    Like most significant companies, ADNOC’s founding came through the grit and determination of a few. ADNOC’s journey began in 1935 when the first geological survey took place. In 1937, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan led an expedition of 16 tribespeople to the southwest of Abu Dhabi, where his vision for developing the UAE’s oil and gas resources was born.
