What happens when a critical energy sector is governed not by a single authority, but through a balance of constitutional powers, emirate-level control, and federal regulation?
In this episode, we unpack the legal framework governing the UAE’s oil and gas sector—from constitutional ownership under Article 23 to federal oversight of petroleum trading, environmental compliance, and corporate taxation. We also examine ADNOC’s central role in shaping operations, regulation, and strategy across the industry.
The discussion highlights how these laws apply in practice, including compliance requirements, licensing, and the impact of the UAE’s evolving corporate tax regime. As regulatory expectations continue to develop, understanding this framework is essential for legal professionals, investors, and industry stakeholders.
Tune in for a clear and practical overview of how law and governance shape the UAE’s oil and gas landscape.
