Aqaba Development Corp. (ADC) has let a contract to a consortium of LNG infrastructure company GAS Entec and its group company AG&P International, along with local partners Issa Haddadin, to build an onshore LNG regasification terminal at Port of Aqaba in the Kingdom of Jordan.
Scope of the work for the Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al Sabah terminal encompasses full engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning (EPCIC) of a 720 MMcfd terminal, marine works, jetty topside work, and other associated components. It is expected to be completed, commissioned, and delivered within 22 months, GAS Entec said in a release Aug. 20.
Jordan relies heavily on natural gas for its power and industrial needs but faces challenges with supply reliability, GAS Entec said. The new, permanent LNG terminal will provide Jordan with the flexibility to access LNG from various global suppliers.
ADC, the state-owned infrastructure company, will be the customer for the terminal, which is expected to be commissioned in second-quarter 2026.
