ADOC SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2024 ABOUT ADOC
ADOC is a privately held company that specializes in the development and production of oil, with our head office
based in Tokyo, Japan. ADOC was established on the 17th of January 1968 when it was awarded the exploration
and development of the oil concession Mubarraz Field, located off the coast of Abu Dhabi. The first exploratory well
successfully produced crude oil in September 1969 in Mubarraz Field, and in June 1973, the first shipment of Mubarraz
crude oil was transported to Japan.
ADOC’s operations in Abu Dhabi are regulated under the Supreme Council for Financial and Economic Affairs (SCFEA).
The SCFEA is the superior authority responsible for the petroleum industry in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The SCFEA
formulates and oversees the implementation of Abu Dhabi's petroleum policy and follows up its implementation across
all areas of the petroleum industry in the Emirate to ensure that the set goals are accomplished. ADOC also follows
standards and guidelines in line with ADNOC, which is a state-owned oil company in United Arab Emirates responsible

Since its establishment in 1968, ADOC has been highly regarded for its achievements within the industry through safe,
effective, and reliable operations. ADOC is strongly committed towards sustainability as well as HSE and has developed
procedures in alignment with the ADNOC HSE Standards. Through ADOC’s safe and stable operations, we can continue
