Aramco Advances Gas Expansion with Jafurah and Tanajib Projects

Jafurah Project

Aramco has commenced production at Jafurah, the Middle East's largest unconventional gas field. By 2030, Jafurah aims to deliver 2 billion standard cubic feet of sales gas per day, 420 million cubic feet of ethane per day, and approximately 630,000 barrels of high-value liquids per day. The field covers 17,000 square kilometers and contains an estimated 229 trillion cubic feet of raw gas and 75 billion barrels of condensate.

Tanajib Gas Plant

The Tanajib Gas Plant, one of the world's largest, began operations in December 2025. It is expected to reach a raw gas processing capacity of 2.6 billion standard cubic feet per day by 2026. The plant processes associated raw gas from crude oil production at the offshore Marjan and Zuluf oil fields.

Strategic Goals

Aramco's gas expansion strategy aims to increase sales gas production capacity by approximately 80% by 2030, compared to 2021 levels. This expansion is expected to generate incremental operating cash flows of $12 billion to $15 billion in 2030, subject to future sales gas demand and liquids prices.

Economic Impact

The gas expansion is anticipated to create thousands of direct and indirect job opportunities, supporting long-term economic growth. It also aims to enhance natural gas supplies to national industries and contribute to a more optimal energy mix for domestic electricity production, aligning with Saudi Arabia's 2060 net-zero ambition.
