Saudi Aramco has announced significant progress in its gas expansion strategy with the start of production at Jafurah Field, the Middle East's largest unconventional gas field, and the commencement of operations at Tanajib Gas Plant. These projects are central to Saudi Aramco's plan to increase sales gas production capacity by approximately 80% by 2030, aiming for 6 million barrels of oil equivalent per day of total gas and associated liquids production. This expansion is projected to generate $12 billion to $15 billion in incremental operating cash flows by 2030. Gas from Jafurah Field will support Saudi Arabia's growth ambitions across key sectors like energy, AI, and petrochemicals, solidifying its position as a top 10 gas producer. Saudi Aramco has already sold several cargoes of Jafurah condensate to international buyers including Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Indian Oil Corporation.
