U.S. oil and gasoline exploration and manufacturing firm EOG Assets Inc. has secured a brand new exploration concession in Abu Dhabi. The corporate stated in a media launch that it has been awarded Unconventional Onshore Block 3 (UCO3) by Abu Dhabi’s Supreme Council for Monetary and Financial Affairs (SCFEA).
The UCO3 concession space is 3,609 sq. kilometers, or almost 900,000 acres, in an over-pressured, oil-prone basin within the Al Dhafra area of Abu Dhabi, EOG stated. EOG holds one hundred pc fairness and operatorship.
In coordination with Abu Dhabi Nationwide Oil Co. (ADNOC), EOG will discover and appraise unconventional oil within the concession space. After a three-year analysis interval, EOG would possibly enter a manufacturing concession that ADNOC can select to partake in, EOG stated.

EOG anticipates beginning drilling within the latter half of 2025, with the corporate’s 2025 capital plan remaining unchanged, the corporate stated.
“We’re excited for the chance to judge this hydrocarbon-rich basin for potential horizontal growth”, Ezra Y. Yacob, Chairman and Chief Government Officer of EOG, stated. “We look ahead to working alongside ADNOC to broaden Abu Dhabi’s useful resource potential”.
The deal is a part of a package deal ADNOC signed with U.S. corporations that will allow as much as $60 billion of U.S. investments in UAE power initiatives.
