Gulf Today, Staff Reporter

The Sharjah Petroleum Council, a Government of Sharjah undertaking, has announced the discovery of new gas reserves in the Al Hadiba field, located north of the Al Sajaa Industrial Area in Sharjah, in promising economically viable quantities.

The new field was discovered after the Sharjah National Oil Corporation (SNOC) drilled a well over the past few months, and the well will be tested in the days ahead to confirm the quantities and potential gas reserves of the field for development.

It is worth mentioning that the Al Hadiba field is the fifth onshore field in Sharjah, in addition to the Al Saja’a, Kahif, Mahani and Muayed (which has been converted into a gas storage field) fields.

Meanwhile, Sheikh Sultan Bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah has congratulated His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, on the discovery of the gas reserves.

Writing on his social media platform X, Sheikh Sultan Bin Ahmed said, “We congratulate His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah on the Sharjah Oil Council’s announcement of the new gas discovery in the Hadiba field. May God make it good and a blessing for Sharjah, its people and its lovers.”
