Off-shore reserves will account for approximately 50 per cent of the total oil production in Abu Dhabi by 2018 as a result of continued investments in production capacity, experts said, as the emirate gears up to host the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (Adipec) in November.
