Gas will begin to flow in the last quarter of next year.

Construction of a 30-inch, 80km pipeline will start in May, the sources added.


The project’s customers are mainly in Sharjah and the northern emirates.

The emirate will procure gas from at least two sources.

The Dh400 million Sajgas project is a new joint venture between the government of Sharjah, Crescent Petroleum in the emirate and six other Gulf investors.

Sajgas has started work on the processing plant.

Some 600 million cubic feet of gas will be transported from the Mubarak field to the sajgas plant through Hamriyah.
