in the world. What unites these three companies is that they all belong to one Global Petrochemicals Family which includes their owner companies IPIC, the International Petroleum Investment Company, OMV, the leading energy group in the European growth belt, and ADNOC, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. In 1997 IPIC and OMV, one of its partly owned European companies, acquired Borealis, a leading provider of chemicals and innovative plastics solutions now based in Austria. Shortly thereafter, in 1998, ADNOC and Borealis formed a groundbreaking partnership to focus on the expanding plastics markets of the Middle East and Asia. They called this partnership Borouge. Over a decade later, in 2009, IPIC acquired NOVA Chemicals, a leading producer of plastics and chemicals based in North America. While the companies operate entirely separately, each with their own Management, Strategy, Mission, Vision and Values, the common thread is their commitment to the successful growth and combined contribution of petrochemicals to society. The success of this Global Petrochemicals Family is based on a value proposition offering scale of operations, feedstock integration, proprietary technology and access to global markets.
