what happened
Sharjah National Oil Corporation (SNOC) said it has entered a memorandum of understanding with Norway's Equinor. The two companies intend to examine joint opportunities in the midstream and downstream parts of the energy industry.
Under the document, they will assess possible cooperation on warehousing, infrastructure, transport, trading, supply and maritime carriage of LPG, NGL and other oil and gas products.
why it matters
Agreements of this kind usually focus on logistics and trading rather than production, so on their own they do not change crude oil volumes. For LPG and NGL markets, a closer tie between a UAE producer and a major Norwegian group could over time affect shipping routes and terminal operations.
