John Barry, the company’s chairman in Abu Dhabi also said that Shell wants to participate in a new natural-gas project in the Gulf emirate, aimed at meetingthe rising domestic demand for the fuel.
He added that Shell is currently targeting the renewal of oil rights in Abu Dhabi and in maintaining its 15 percent stake in Abu Dhabi Gas Industries (GASCO) which is developing the Abu Dhabi’s onshore gas reserves.
