How Gateway Group can setup your oil and gas company in Abu Dhabi

Avoid the uncertainty of appointing a local partner and not knowing if they meet the requirements for getting Supreme Petroleum Council approval to enable your organisation to work directly with ADNOC and apply for CICPA registration and security passes. Imagine the potential delays and cost implications if you set up your business only to find out that your local partner didn't meet the necessary requirements. Gateway Group is already Supreme Petroleum Council-approved. This means we meet all these requirements and gives you one less thing to worry about, making us an ideal local sponsor for oil and gas companies.
