The UAE’s oil and gas sector is a crowded space with giants like ADNOC and regional breakouts like Mubadala rubbing shoulders. But RAK Petroleum, under the guidance of the charismatic Rahmani, occupies its own niche. The firm has two principal interests consisting of a 40.45% share in Norwegian operator DNO, which produces more than 110,000 bpd across several regions and a 27.27% share in Cote d’Ivoire operator Foxtrot International which pumps 170mn cubic feet of gas per day.
