The United Arab Emirates' state-owned energy giant ADNOC is to start production at the Ras Al Sadr gas field in Abu Dhabi, state news agency WAM reported on Thursday.
The field has production capacity of up to 100 million standard cubic feet of gas per day, WAM said.
Ras Al Sadr is being developed jointly by ADNOC and JODCO, a subsidiary of one of Japan’s largest oil and gas exploration and production companies, INPEX.
“The successful restart of operations in the Ras Al Sadr field highlights ADNOC’s commitment to setting new industry standards as we strive to responsibly meet the demands of an ever-changing energy market,” said ADNOC Upstream Executive Director Abdulmunim Saif Al Kindy.
“The first well at Ras Al Sadr was the start of Abu Dhabi’s oil industry that has powered the UAE’s economy for over half a century. This achievement underscores our contribution to the prosperity and sustainability of the country and reaffirms our commitment to operate in harmony with local communities to create lasting and sustainable value for the nation,” he added.
