Dubai: ADNOC Gas said it has made temporary operational adjustments to production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquids traded for export in response to ongoing shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting the impact of growing regional tensions on energy flows.

The company said it is working with customers and partners on a shipment-by-shipment basis to meet contractual commitments as restrictions on one of the world’s most critical oil and gas transit routes affect export logistics.
The Strait of Hormuz, a key point for global energy trade, handles a significant portion of offshore oil and gas shipments, making any disruption a risk to supply chains and market stability.
Transportation restrictions
ADNOC Gas said the changes in LNG and liquid exports are temporary and directly related to the disruption of marine traffic through Hormuz, rather than operational issues at its facilities.
“Operations are continuing safely at ADNOC Gas plc’s asset base,” the company said, adding that post-fall debris inspections near certain facilities confirmed no injuries and no impact on core processing integrity.
The company did not specify the extent of the production adjustments, but said it is prioritizing flexibility in meeting cargo commitments in evolving conditions.

Access cargo after cargo
ADNOC Gas said it is coordinating closely with parties to manage shipments, adopting a transaction-by-transaction approach to mitigate the impact of shipping delays and route challenges.
The strategy reflects tighter logistical conditions in the region, where vessel movements and security considerations have become more complex amid heightened risk.
Energy producers in the Persian Gulf often rely on Hormuz as the main export route, limiting immediate alternatives when disruptions occur.
Basic operations are stable
The company said its processing facilities remain fully operational, with no damage to critical infrastructure, despite reports of debris near certain areas.
Safety remains the priority, with ADNOC Gas stating that it continues to focus on protecting staff, contractors and partners while maintaining customer service.
The update suggests that the current constraints are more logistical than technical, with production adjustments aimed at bringing production closer to export capacity.
‘Evolving Situation’
ADNOC Gas said its balance sheet strength and capital discipline underpin its ability to weather the disruption, while maintaining its commitment to shareholder value.
The company added that its assessment reflects current conditions and may be revised as the situation evolves, with further updates expected if material developments arise.
The developments highlight the sensitivity of global energy markets to disruptions in Hormuz, where even limited disruptions can flow through supply chains and price dynamics.
