SHANGHAI / WAM

The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) announced, on Saturday, it has concluded a new long-term liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sales agreement with Wanhua Chemical Group of China.
Under the terms of the 10-year contract, Wanhua will purchase up to 1 million metric tonnes of LPG per annum.
The agreement, which was signed by Abdulla Salem Al Dhaheri, Marketing, Sales and Trading Director at Adnoc and Kou Guangwu, Executive Vice President of Wanhua Chemical Group, represents another important milestone in the expanding relationship between Adnoc and its partners and customers in China.
Abdulla Salem Al Dhaheri said, “Today’s signing, of another important long-term sales agreement with a major end-user of LPG, further reinforces Adnoc’s position as a major supplier of crude oil and petroleum products to the growing economies of Asia. At Adnoc, we remain committed to achieving the best commercial value from our products, expanding our client base and penetrating new markets, through a combination of both short and long term sales and trading opportunities.”
In line with its strategy to maximise value from its downstream refining, petrochemical and gas processing operations, Adnoc produces up to 10,500,000 metric tonnes per year of LPG. This is sold both locally in the UAE and internationally.
Kou Guangwu, Executive Vice President of Wanhua Chemical Group said, “Wanhua Chemical Group is government owned but also publicly listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Through this long term supply agreement, we look forward to strengthening our strategic partnership with Adnoc.” We will continue working on potential collaborations between our companies, either in China or in the UAE, to add more value to the ‘One Belt One Road’ project.”
