据油价网2021年6月14日报道，沙特阿拉伯是石油的代名词，欧盟痴迷于可再生能源，而美国是世界上最大的天然气生产国，但很少有国家像阿拉伯联合酋长国那样积极地追求这三种能源。
在国际能源署(IEA)的鼓励下，大多数西方国家正在避免使用化石燃料，而全球能源需求仍在持续增长。如果没有足够的可再生能源开发来满足这一需求，阿联酋正在承认自己在石油和天然气领域的世界领导者地位，而在未来10年乃至更长的时间里，世界仍然非常需要石油和天然气。
通过Belbazem海上区块的全面开发，阿布扎比正在进一步扩大其业已强大的石油行业，预计未来几年的巨额投资将提高本国的石油产量。
这份合同涵盖了Belbazem、Umm Al Salsal和Umm Al Dholou等海上边际油田。预计从2023年开始，该开发项目中的海上设施将日产4.5万桶轻质原油。
由于Adnoc的国内价值(ICV)计划符合公司2030年战略，预计约65%的合同价值将直接进入阿联酋经济。
阿联酋Adnoc明确表示，将在未来10年增加石油产量，部分原因是石油需求在经历了一年的停滞后出现反弹，但也因为担心需求在本10年晚些时候达到峰值。
然而，这并不是阿联酋关注的唯一焦点。作为阿联酋从石油转向多元化的计划的一部分，其天然气行业正变得越来越强大。事实上，阿联酋的目标是到2030年前实现天然气供应自给自足。
今年早些时候在阿布扎比酋长国和迪拜酋长国之间发现了一个天然气田，这是过去15年来发现的同类气田中最大的一个气田。Jebel Ali气田对阿联酋来说是一个鼓舞人心的发现，有潜力满足该国长达30年的天然气需求。此外，沙迦酋长国还宣布发现陆上天然气，这是上世纪80年代初以来的首次天然气发现。
尽管阿联酋的传统能源行业持续繁荣，但它并没有回避替代能源的开发。事实上，阿布扎比希望在未来十年成为世界上绿色氢燃料的领导者。
目前，Adnoc已经为其下游业务生产氢气。然而，去年11月，阿布扎比王储谢赫穆罕默德·本·扎耶德下达了一项命令，鼓励Adnoc从天然气中提取的氢和氨，以满足日益增长的国际需求。
Adnoc将通过传统能源生产中的碳捕获，以及利用可再生能源的电解法从水中提取氢气，来探索该国的蓝色氢和绿色氢能源潜力。为此，位于迪拜的穆罕默德·本·拉希德·阿勒马克图姆太阳能园区有望成为中东地区的第一个通过太阳能发电提供电力的氢气厂。
阿联酋不仅在继续发展其激烈的石油工业，而且该国旨在实现能源工业和经济的多元化，这意味着天然气的显著进步，以及氢等先进的绿色能源。这当然是阿联酋未来几年值得关注的问题。

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.
