Seems like Dubai has 4 billion barrels of reserves [0]. Not as much as they once did and much less than Abu Dhabi. But still quite a few years worth of oil left.

For the UAE overall crude oil makes up 28% of exports:

and Refined petroleum 15%

If you want to see an Arab country that has run out of oil, look at Yemen.


My understanding is that Yemen has lots of reserves at 8 billion barrels [0] but never really produced or imported.

So aren’t they a better example of never oil rather than once had oil?
