LINE OF BUSINESS

 

 

Operations : The Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO) operates onshore and in shallow coastal water of the Emirates of Abu Dhabi.

 

The original concession agreement was made with Petroleum Development (Trucial Coast) Ltd on 11th January 1939 but geological work did not begin until after the Second World War. Exploratory drilling began in Abu Dhabi in February 1950. The first commercial discovery was made at Bab in 1958 and exports began from the Jebel Dhanna terminal on 14th December 1963.

 

In 1962 the company was renamed the Abu Dhabi Petroleum Company (ADPC). On 1st January 1973 the Abu Dhabi government acquired a 25% interest that was increased to 60% a year later. The government interest is held by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).

 

Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO) was incorporated under Law No 14 for 1978 and has been responsible since February 1979 for operations in the concession area, which now covers more than 21,000 square kilometres.

 

The company produces from five oil fields; Asab, Bab, Bu Hasa, Sahil and Shah. The fields are linked by more than 450 kilometres of pipeline, with storage and shipping facilities at Jebel Dhanna, where tankers load crude oil for markets in many parts of the world.

 

In 1991 an exploration programme resulted in additions being made to ADCO’s reserves. By the end of that year ADCO was operating eight land rigs, which were engaged in exploration and development drilling and work over operations.

 

During 1998, Sahil oil field was developed and ADCO increased the operating land rigs to 12, all owned by the National Drilling Company.

 

Import Countries : United States of America, Europe and the Far East.

 

Operating Trend : Steady

 

Subject has a workforce of approximately 2,000 employees.

GENERAL COMMENTS

 

Incorporated in 1978, the Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO) operates onshore and in shallow coastal water of the Emirates of Abu Dhabi.

 

The company is partly owned by ADNOC, which is among the top ten oil producers in the world and wholly owned by the Abu Dhabi government.

 

According to local sources subject’s operating history is clear with no problems noted regarding the manner in which payment obligations are met. We are of the opinion that the subject would not enter into financial transactions it could not see its way to fulfil. As such the above credit figure is considered to be within subject’s financial means.
