Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, has chaired a meeting of the executive committee of the Adnoc board, where senior officials reviewed plans to reinforce operational resilience across the energy sector.
The session focused on Adnoc’s business continuity framework, which is designed to ensure stable operations during crises and unforeseen disruptions. Officials outlined measures covering preparedness, response and recovery, aligned with international standards followed by major global energy companies.
The committee assessed protections introduced for personnel and infrastructure while maintaining consistent production. Adnoc said the measures were aimed at ensuring reliable energy supply despite external pressures affecting global markets.
Sheikh Khaled praised the level of preparedness shown by national entities and emphasised the importance of co-ordination in responding to challenges. He highlighted Adnoc’s ability to sustain operations under demanding conditions, describing resilience and adaptability as key to the company’s performance.
After the meeting, Sheikh Khaled met business continuity teams and connected with front-line staff across several operational sites. He commended their efforts in maintaining safety standards and operational efficiency.
The meeting was attended by senior members of the Adnoc board and executive leadership, including Dr Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and managing director and group chief executive of Adnoc. Other officials and executives from across the organisation were also present, reflecting a broad representation of leadership involved in the company’s operational and strategic planning.
The discussions come as energy producers worldwide continue to navigate volatility driven by the Iran war, supply chain pressures and shifting demand patterns. Adnoc has increasingly focused on strengthening its operational systems to mitigate risks and maintain output.
The UAE has prioritised energy security and infrastructure resilience as part of its broader economic strategy. Adnoc, one of the world’s leading oil producers, plays a central role in ensuring stability in both domestic supply and international markets.
