UAE Mass fuel production

With UAE being a significant player in the transportation sector by its sole ability for mass fuel production, it has allowed and protected local companies from stiff competition exhibited by foreign companies. An average of about 98 billion barrels of the reserve gets distributed to four entities who control quite a significant amount of crude. For instance, Abu Dhabi is the largest reserve holder, with an estimated 94 percent. The reserve is under the state ownership of the Abu Dhabi National Oil company. The other majority shareholder on the United Arab Emirates reserve is Dubai, which holds an estimated 1.5 billion barrels, accounting for about 4 percent of the total national reserve. Sharjah and Ras Al Khaima each have approximately 1.5 and 0.5 percent of the national reserve, respectively.

The industry is quite state-controlled. For instance, with its headquarters in Abu Dhabi, the supreme petroleum council comes up with the policies and objectives that control and govern the entire industry. This council is quite pronounced when it comes to sustainable and economic gas supply. The commission is also quite proactive in market adaption and revenue sharing, either downstream or upstream.
