The Natural Resources & Energy (NRE) sector remains one of the UAE’s most strategic industries driving economic growth, industrial diversification, and the country’s transition towards a more sustainable future. It spans a wide range of areas including oil and gas, power and utilities, renewables, petrochemicals, mining, and waste management.

With oil and gas contributing nearly 30% of the UAE’s GDP and the nation targeting 50% clean energy production by 2050, the sector is both an economic engine and a platform for innovation and transformation. Backed by vast hydrocarbon reserves and world-leading clean energy infrastructure, the UAE is positioning itself as a global energy leader.

At BDO UAE, we serve clients across the NRE sector through our full range of professional services including financial auditing, tax consulting and compliance, business valuations, forensic accounting, financial outsourcing, merger and acquisition, due diligence, plus advisory on complex matters, including transaction advisory services, revenue recognition,  reserve estimations, technology issues, and risk management.

In addition to these core services, we provide sector-specific advisory support tailored to the technical, operational, and regulatory needs of NRE businesses. Our specialist teams work across the full value chain from exploration and production to power distribution, waste treatment, and mineral processing.

We help organisations manage risk, improve performance, strengthen compliance, and align with ESG and sustainability goals through practical, industry-led solutions.
