And most of the petroleum industry really would like the new UAE oil. Most out of the middle east is of poor quality due to their antiquated equipment. UAE has new equipment.
How does the age of the equipment change the quality of the oil?
Light sweet crude is not the same across the board.
Usually it's priced as "Brent" or "WTI". Now WTI (West Texas Intermediate) is usually cheaper but better quality (less water and contaminants) than Brent (which is what Middle East oil gets priced at.
The initial refining is supposed to remove the water and contaminants from the oil. And depending upon the source it will determine the final product such as gasoline or diesel, motor oil and lubricant or plastics. Texas produces a blend of diesel and motor oil...South America produces gasoline and the middle east produces motor oil like Africa does. Canada makes plastics.
All refining is usually done around 80% capacity in a normal basis to change seals and make repairs. Every 5-10 years you need a complete changeover. (Crude Oil is acidic and eats the plumbing) this is when newer refining tech is installed...new heat exchangers and flow and pressure and temperature sensors. Filters too.
UAE just had a complete rebuild (as usual budgeted schedule) but also increased capacity as the other surrounding nations are needing to have upgrades and need someone to keep producing.
