Abu Dhabi is focusing on its offshore acreage as part of plans to boost gas production because the emirate needs more of the fuel for enhanced oil recovery and power generation.
"We are committed to supplying more resources to maintain and even increase the supply of gas for power purposes. We also need sufficient gas to inject into our reservoirs to sustain production," Qasem al-Kayoumi, manager of Abu Dhabi National Oil Co.’s (ADNOC’s) offshore division, told Interfax Natural Gas Daily.
