Sharjah National Oil Corporation (SNOC) and Uniper signed a memorandum of understanding targeting LNG imports to the Port of Hamriyah in the Emirate of Sharjah in the UAE.
First gas deliveries should arrive into Sharjah in the spring of 2018, according to a statement by the Sharjah National Oil Corporation.
Gas will flow to the Sajaa gas field complex and further into the existing pipeline network throughout the Northern Emirates, to be marketed to existing consumers and new businesses.
John Roper , managing director & head of Middle East for Uniper Global Commodities, said the company will assist SNOC in developing the Port of Hamriyah to receive LNG cargoes and obtain supplies of energy from global LNG markets.
