Eni strengthens its presence in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah through the award of Onshore Block 7 Ras Al Khaimah (United Arab Emirates), 19 April 2021 – Eni, through its subsidiary Eni RAK, has been awarded Block 7 located in the onshore of Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates. The Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement was signed between the Chairman of Eni RAK, Fuad Krekshi, and the Chief Executive of the Ras Al Khaimah Petroleum Authority, Nishant Dighe, in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council of the UAE and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah. Block 7 covers an area of 430 km2 onshore Ras Al Khaimah. Eni RAK will act as Operator of the Block with a 90% participating interest and Ras Al Khaimah’s National Oil Company RAK Gas as a partner with a 10% stake. Block 7 represents an underexplored acreage in a complex thrust belt geological setting, similar to that of the recent discovery of Mahani in the adjacent Sharjah Emirate. The newly acquired 3D seismic will allow the joint venture to assess the geological setting of the area and eventually unlock its hydrocarbon potential. The presence of the existing gas processing facilities in the Emirate would also allow a rapid development of any discoveries. Eni is already present in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah operating Offshore Block A where, after an initial geological and geophysical study period, preparations for drilling operations have started. The acquisition of Block 7 represents another step in Eni’s positioning in the Middle East and in the UAE in particular, where Eni holds the largest exploration acreage among the IOCs present in the country with more than 26,000 km2 gross, comprising eight exploration blocks onshore and in shallow waters offshore across the Emirates of Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah and Sharjah.

Rough Sheller's Guide
A ROUGH SHELLER’S GUIDE TO THE NORTHERN EMIRATES Introduction When I first came to the Gulf in 1987, there was no single book to which one could refer for the easy identification of local seashells. The Bosch book, “Seashells of Oman” published in 1982 was a help (if you knew it existed), but it was only in 1989 that the soft back “Seashells of Southern Arabia” made its first appearance. It’s now out of print, and the nomenclature for some has changed, but I still have my original copy, much thumbed, battered and treasured. It was the first publication dedicated to the shells of the area, and made field identification so much easier. In 1995, “Seashells of Eastern Arabia” was published. While it is, and probably always will be, the definitive reference book for all serious or semi-serious shell collectors in the Emirates, its very range meant the inclusion of species not found in specifically UAE waters. But, none of these publications told collectors WHERE to go. It was like telling birders there were vultures to be seen in the Emirates, but not that the top of Jebel Hafit was the place to go! My work is not a shell reference guide to replace “Seashells of Eastern Arabia”. Nothing can. Its function is to help shell collectors, principally those of my fellow members of the Dubai Natural History Group, find the beaches they want to access, and to help select beaches on which to collect particular varieties of shells. To help pick the best times of the year, or the tide, on which to visit, and how to take care of specimens once collected.

Predicting Sea-Level Rise in Al Hamra Development, Ras Al Khaimah, UAE
Int. J. of Sustainable Water & Environmental Systems Volume 7, No. 2 (2015) 75-82 Predicting Sea-Level Rise in Al Hamra Development, Ras Al Khaimah, UAE Robert M. Arthur *,a, and G. G. Garland b a American University of Ras Al Khaimah UAE, b Independent Coastal Management Consultant, UAE Abstract The Al Hamra development in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah is situated along the south-eastern coast of the Arabian Gulf. The development fronts the Gulf along a 5 km. stretch of sandy beach and, as it includes 5 hotels, numerous villas and condos, represents a significant investment. Such an investment requires long-term strategies to minimize risk from sea level rise. As IPCC reports continue to be updated with new information, predictions of sea level rise have been revised upward. In order to plan for the protection of these, and other developments, accurate information needs to be supplied to those involved in planning adaptation strategies. This paper seeks to quantify and map the potential area subject to inundation up to the year 2099. Using the highest inundation scenario, a GIS map of inundation will be created. Other factors, such as high tides, storm surge and extreme wave events will see water levels increased beyond the predicted sea level scenarios indicating greater risk of flooding. This project will use LiDAR data in a GIS environment to provide the most accurate elevation data. Other layers showing buildings assist in visualizing future vulnerability to sea level rise. This coastline is heavily developed with construction underway for more resort developments. As the risk from sea level rise evolves over a long time period, planners require accurate information that can be easily updated in order to react to revised predictions.

Because the quantitative accuracy of such products is aﬀected by numerous factors related to atmospheric and terrain properties, validating them over diﬀerent regions and environments is needed. This study investigated the performance of two high-resolution global satellite-based precipitation products: the climate prediction center MORPHing technique (CMORPH) and the latest version of the Integrated Multi-SatellitE Retrievals for the Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) algorithm (IMERG), V06, over the United Arab Emirates from 2010 through 2018. The estimates of the products and that of 71 in situ rain gauges distributed across the country were compared by employing several common quantitative, categorical, and graphical statistical measures at daily, event-duration, and annual temporal scales, and at the station and study area spatial scales.
