Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

Interim results from the first exploration well indicated the reserve holds between 1.5 to 2 trillion standard cubic feet (TSCF) of natural gas.

The discovery was made in the emirate’s Offshore Block 2 Exploration Concession, spanning a total 4,033 square kilometers northwest of Abu Dhabi.

Exploration rights for the block were awarded in 2019 to Eni and the PTT Exploration and Production Public Company.

A separate discovery of up to one billion barrels of oil equivalent in Onshore Block 4 Exploration Concession was announced last December.
