About Delta International Energy

Built on Four Decades of Landmark Energy Transactions

Delta International Energy is the Oil & Gas division of Delta International Group Ltd., a privately held Saudi investment group founded in 1978 and headquartered in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. From the Caspian Sea to the Albertine Graben, from the Nile Delta to the Afghan gas basins — Delta has consistently positioned itself as an early mover in the world's most consequential frontier energy markets.

"Our ambition is to become a major independent integrated oil and gas organization — built on three decades of landmark transactions, strategic partnerships, and a relentless commitment to unlocking the world's most promising energy frontiers."
— Badr Bin Mohammed Al Aiban, Chairman

Our Strategy

Three Pillars. One Vision.

01

Frontier Exploration

We identify high-impact basins before the mainstream investment community arrives — securing positions of strategic importance before large-scale capital deployment drives up entry costs.

02

Integrated Gas Development

We build entire energy economies from a single gas resource — from wellhead through pipeline transmission to power generation, LNG export, and industrial supply.

03

Sovereign Partnership Model

We invest with countries, not just in them — aligning capital, expertise, and long-term commitment with national development objectives. No upfront government capital required.
