Sept 2 (Reuters) - EOG Resources ( EOG ) CEO Ezra Yacob

confirmed on Tuesday that the company's project with the Abu

Dhabi National Oil Company is running on schedule, with ADNOC

drilling horizontal wells and testing oil to the surface at a

shale block in the United Arab Emirates.

Houston-based EOG Resources ( EOG ) operates the block and had

expected to begin drilling in the Al Dhafra region of Abu Dhabi

in the second half of 2025.

EOG also entered Bahrain's upstream sector earlier this

year, signing a gas exploration deal with Bahrain's state-owned

Bapco Energies.

Bapco has horizontally tested gas to the surface at the

onshore gas prospect, Yacob added at the Barclays CEO

Energy-Power Conference in New York.
