Job description

About the Company

We are the largest oil producer within the ADNOC Group, accounting for over half of ADNOC's total oil production. As the country's oldest oil production company, our operations date back to 1939, when a 75-year concession was signed to explore for oil and gas in Abu Dhabi. We are a global leader in environmental sustainability, being the first in the world to capture carbon from the iron and steel industry. Our Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) facility at Al Reyadah can capture 800,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, supporting Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) in the Bab and Rumaitha oil fields, aligning with ADNOC's 2030 sustainability goals.
