Negotiations for exploration and production acreage are conducted directly with the Governments of the individual Emirates or with the Petroleum Councils where they exist. Detailed fiscal terms are negotiable on a case-by-case basis. Although rare, a direct state participation option is limited to Abu Dhabi and Sharjah where the State can exercise a participation option of up to 60%; to date, this option has only been exercised on three occasions.
