ADNOC and IOCL are expected to agree on a 15-year supply deal for one million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the lower-carbon Ruwais gas project.
In a little over a year, India has signed the third such contract to act as a bulwark against energy shortfalls itself. Earlier on, IOCL and GAIL entered into longterm agreements with ADNOC for 1.2 MMTPA and 0.5 MMTPA respectively.
The memorandum of understanding (MoU) entered into by Nuclear Power Corporation Of India Limited(NNPCIL) and Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) will enable deepening of ties in operations and maintenance , procurement of nuclear materials and services from India and investments. It will provide a basis for cooperation in the nuclear energy development in all aspects as well.
The UAE completed the Arab world’s first nuclear power plant in Abu Dhabi, set to generate 40 terawatt-hours annually when all reactors are operational.
The ADNOC-ISPRL MoU boosts UAE’s role in Indian crude storage and management. This agreement reflects ADNOC’s involvement in crude oil storage at ISPRL’s Mangalore Cavern.
MOUs to strengthen energy security, the Indian government decided in 2004 to build strategic petroleum reserves. ISPRL has achieved a storage capacity of 5.33 million metric tonnes of crude oil in underground rock caverns located at three sites including one of 1.5 million metric tonnes capacity in Mangalore.
The production concession agreement for Abu Dhabi Onshore Block 1 between the two entities, i.e. ADNOC and Urja Bharat, a joint venture of IOCL with Bharat Petro Resources Ltd., is India’s first agreement of this kind in the country where such an entity out of India is involved in operating within the UAE. This concession allows crude oil to India through Urja Bharat, and that improves the energy security of the nation.
The Gujarat government has signed an MoUs with the Abu Dhabi developmental holding company, ADQ, which proposes the construction of food and agriculture park at Gundanpara in the Ahmedabad district by the second quarter of twenty twenty five.
At the time of Sheikh Khaled’s arrival in Mumbai on Tuesday, he will launch soft work concerning the VTC corridor linking India and UAE ga and the use of maitr interface to ease out the usage of VTC.
