Sir Abu Nu’ayr ((アラビア語:أبو صير نعير), also romanized as Sir Abu Neir, Sir Bu Nair, or Sir Bu Nuair) is an island in the Persian Gulf. Lying off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, roughly north of Abu Dhabi city, and west of Dubai, it belongs to the Emirate of Sharjah. Sir Abu Nu’ayr is almost perfectly round with a diameter of four kilometers, and a one kilometer long extension at its southeast end, making the shape of the whole island appear as a drop. Sir Abu Nu’ayr is a salt-piercement structure formed by the movement of Cambrian (Hormuz) salt. Salt deposited of Cambrian age has moved progressively upward, puncturing through the younger overlying strata to create a salt dome structure. Surface expressions are composed of evaporites rocks, plus igneous rocks and quartzitic sandstone. Sharjah has a small harbor and an airfield both located at the island's southeast end. Crescent Petroleum is the concession holder of the Sir Abu Nu’ayr area. The acreage is flanked to the NNE by Dubai's Fateh Oil Field complex, to the north by the Sirri Island oil field of Iran and to the west by the prolific oil and gas fields of Abu Dhabi. The island, an environmentally protected area under the Sharjah Environment and Protected Areas Authority (EPAA), has been registered on the list of wetlands of international importance under the Ramsar Convention, and was in 2012 listed as a potential UNESCO World Heritage Site. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sir Abu Nu’ayr」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
