Adnoc plans to increase fuel stations

Abu Dhabi Adnoc Distribution, Abu Dhabi's only oil retailer, plans to increase filling stations across the UAE to 220 by 2009, a senior executive of the company said on Sunday.

"We have around 190 stations at the moment. We have noticed the demand for petrol and diesel has been increasing and we have to cater to this increase in demand," the Adnoc Distribution executive told Gulf News on the sidelines of a conference here.

He, however, declined to elaborate on the planned increases in the number of fuel stations at individual locations.

Adnoc Distribution, a unit of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) is an integrated energy company. Founded in 1973, Adnoc Distribution markets and distributes petroleum products and services within the UAE and internationally.
