ADNOC, or the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, has stated that it has begun drilling operations in the UAE with its strategic partner, EOG. The initiative aims at increasing upstream oil production in the Middle East. The Middle East has become the home of new advancements in engineering and oil production thanks to some well-thought-out partnerships. Abu Dhabi is built on the black gold that the world is enamored by, and the government is fast-tracking any projects that increase its foothold in the market.
ADNOC has stated that the project is due to meet its initial schedule
The United Arab Emirates is on track to complete its ambitious project in partnership with the United States-based energy company, EOG. For generations, the region has been fueled by the vast oil resources that continue to be discovered on what seems like a daily basis. Now the government in the UAE has claimed that the project is well on track to meet its deadline.
The project is attempting to drill horizontal wells that could bring oil to the surface at a shale block in the United Arab Emirates. The only problem is, a country does not normally possess the resources or engineering acumen to bring these types of projects to life, and as a result, often reaches out to some of the largest energy corporations to make the project a reality.
The governments of the Middle East are acutely aware of the fact that they rely heavily on oil production for the nation’s economy. And the UAE has vast resources of oil that are untapped and require a specialist approach to get them into a state where realistic drilling can commence. To their credit, the UAE government is not waiting for a handout and is setting up a strategic partnership to get the best out of the new project.
EOG has several projects in the region regarding non-renewable and renewable energy
EOG is an American giant of the energy sector; they have a unique skillset and approach to doing business. The Houston-based company has begun drilling horizontal wells in the United Arab Emirates in the second half of 2025 and is making progress in expanding oil shales in the region, and they just keep getting more projects in several countries.
They recently announced a joint venture with another country in the Middle East, Bahrain. They have begun several projects in Bahrain that aim to explore gas reserves and have expanded a refinery to increase oil production in the region. The oil production sector has become the region’s main source of income and innovation and often has long-lasting effects on the country’s economy.
These projects represent EOG’s plan to increase its foothold in the market, as they have several initiatives that have massive earning potential in the energy sector. ADNOC has stated that the project is on track and they expect positive results in the near future. Oil is still the most reliable and practical form of energy that we have at our disposal.
Can the ADNOC project bring the region back to life following a troubling few years
The Middle East is doing its best to recover from a less-than-ideal few years that have seen the region embroiled in geopolitical issues that affect the countries’ bottom lines. Any future projects are carefully considered and given massive support and backing from the government. The region has long been the international standard in oil production and has significant political power as a result. It’s difficult to negotiate with a country for oil purchases if there is a glaring difference in opinion. Oil is still the most valuable energy resource in the world and we can not envision a future without it in some capacity.
