Royal Focus on Natural Gas Security
The natural gas file in Jordan has become a direct focus of His Majesty King Abdullah II, who closely monitors the government's plans to develop the gas sector, increase Risha field's production, and connect it to the Arab Gas Pipeline. The aim is to enhance energy security and reduce the country’s reliance on imports. These plans target raising Risha field's production to 418 million standard cubic feet per day by 2030, and then to 810 million standard cubic feet by 2035. They also seek to improve the efficiency of gas use in industry and electricity generation while reducing costs, as switching to gas can save up to 50% compared to traditional fuels. This royal interest reflects Jordan’s strategy to achieve full energy independence and greater resilience in the face of market disruptions, through building an integrated gas network and expanding gas use across industrial, commercial, and residential sectors. Additionally, it supports projects to attract investments and ensure sufficient quantities for economic development.
