Introduction

The United Arab Emirates is the most powerful country at the Middle East. Together with some other countries, it exports 65 % of world needs for oil and gas gaily, therefore, political stability of the country is vitally important for the whole Middle East; it is also the issue of concern for many other countries like the United States of America, China, Russia, and many European countries.

Political stability of The United Arab Emirates depends upon economy politics which are developed and implemented by the government.

The tradition of production of energy is continued in the country as it contributes to development of the economy of the United Arab Emirates, it also impacts the process of acceleration of the development of additional reserves of hydrocarbon; moreover, implementation and development of alternative sources of energy are also dependent upon usage of traditional energy.

The United Arab Emirates continue increase of oil products production and supply to the global markets. Moreover, within the last 5 years the production and supply of oil products increased by 30 per cent. The increase can be seen on the graph below:
