Sector Detail

Oil & Gas / Natural Resources

Midstream processing infrastructure, storage tank farms, and specialized logistics terminals.

The global picture

About half of the world's energy, and it has to be moved and stored.

Oil and natural gas supplied about half of the world's energy in 2025. The International Energy Agency has called 2026 the largest energy security crisis the world has faced, after conflict disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

The response has been a search for new export routes and more storage. Supply security depends on the infrastructure between the well and the customer as much as on production.

  • ~25%Of world seaborne oil trade normally passes through the Strait of Hormuz (IEA)2
  • 300 bcmOf new LNG export capacity a year under construction to 2030 (IEA)3
The UAE picture

A major producer with an export route outside the Strait.

ADNOC is raising its oil production capacity to 5 million barrels a day by 2027. A pipeline runs from Habshan in Abu Dhabi to Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman, outside the Strait of Hormuz.

Fujairah is one of the world's largest bunkering and storage hubs, which makes the east coast central to how the UAE's energy reaches its customers.

  • 1.5m b/dNameplate capacity of the Habshan to Fujairah pipeline (IEA)2
The gap

Supply security depends on the infrastructure between the well and the customer.

  1. 01

    Storage

    Tank capacity gives producers and traders room to adjust when markets or routes are disrupted.

  2. 02

    Terminals and logistics

    Specialised terminals connect production to shipping and to inland demand.

  3. 03

    Long-term owners

    Midstream assets earn their return over decades and need owners who hold them.
