Shell's Upstream International Middle East Region looks after assets in the Middle East and North Africa, with key existing operations in Oman, Abu Dhabi, Egypt, Iran, Oman, Iraq and Kuwait. We are currently exploring further opportunities in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Turkey and are also represented in Tunisia, and Algeria. The businesses of the region represent a mix of (1) mature assets in countries like Oman,and Egypt with robust cash generation and a key focus on Operational Excellence and Competitive Costs, as well as (2) an unprecedented number of growth opportunities in Iraq, Enhanced Oil Recovery in Oman, as well as significant exploration potential.
The region is characterized by both its wide geographical/cultural spread and the complexity of the business relationships with host Governments and JV partners.
