Umm Al-Shief Project's Gas Strategy

The UAE is promoting the "Umm Shief" project, which focuses on developing the gas cap within the offshore oil field to enhance oil production and improve extraction efficiency. The project aims to produce around 600 million cubic feet of gas per day, in addition to reinjecting some of the gas back into the reservoir to maintain pressure and slow the decline of natural production. This approach helps extend the field’s lifespan and increases oil recovery rates by 20% to 40%. The strategy relies on precise reservoir management using both old and new gas injection techniques, a method proven effective in large global fields, especially as the value of gas shifts from a low-value product to a strategic commodity of significant economic importance. It is expected that the "Umm Shief" model will be applied to other mature fields in the Gulf, particularly with international company participation and collaborative efforts that promote resource development and sustainable production.
