Project Profile
Location: Sharjah, UAE
import capacity: 3-4 million tonnes
Send-out capacity: 500 to 1000 MMscfd
Start-up: 2021 (Phase 1)
Sharjah National Oil Corporation (SNOC) and Uniper plan to start importing liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Sharjah through a joint venture company starting early 2019. The import project will have a capacity of 3-4 million tons LNG per annum (mmtpa) and a send out capacity range of 500 to 1000 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd).the LNG import project would provide required volumes to supply a gas storage complex that would satisfy summer peak demand. SNOC plans to implement the project in phases, with a target start date of the first phase in 2021. Currently, SNOC is conducting a gas storage pilot test using existing infrastructure to optimize the final project design.
