Abu Dhabi Royal Family’s Fund Invests $1.13 Billion in MidOcean Energy LLC
The Private Department of Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalid Al Nahyan, the investment arm of the Abu Dhabi ruling family, announced a $1.13 billion investment in MidOcean Energy LLC, a liquefied natural gas (LNG) company. The investment was disclosed in a statement released on Tuesday and represents the Private Department’s first entry into the LNG sector; the fund previously concentrated on real‑estate development projects such as residential and commercial towers and shopping malls.
The partnership involves EIG, the private‑equity firm that created MidOcean, and aims to develop energy and infrastructure investment opportunities within the United Arab Emirates and selected regional markets. MidOcean Energy LLC is currently backed by Saudi Aramco and holds equity stakes in gas‑export plants located in Australia, Peru and Canada. The company is also in discussions to add an LNG venture in Argentina to its portfolio.
