TAQA means energy in Arabic and this Abu Dhabi firm has diverse interests in the sector, from wind farms in the US to coal-fired power generation in Morocco. Al Hajeri’s firm has witnessed a turnaround after losing $6bn in 2016 due to asset depreciation. Last year’s $45mn profit resulted partly from higher oil prices. TAQA pumps around 130,000 bpd from fields in the likes of the North Sea and the US while the Atrush Block in Northern Iraq came on-stream in 2017.
