Overview

The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (“ADNOC”) is the state-owned oil company of the United Arab Emirates.  According to the Oil & Gas Journal, as of January, 2015, the UAE holds the seventh-largest known oil reserves in the world at an astonishing 97.8 billion barrels, with most of these reserves located in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.

The Shah Gas field is a UAE natural gas field discovered in 1967, with gas and condensate extraction commencing in 2014.

In 2016, Kingston was awarded a case management consultancy contract by Union Properties (Thermo) for the Shah Gas field to compile a claim against the contractor for a multimillion USD claim.

Later on, in 2017, Kingston concluded the pleading, disclosure and discovery before the Centre for Amicable Settlement of Disputes, Dubai Courts, and won an interim judgment in favor of Thermo.  Afterwards, Kingston proceeded with the motion and trial before the Abu Dhabi Commercial Court.
