"UAE Oil & Gas Competitive Intelligence Report Q4 2010" now available at Fast Market Research

Nov. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- The main government vehicle is Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), which dominates Abu Dhabi's upstream oil sector. It accounts for almost half of the UAE's oil production and 36% of refining capacity. It operates as part of joint ventures (JVs) with IOCs. Other major state companies are downstream participants Emarat and ENOC.

IOC upstream involvement is extensive and set to rise as more Abu Dhabi upstream projects are offered. Foreign groups are active in oil production, gas exports, lubricants supply and petrochemicals schemes.

BP has stakes in Abu Dhabi upstream companies ADMA-OPCO and ADCO, plus the ADGAS gas export business. Production net to BP in 2009 was 182,000b/d of oil. BP has its regional downstream hub in Dubai and a lubricants blending plant in Jebel Ali. The BP Sharjah business is the largest private producer, processor and seller of natural gas in the UAE, in partnership with the Sharjah government.

Total holds 9.5% of onshore producer ADCO, has a 13.3% interest in offshore producer ADMA-OPCO and owns 15% of GASCO, a processor of associated and non-associated gas. It also has shares in LNG company ADGAS and has 24.5% of the integrated US$3.5bn Dolphin project. Total's production was 10,000b/d of oil and 0.1bcm of gas in 2008.

ConocoPhillips is a partner in the Dubai Petroleum JV. The company's Fateh, Southwest Fateh, Falah and Rashid oil fields are located about 97km offshore in the Arabian Gulf. It left the Shah sour gas scheme in April 2010.

ExxonMobil has a 9.5% stake in an onshore concession operated by ADCO and is a major supplier of lubricating oils in the emirates. It should shortly begin work on raising the output of the giant Upper Zakum field from 550,000b/d. Exxon has a 28% stake in the project. UAE production net to Exxon in 2008 was 284,000b/d.

Fuels marketing in the UAE is dominated by Emarat and EPPCO, a 60:40 JV between ENOC and Caltex. ENOC operates a 120,000b/d condensates refinery in Dubai, accounting for threequarters of Dubai's capacity.

Shell holds a 15% stake in GASCO and 9.5% of ADCO. In 2008, the group produced 146,000b/d net in Abu Dhabi.

The UAE's bilateral relations were strained in October 2009, when Iran called for the cancellation of a gas supply deal to the emirates. Signed in 2001, the deal has been in limbo ever since, with Iran unhappy about the proposed price of gas exports.
