Hadebah Field is the fifth onshore gas and condensate field in Sharjah and the second discovery in the past five years, reflecting the continued success of Sharjah’s exploration efforts.

"This achievement marks a significant step forward in the field’s development following the discovery of the first well, 'Hadebah-01' in 2024, which confirmed the presence of gas and associated liquids within geological formations known as the Thamama," the Sharjah Media Office added.
