(MENAFN) The Minister of Energy of the UAE, Mohammad Bin Dha’en Al Hameli, said that the country’s oil production is currently around 2.2 million barrels of oil per day (bpd), complying the goal set by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec), reported Gulf News.

Al Hameli said that the country’s current oil production capacity amounted to 2.8 million barrels per day.

Speaking about the political unrest in Egypt, the minister said that the protests led to oil prices going up to above USD100 a barrel.
