OMV and Cepsa of Spain, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mubadala Investment Co. of Abu Dhabi, each owns a 20% interest in the concession, which covers Umm Lulu and SARB fields as well as the Bin Nasher and Al Bateel satellites (OGJ Online, Apr. 5, 2018). ADNOC Offshore operates the concession with a 60% interest.

The fields are in shallow water, Umm Lulu 30 km and SARB 120 km off the Abu Dhabi coast. Their production flows by pipeline to dedicated processing, storage, and loading facilities on Zirku Island.

Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. and partners in the former concession, Japan Oil Development Co., BP PLC, and Total SA, began early production from Umm Lulu in 2014 (OGJ Online, Oct. 20, 2014).
