The first maritime oil field in Abu Dhabi is the Umm Shaif field, discovered in 1958. Located about 90 kilometers northwest of Abu Dhabi city, it was significant for marking the beginning of offshore oil production in the region. The field has been a crucial contributor to the emirate's oil output and overall economic development. Its discovery paved the way for further exploration and development of offshore oil resources in the Arabian Gulf.
