Khaleej Times: UAE Minister of Industry and Adnoc CEO calls for de-escalation and restoration stability, to ensure that energy continues to flow safely to the world

Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, and  Adnoc managing director and Group CEO, has severely criticised the attacks on energy infrastructure in the region.

“These are civilian facilities, operated by civilian engineers, sustaining economies and everyday life far beyond our region. This is an unjustified, unprovoked and illegal attack on a peaceful nation. But it is not just a regional issue — it is global economic warfare. Energy flows are being weaponised,” Dr Al Jaber wrote in a LinkedIn post on Thursday.

Adnoc’s Shah gas field, along with a section of its refinery complex at Ruwais, has come under attack from Iran during the conflict.

“The reality is simple: energy security is global economic stability. When energy systems are targeted, the consequences are felt by our teams on the front line, by communities here in the Emirates, and by households and economies around the world. 

“The call from the UAE and across the globe is clear: Attacks on civilian and energy infrastructure must stop. We must de-escalate, restore stability, and ensure energy continues to flow safely to the world,” Dr Al Jaber said.
