“We continue to strive to adapt and advance in order to deliver the products, services and convenience that our customers want and value," he added.

"The launch of our new ‘Adnoc On the go’ neighbourhood station earlier this year was testament to that and the ways our solid history and experience helps us to deliver progressive solutions for now and into the future”.
