據油價網2021年6月14日報道，沙特阿拉伯是石油的代名詞，歐盟癡迷于可再生能源，而美國是世界上最大的天然氣生產國，但很少有國家像阿拉伯聯合酋長國那樣積極地追求這三種能源。

　　在國際能源署(IEA)的鼓勵下，大多數西方國家正在避免使用化石燃料，而全球能源需求仍在持續增長。如果沒有足夠的可再生能源開發來滿足這一需求，阿聯酋正在承認自己在石油和天然氣領域的世界領導者地位，而在未來10年乃至更長的時間里，世界仍然非常需要石油和天然氣。

　　通過Belbazem海上區塊的全面開發，阿布扎比正在進一步擴大其業已強大的石油行業，預計未來幾年的巨額投資將提高本國的石油產量。

　　這份合同涵蓋了Belbazem、Umm Al Salsal和Umm Al Dholou等海上邊際油田。預計從2023年開始，該開發項目中的海上設施將日產4.5萬桶輕質原油。

　　由于Adnoc的國內價值(ICV)計劃符合公司2030年戰略，預計約65%的合同價值將直接進入阿聯酋經濟。

　　阿聯酋Adnoc明確表示，將在未來10年增加石油產量，部分原因是石油需求在經歷了一年的停滯后出現反彈，但也因為擔心需求在本10年晚些時候達到峰值。

　　然而，這并不是阿聯酋關注的唯一焦點。作為阿聯酋從石油轉向多元化的計劃的一部分，其天然氣行業正變得越來越強大。事實上，阿聯酋的目標是到2030年前實現天然氣供應自給自足。

　　今年早些時候在阿布扎比酋長國和迪拜酋長國之間發現了一個天然氣田，這是過去15年來發現的同類氣田中最大的一個氣田。Jebel Ali氣田對阿聯酋來說是一個鼓舞人心的發現，有潛力滿足該國長達30年的天然氣需求。此外，沙迦酋長國還宣布發現陸上天然氣，這是上世紀80年代初以來的首次天然氣發現。

　　盡管阿聯酋的傳統能源行業持續繁榮，但它并沒有回避替代能源的開發。事實上，阿布扎比希望在未來十年成為世界上綠色氫燃料的領導者。

　　目前，Adnoc已經為其下游業務生產氫氣。然而，去年11月，阿布扎比王儲謝赫穆罕默德·本·扎耶德下達了一項命令，鼓勵Adnoc從天然氣中提取的氫和氨，以滿足日益增長的國際需求。

　　Adnoc將通過傳統能源生產中的碳捕獲，以及利用可再生能源的電解法從水中提取氫氣，來探索該國的藍色氫和綠色氫能源潛力。為此，位于迪拜的穆罕默德·本·拉希德·阿勒馬克圖姆太陽能園區有望成為中東地區的第一個通過太陽能發電提供電力的氫氣廠。

　　阿聯酋不僅在繼續發展其激烈的石油工業，而且該國旨在實現能源工業和經濟的多元化，這意味著天然氣的顯著進步，以及氫等先進的綠色能源。這當然是阿聯酋未來幾年值得關注的問題。

　　The UAE Is Poised To Become The Next Middle East Energy Giant

　　Saudi Arabia is synonymous with oil, the EU is obsessed with renewable energy, and the U.S. is the world's leading natural gas producer, but there are few countries pursuing all three of these energy sources with as much vigor as the UAE.

　　While much of the West, encouraged by the International Energy Agency (IEA) aim for net-zero, is shunning fossil fuels, energy demand continues to rise across the globe. Without sufficient renewable energy development to meet this demand, the UAE is acknowledging its position as a world leader in oil and gas, which are still very much still needed to power the world over the next decade and beyond.

　　Abu Dhabi is further expanding upon its already strong oil industry through the full-field development of its Belbazem offshore block, with heavy investment expected to boost oil output in the coming years.

　　The contract covers the marginal offshore fields Belbazem, Umm Al Salsal, and Umm Al Dholou. It is expected that offshore facilities in the development will produce 45,000 bpd of light crude starting in 2023.

　　Around 65 percent of the award value is expected to go directly into the UAE economy thanks to the Adnoc’s In-Country Value (ICV) program in line with the company’s 2030 strategy.

　　The UAE’s Adnoc has been clear in its plans to ramp up oil production over the coming decade, partly due to the rebound in oil demand following a year of stagnation, but also due to fears of a demand peak later this decade.

　　However, this is not the country’s only focus. As part of the UAE’s plan to diversify away from oil, its gas industry is going from strength to strength. In fact, the state is aiming to become self-sufficient in gas supply by 2030.

　　The discovery of a natural gas reservoir earlier this year, situated between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, was the biggest of its kind from the last 15 years. The Jebel Ali reservoir presents an optimistic find for the UAE, with the potential to meet the country’s gas needs for up to 30 years. In addition, the Sharjah emirate also announced an onshore gas discovery, its first since the early 1980s.

　　While the UAE’s traditional energy sector continues to boom, it isn’t shying away from alternative energy developments. In fact, Abu Dhabi is hoping to become a world leader in green hydrogen fuel over the next decade.

　　At present, Adnoc already produces hydrogen for its downstream operations. However, last November Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed delivered a mandate encouraging the exploration of hydrogen and ammonia derived from natural gas, to meet increasing international demand.

　　Adnoc will explore the country’s blue and green hydrogen energy potential, through carbon capture in traditional energy production, as well as the extraction of gas from water using electrolysis fuelled by renewable sources. To this end, the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, based in Dubai, is expected to be the first solar-powered hydrogen plant in the Middle Eastern region.

　　Not only is the UAE continuing to develop its fierce oil industry, the country’s aim to diversify its energy industry and economy has meant significant advances in gas, as well as cutting edge green energies such as hydrogen. This is certainly one to watch over the coming years.
