The Middle East remains a critical region within the global energy landscape, with the Arabian Gulf and its margins destined to remain a key contributor to global production for decades to come.
In 2025 we opened our Abu Dhabi office, acting as the base of our Middle East legal entity, PetroStrat Consultancy LLC. From our Abu Dhabi office we provide direct, responsive service to both national and international operators across the Middle East. With our local presence, you benefit from streamlined access to our regional experts, available to offer dedicated support for every phase of your project. Like our headquarters in the UK and other international offices, our Abu Dhabi team operates with the same scientific rigour and commitment to integration, ensuring that local clients benefit from both global experience and regional insight.
