Oil reserves in the United Arab Emirates

Oil reserves in the United Arab Emirates, according to its government, are about 98.63 billion barrels (15.681×10^⁹ m³), almost as big as Kuwait's claimed reserves. Of the emirates, Abu Dhabi has most of the oil with 92 billion barrels (14.6×10^⁹ m³) while Dubai has 4 billion barrels (640×10^⁶ m³) and Sharjah has 1.5 billion barrels (240×10^⁶ m³). Most of the oil is in the Zakum field which is the third largest in the Middle East with an estimated 66 billion barrels (10.5×10^⁹ m³). The UAE produces about 2.9 million barrels per day (460×10^³ m³/d) of total oil liquids, but has stated its intention to increase this to 5 million barrels per day (790×10^³ m³/d) by 2014. The UAE's reserves-to-production is about 93 years.^[1]
