Jafurah Shale Gas Development Project

under construction

The Jafurah project is a natural gas megaproject in the Arabian Desert southeast of Saudi Arabia's Ghawar oilfield. It involves deploying advanced drilling technology including walking rigs to speed up drilling and well completions. The project aims to boost Saudi Arabia's gas production and revenues, supporting the Vision 2030 agenda to diversify the economy by replacing crude oil used for domestic power generation with natural gas. The project targets 2 billion standard cubic feet per day of gas, 420 million standard cubic feet per day of ethane, and 630,000 barrels per day of associated liquids by 2030.
