The UAE Organising Committee for the 24th World Energy Congress has announced that ENOC Group, a leading integrated energy player has signed on as a co-host sponsor for the Congress, which will take place at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre from 9 to 12 September.
Since its establishment in 1993, ENOC has evolved from a local oil and gas company, to an integrated energy player with operations covering the entire energy value chain, including exploration and production, refining, lubricant blending, storage, aviation and retail. The Group was also recently announced as Expo 2020 Dubai Integrated Energy Partner.
In 2016, ENOC announced a new growth strategy aimed at serving Dubai’s growing energy needs whilst developing an integrated upstream and downstream energy value chain to drive future growth. Since then the Group has invested in a number of key infrastructure projects including the expansion of its refinery in Jebel Ali, the construction of its 16.2km jet fuel pipeline linking the Group’s storage terminals in Jebel Ali to Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai South and the expansion of its retail network across the UAE. More recently, the Group announced its entry into the Saudi Arabian market, committing last December to build 45 modern fuel service stations over the next five years.
Dr. Matar Al Neyadi, Undersecretary at the UAE Ministry of Energy and Industry and Chairman of the UAE Organising Committee for the 24th World Energy Congress, said: “ENOC is committed to developing sustainable energy solutions to fulfil the growing demand in the markets they serve, and we’re delighted to welcome them on board as a sponsor. They will have a crucial role to play at the Congress, bringing both local and global expertise to the table, and enhancing existing avenues of dialogue and cooperation across the whole energy spectrum to help the world rethink and resolve its energy challenges.”
His Excellency Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO of ENOC, said: “Economic prosperity and the energy sector have been closely inter-linked. We believe this responsibility extends to having a socioeconomic impact on the communities we operate in and continuously finding ways to add value to our partners through investing in innovation and being part of conversations shaping the industry’s future. By supporting key industrial platforms such as the World Energy Congress this year, we hope to meet with industry experts to discuss trends and global shifts in our industry and engage in a meaningful dialogue that will formulate strategies for a collaborative, sustainable and innovative future for the energy sector.”
