Adnoc Distribution Chief Executive Officer Bader Al Lamki said the company earmarks between $250 million and $300 million annually to support organic growth across the three countries where it operates — the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
He added that the
company is also exploring non-organic growth opportunities through potential
acquisitions or entry into new markets as part of its strategy to deliver
strong, long-term returns to shareholders.
Speaking to the
Emirates News Agency (WAM) on the sidelines of Adipec 2025, Al Lamki said Adnoc
Distribution spent around AED772 million ($210 million) during the first nine
months of 2025, with more than 50 per cent directed toward growth projects
under its smart expansion strategy aimed at delivering sustainable value.
He added that the
company aims to add 100 new service stations in 2025, including over 70 in
Saudi Arabia through a low-cost operating model, with the total network
expected to reach 1,150 stations by 2028.
Al Lamki stressed that
Adnoc Distribution continues to strengthen its leadership in the energy and
retail services sector by investing in technology and digital transformation to
enhance operational efficiency, enhance customer experience, and support
sustainable growth both locally and internationally.
At Adipec, through the
Adnoc Group’s “Genius Hub,” the company is showcasing its latest artificial
intelligence and digital technology aimed at improving operations and creating
more value for customers.
He noted that Adnoc
Distribution has developed an AI-powered fuel demand forecasting model using
advanced data analytics algorithms to determine optimal fuel distribution
quantities across its more than 550 service stations.
The model has achieved
around 95 per cent predictive accuracy, improving operational efficiency,
minimising waste, and ensuring uninterrupted fuel availability.
Al Lamki said the
company also uses data insights to identify high-demand residential areas for
future station expansion, enhancing accessibility for local communities.
On sustainable mobility, he said Adnoc Distribution is expanding its electric vehicle charging points to between 500 and 750 points by 2028, up from 368 currently, and has launched its first hydrogen refueling station in Masdar City.
