A newly created wealth fund overseen by Abu Dhabi ’s crown prince has signed a $2.3 billion pact for a railway project in Jordan, highlighting the role the entity is likely to play in advancing the emirate’s strategic relationships. L’imad Holding Co. will partner with multiple Jordanian entities to build and operate a railway line connecting phosphate and potash mines to the port of Aqaba, according to a statement Wednesday. Work on the 360 kilometer (220-mile) project is scheduled to begin in 2027 and be completed over five years. “This is the biggest investment that Jordan has witnessed over the past 25 years,” the country’s minister of transport, Nedal Katamine, said by phone. “It’s the largest project concerning transport in Jordan, and among the largest ones in the region.” L’imad’s involvement in the Jordan deal — an extension of a $5.5 billion agreement signed in 2023 — signals the central role the wealth fund is expected to play in Abu Dhabi’s dealmaking. The fund shot to prominence late last year after joining influential Middle Eastern investors backing Paramount Skydance Corp .’s hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery Inc . In January, the Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohammed became chairman, after which the fund absorbed sovereign investor ADQ . Abu Dhabi has also folded into it the owner of McLaren Automotive and its stake in Chinese electric vehicle maker Nio Inc.

The $2.3 billion deal is also the latest indication that Abu Dhabi is willing to keep deploying capital despite a regional conflict that’s impacted key energy infrastructure across the Gulf. The United Arab Emirates has been an ally of Jordan and its royal family, and views the count...

TotalEnergies SE signaled a strong first quarter as surging energy prices and rising production outside the Middle East helped offset the impact of the Iran war. Results from oil and gas production and trading are expected to rise significantly in the quarter, the French energy giant said in a trading update Thursday, ahead of earnings due later this month. The outbreak of war at the end of February upended markets from crude to jet fuel as shipping through the crucial Strait of Hormuz chokepoint came to a near standstill. Europe’s oil majors have large trading operations that often profit from increased volatility. Shell Plc and BP Plc both reported strong trading performance for the quarter. Total’s trading arm embarked on one of the biggest-ever buying sprees of Middle Eastern oil last month as the war intensified, adding to the upward pressure on prices. It had already been snapping up crude from the North Sea before the start of the conflict, tightening near-term supply. The company managed to keep oil and gas production in line with the previous quarter as new projects in Brazil and Libya mitigated the decline in Middle East output. Tankers and gas carriers were prevented from transiting Hormuz, triggering shut-ins in countries including Iraq, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates — all places where Total operates. Key energy assets across the Persian Gulf have also been halted because of Iranian strikes. Total said last week that the Satorp refinery in Saudi Arabia, a joint venture with Saudi Aramco, was shut after suffering damage in an attack.
