Formation of Arcius Energy Joint Venture

Energy giants bp and XRG have officially launched Arcius Energy, a new joint venture designed to expand their global natural gas operations and accelerate the energy transition. First announced in February 2024, the venture is majority-owned by bp (51%) and minority-owned by XRG (49%), a subsidiary of ADNOC. Arcius Energy combines bp’s decades of operational experience with XRG’s investment strength to become a major force in delivering reliable, lower-carbon natural gas solutions worldwide.

 

Initial Operations and Strategic Focus in Egypt

Arcius Energy will begin its operations in Egypt, managing two development concessions and several exploration agreements formerly held by bp. Egypt’s strategic location as a MENA energy hub makes it a prime launchpad for the venture’s ambitions. The joint venture aims to scale globally by blending traditional natural gas development with cleaner, lower-emissions technologies, supporting the region’s broader energy transformation goals.

 

Accelerating the Global Energy Transition

H.E. Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber said Arcius Energy supports XRG’s mission to modernize the global energy system. The joint venture aims to deliver affordable, lower-carbon natural gas at scale. It will support growing global energy demand while advancing decarbonization. The partnership also expands both companies’ roles in the integrated gas and chemicals value chain.

 

Leadership to Steer Global Expansion

To lead this effort, Arcius Energy has appointed Naser Saif Al Yafei as CEO and Katerina Papalexandri as CFO. Al Yafei and Papalexandri bring extensive experience from ADNOC and bp, respectively. Under their leadership, Arcius aims to pursue rapid but responsible growth, ensuring operational excellence and safety while expanding into new international markets.
