Description

ADNOC LNG was established in 1973 as the first LNG production company in the Arabian Gulf. The Das Island facility is the third longest-established LNG operation still in production globally. The first 2 trains were commissioned in 1977, with the first cargo being dispatched from the plant on April 29th, 1977. ADGAS became the pioneer of the gas liquefaction industry in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan (1918–2004) was an Emirati leader, credited with founding the United Arab Emirates. He governed the Eastern Region before becoming Abu Dhabi's ruler in 1966 and later the UAE's first president until his passing in 2004. Revered as the "Father of the Nation," he played a pivotal role in uniting the seven emirates. Zayed succeeded his brother as Abu Dhabi's ruler after a peaceful coup in 1966.
