DUBAI: Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC) signed a 15-year gas sales agreement on Tuesday with the Dubai Supply Authority to supply the city's natural gas needs, a statement from the company said.

The deal replaces a similar agreement signed in 1998, from which ADNOC built the Taweelah-Jebel Ali pipeline and the first gas deliveries from Abu Dhabi to Dubai followed in 2001.

The agreement was signed at ADNOC's headquarters by the company's CEO and the managing director of the supply authority.
