GAS Entec and AG&P to build strategic LNG terminal in Kingdom of Jordan

Leading LNG Infrastructure company GAS Entec with its group company AG&P and local partners Issa Haddadin, together referred to as the consortium, has been awarded a contract to build Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al Sabah onshore regasification LNG terminal at the Port of Aqaba in the Kingdom of Jordan. The tender was awarded to the consortium by Aqaba Development Corporation (ADC), the state-owned infrastructure company and the customer for the facility.

The project's scope encompasses full engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) of a 720-MMft³d onshore LNG regasification facility, marine works, jetty topside work and other associated components and shall be completed, commissioned and delivered within 22 months.

Widely regarded as the most significant energy project in Jordan, the terminal shall play a crucial role in enhancing the national economy, trade and services environment while bolstering Jordan's energy security.

Jordan relies heavily on natural gas for its power and industrial needs but faces challenges with supply reliability. The new LNG terminal will provide Jordan with the flexibility to access LNG from various global suppliers, ensuring a stable and secure energy source.

GAS Entec and AG&P were selected from a competitive pool of companies based on their robust credentials and a cost-effective solution leveraging GAS Entec's state-of-the-art technology of modularizing and fabricating key regasification components in Korea and transporting them to project sites worldwide.

This prestigious award marks a significant milestone for GAS Entec and AG&P and underscores their global standing in the LNG industry.
