The ‘GECF Award for Long-Term Commitment to Natural Gas’ was awarded to three highly-decorated institutions that have demonstrated an outstanding record of accomplishment in the natural gas sector during a career span.
•SONATRACH, the national oil and gas company of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria, which has been a pioneer in the natural gas industry with first baseload LNG plant in 1964, first LNG long-term contract in 1969, and gas exports through intercontinental subsea pipelines, and has played a pivotal role in the country's economy for over 60 years.
•The Research Institute of Petroleum Industry from the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has been instrumental in the development and commercialisation of key technologies in the national gas industry.
•ADNOC Gas from the United Arab Emirates, which as a central pillar of the nation’s energy ecosystem, has enabled gas self-sufficiency and industrial growth, while expanding export capacity to meet increasing global gas demand.
