Oil & gas and renewable energy — structuring, investment and regulatory advisory for the UAE energy sector and its transition.
A sector at the centre of the UAE.
Energy is the foundation of the UAE economy and remains one of its most active arenas for international participation. The emirate continues to attract global contractors, investors and operators across the full spectrum — hydrocarbons, infrastructure, and an ambitious and well-funded renewable energy programme.
Government contract advisory.
PAAD's primary focus in the energy sector is advising international contractors seeking to win and execute government energy contracts in the UAE — drilling, EPC, infrastructure and related services across oil, gas and energy transition projects. We bring deep experience in contract negotiation, bid processes and the regulatory requirements that govern participation in UAE government procurement.
Relationships and local knowledge.
Success in the UAE energy sector depends on relationships and an understanding of how decisions are made within government and its affiliated entities. PAAD has built those relationships over decades and understands the procurement landscape, the key decision makers and the processes that govern major energy contracts.
Long-term engagement.
Energy projects in the UAE operate on long timelines. PAAD works with clients on a project-by-project basis, and many of those engagements extend over several years. We consider our clients' success our own, and we structure our involvement accordingly.
Renewable energy.
The UAE's renewable energy ambitions are substantial and government-backed. PAAD advises international companies seeking to participate in the UAE's clean energy programme — solar, hydrogen and related infrastructure — with the same depth of local knowledge and relationship capital that underpins our hydrocarbon sector work.
