Transportation is carried out by oil tankers and ships to Japan, South Korea, Thailand, the countries of Western Europe and the USA  and many more. For the production of electric energy, Natural gas is the major resource. The continuous consumption of fuel over the volumes of natural gas production can create scarcity.

The rigorous population growth always encourages the government to increase the volumes of the produced gas, and meanwhile also promotes the discovery of new alternative energy sources. Today, natural gas in the Emirates is used not only for the production of electrical energy but also used in the process for producing oil and for desalination of water resources

Despite the fact that the gas production in the UAE is of a relatively high cost and demand from all over the globe and there are certain difficulties queries for the extraction and production volumes are characterized by the annual growth.
