据8月7日世界天然气报道，因天然气价格走低，阿布扎比国家石油公司的天然气部门ADNOC天然气公司周五报告称，第二季度收入较2022年同期下降了24%。

ADNOC天然气公司在一份声明中表示，第二季度收入为54亿美元，而2022年第二季度微调后的收入为71亿美元，与此同时，同期布伦特原油价格同比下降31%。

第二季度净收入从上年同期的14亿美元下降29%至10亿美元。

值得一提的是，ADNOC在首次公开募股（IPO）中筹集了25亿美元后，于3月将其天然气业务上市。在海湾地区对能源相关资产的需求中，首次公开募股吸引了投资者的强烈兴趣。

该公司2023年上半年净收入下降了12%至23亿美元，而同期的收入降至106亿美元，该公司一年前同期调整后收入为133亿美元。

ADNOC天然气公司首席执行官Ahmed Alebri表示，“这一表现表明了我们业务的实力，同时也得到了销售更多高利润出口液化天然气的倾向支持，这一战略已被证明是有效的。我们将继续见证，天然气作为负责任的全球能源转型的关键燃料的长期结构性需求增长”。

自2022年2月以来，随着液化天然气的竞争加剧，ADNOC更加关注天然气市场，尤其是欧洲需要大量供应来帮助取代进口管道天然气。

UAE’s Adnoc Gas Q2 Revenue Down 4% On Lower Prices

State oil giant Abu Dhabi National Oil Company's gas unit, ADNOC Gas, on Friday reported a 24% decline in revenue for the second quarter from the same period in 2022, citing lower pricing.

ADNOC Gas posted revenue of $5.4 billion in Q2 versus the pro forma adjusted revenue of $7.1 billion in Q2 2022, it said in a statement, adding that Brent prices dropped 31% year-on-year in the same period.

Second quarter net income fell 29% to $1 billion from $1.4 billion in the prior year period.

ADNOC listed its gas business in March after raising $2.5 billion from an initial public offering (IPO) which drew strong investor appetite amid demand for energy-related assets from the Gulf region.

Net income in the first half of 2023 decreased 12% to $2.3 billion, while revenue in the same period fell to $10.6 billion compared to pro forma adjusted revenue of $13.3 billion in the prior year period.

"This performance demonstrates the strength of our business, which was also supported by selling more high-margin export liquids – a strategy that has proven effective," ADNOC Gas CEO Ahmed Alebri said, amid "the current lower price environment".

"We continue to witness long-term structural demand growth for natural gas as a critical fuel for the responsible global energy transition."

ADNOC has sharpened its focus on the gas market as competition for LNG has ramped up since the war in February 2022, with Europe in particular needing large amounts to help replace piped gas.
