DUBAI, United Arab Emirates: Oil industry service provider Petrofac and the Abu Dhabi state investment firm Mubadala say they plan to establish a new energy-related joint venture in the oil-rich emirate.

The new company, to be called Petrofac Emirates, will provide engineering and construction services for onshore oil and gas, refining and petrochemical projects throughout the United Arab Emirates. The Emirates are one of the world's largest producers of oil.
