据今日石油1月19日消息称，路透社周二援引阿布扎比国家石油公司(ADNOC)首席执行官Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber的话说，ADNOC正寻求与美国公司建立合作关系，以开发阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)的非常规石油资源。
阿联酋是欧佩克的主要产油国之一，希望在欧佩克+产量削减结束后，提高其产能并最终提高原油产量。
去年11月，阿布扎比最高石油委员会表示，由于新发现的石油，该酋长国的石油总储量增加了20亿桶，达到1070亿桶。该委员会还宣布，阿布扎比迄今为止拥有220亿桶的非常规石油储量，这再次归功于陆上的新发现。最高石油理事会认为，这一数量超过了阿布扎比正在开发的油田所含储量，可能与美国页岩气热潮相媲美。
Al Jaber当时说：“ SPC今天宣布发现可采非常规石油资源，这表明ADNOC如何有效地加快阿布扎比非常规资源的勘探和开发，并且标志着该国非常规工业的发展的一个重要的里程碑。”
此后几天，ADNOC表示已授予一项价值高达5.19亿美元（合19亿迪拉姆）的合同，以进一步扩大目前正在阿布扎比进行的世界上最大的三维陆上和海上地震勘测项目的范围。
ADNOC上游执行董事Yaser Saeed Al Mazrouei在11月底表示，该合同“进一步表明了ADNOC致力于充分发挥我们常规和非常规油气资源的潜力，以确保阿联酋仍然是世界上长期和可靠的能源供应商。”
上个月，ADNOC与美国超级巨头埃克森美孚签署了一项合作协议，探讨在油气上游领域的联合技术研发(R&D)合作机会，初步领域包括先进的非金属解决方案、油田测试和完整性管理、智能油藏管理和油井监测系统，以及创新的应急响应系统。

UAE’s Oil Giant Looks To Partner With U.S. Shale Companies
The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) is looking to form partnerships with companies from the United States to develop unconventional oil resources in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Reuters quoted ADNOC’s chief executive, Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, as saying on Tuesday.
The UAE, one of the large producers in OPEC, is looking to boost its production capacity and eventually, its crude oil production, when the OPEC+ output cuts end.
Last November, Abu Dhabi’s Supreme Petroleum Council said that the emirate had increased its total oil reserves by 2 billion barrels to 107 billion barrels thanks to new discoveries. The council also announced Abu Dhabi had 22 billion barrels of unconventional oil reserves to date, again thanks to new discoveries onshore. This amount is larger than the reserves contained in Abu Dhabi’s fields in development and, according to the Supreme Petroleum Council, could rival the U.S. shale boom.
“Today’s announcement by the SPC of the discovery of recoverable unconventional oil resources demonstrates how ADNOC is efficiently expediting the exploration and development of Abu Dhabi’s unconventional resources and marks a major milestone as the nation’s unconventional industry evolves,” Al Jaber said at the time.
A few days after that, ADNOC said it had awarded a contract worth up to US$519 million (AED 1.9 billion) to further expand the scope of what it says is the world’s largest combined three-dimensional (3D) onshore and offshore seismic survey, currently taking place in Abu Dhabi.
The award “further demonstrates ADNOC’s commitment to realizing the full potential of our conventional and unconventional oil and gas resources to ensure the UAE remains a long-term and reliable energy provider to the world,” Yaser Saeed Al Mazrouei, ADNOC Upstream Executive Director, said at the end of November.
Last month, ADNOC signed a collaboration agreement with U.S. supermajor ExxonMobil to explore joint technology research and development (R&D) partnership opportunities in upstream oil and gas, with initial areas including advanced non-metallic solutions, field testing and integrity management, smart reservoir management and well monitoring systems, and innovative emergency response systems.?
