Direct Investment - Middle East Private Equity

RAK PETROLEUM COMPANY
RAK Petroleum, established in 2005 with a capital of AED 5 billion, was set up with the objective of initiating, participating, investing and developing energy-related projects, assets, ventures and businesses in GCC and international markets. The capital has been subscribed to by leading institutions from the UAE, GCC and beyond, in addition to local and regional high net-worth individuals and strategic partners.

RAK Petroleum transformed itself in late 2011 from an active exploration and production company with operations in seven concessions across three Middle East-North Africa countries to an investment vehicle by merging its oil and gas assets into DNO International ASA which is a Norwegian-listed company. Currently, RAK Petroleum holds 42.8% of DNO shares. With its experienced management team, the Company is focused on supporting DNO International’s growth strategies while looking for other attractively priced energy portfolios where RAK Petroleum’s regional expertise and roots can help unlock value.

The Government of Ras Al Khaimah has been a key promoter of RAK Petroleum and is also a strategic investor. Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani is the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the company. Starling is a founder investor.
