The biggest state-held oil firms in the Middle East, including Saudi Aramco and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), consider selling more assets to investors to monetize stakes in their various downstream and upstream businesses as prices rise. Aramco has already made one major asset sale deal this year, selling a 49% stake in its pipeline business for $12.4 billion, while ADNOC is getting ready for an IPO of its drilling business and aims to attract foreign investors to it. ADNOC has already raised billions of U.S. dollars from energy asset deals, including a sale of a 49% stake in its gas pipelines in 2020 for $10 billion.
