With the addition of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the bloc has become one of the leading collective of oil producers on the globe.
Furthermore, reports estimate that the findings will ultimately yield more than 2- million cubic meters of crude oil, and 11 billion cubic meters of natural gas. Indeed, the oilfield located in the Bohai Sea has been explored since it was first discovered last year. Subsequently, more than 80 deep wells from various oil companies had previously failed to uncover the massive oilfield.
