Title: EOG Resources and ADNOC Make Progress on Joint Shale Project in UAEEOG Resources and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) are making significant strides in their joint shale project in the United Arab Emirates, with ADNOC drilling horizontal wells and successfully testing oil to the surface. The project, which was initially expected to begin drilling in the second half of 2025, is running on schedule, according to EOG CEO Ezra Yacob [1].
The project, located in the Al Dhafra region of Abu Dhabi, marks one of the most advanced shale exploration efforts in the Middle East. Horizontal drilling techniques are being employed to unlock unconventional resources, a move that is gaining traction as national oil companies seek to diversify their energy portfolios [1].
Additionally, EOG Resources has entered Bahrain’s upstream sector this year through a gas exploration agreement with state-owned Bapco Energies. According to Reuters, Bapco has already conducted horizontal testing that brought gas to the surface at an onshore prospect [2]. This expansion into Bahrain demonstrates EOG's commitment to exploring new opportunities in the region.
EOG Resources operates the block in the UAE and has been working closely with ADNOC to ensure the project's success. The company's focus on shale exploration aligns with global trends, as unconventional resources become increasingly important in meeting energy demands [3].
