Energy Minister: Risha gas to reach 418M cf/d by 2029
Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Saleh Khourabishah stated that the Risha field's natural gas production is expected to reach approximately 418 million cubic feet per day by 2029. In comparison, Jordan's electricity system requires around 330 to 340 million cubic feet per day. The ministry is working on implementing a plan to deliver natural gas to various industrial clusters within three years, aiming to provide affordable energy and enhance reliance on local gas instead of diesel and heavy fuel oil. The targeted areas include industrial zones such as Aqaba, AlQuweirah, AlQasţal, AlHashmiya, and Ma'an, with studies underway to connect gas to Mafraq and Zarka. Additionally, plans include the construction of pipelines to transport gas produced from Risha to the main gas lines. The Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plant is part of the infrastructure that enables the conversion of imported LNG into pipeline-quality gas, serving as an alternative to the continuous hiring of an offshore LNG carrier.
