(MENAFN) Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development said that between 2005 and 2010, investments in the emirate’s oil sector grew by around 6 times, due to a rise in spending on oilfield development plans and an increase in investment in fixed assets in oil equipment, reported Emirates 24/7.
The department added that the rise in investments was accompanied with a surge in crude prices, which increased the sector’s contribution to gross domestic product (GDP) in 2010 to USD83.8 billion from USD4.21 billion in 2005.
It also said that during the period between 2005 and 2011, Abu Dhabi pumped more than USD10 billion into crude capacity expansion projects, which targeted its onshore and offshore areas.
