The energy sector is at the heart of the global economy. The surge in energy resources is experiencing unprecedented expansion. This growth is supported by its world-class industrial cities that include not only a full-service port but also a residential community with many facilities. These factors have contributed to increasing investment in the sector and attracting several multinational energy companies.
What's happening
Liquefied Natural Gas Expansion
One of our partners announced in February 2021 that it would build the world’s largest LNG project, including significant carbon capture and sequestration capacity. The world’s largest LNG project will increase the country’s LNG production capacity from 77 million tonnes per annum (MMTPA) to 110 MMTPA. In addition to LNG, the project will produce condensate, LPG, ethane, sulfur, and helium. Production is expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2025, and its total output will reach approximately 1.4 million barrels of oil equivalent per day.
