crude prices averaged their highest ever in July at $135.68 per barrel, in line with the soaring international prices at the time that touched an all-time high of $147.27 on July 11. However, since then, global oil prices have fallen below $90 due to the global economic turmoil, and Europe and Japan are widely feared to be slipping into recession.
However, the global oil prices are still strong and the UAE's oil export revenue is expected to cross the $100 billion mark this year.
Abu Dhabi's production accounts for nearly 94 per cent of the UAE's crude output.
The UAE's output currently is about 2.66 million barrels per day.
