The oil and gas sector is a mainstay of the UAE economy. The country is the fourth largest producer among OPEC members, and the seventh largest in the world, exporting more than 2.5 million barrels of crude oil per day. With a well developed oil and gas infrastructure and processing sector, the country also makes extensive use of local natural gas resources for both electricity generation and enhanced oil recovery.
With demand expanding both domestically and internationally – a BP study predicts that global energy consumption will increase 34 per cent by 2035 – the sector is well placed to capitalise on efficiencies and innovations introduced following the crude oil price collapse of 2014-2016, and to mobilise transformative new technologies such as digitisation and robotics.
