“The acquisition of the Ghasha Concession, a significant natural gas field, marks an important step in strengthening PTTEP’s Middle East investment portfolio. Additionally, the proximity of the concession location will pave the way for further collaboration among the joint venture partners that will be beneficial to the project achievement,” said Mr. Montri.
Located offshore in the western part of Abu Dhabi, the Ghasha Concession is set to produce more than 1,500 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of gas before the end of the decade. Moreover, the project will capture 1.5 million metric tons per annum (MMtpa) of carbon dioxide as it aims to operate with net zero emissions.
The Ghasha Concession Area is situated in the proximity of Offshore Blocks 1, 2 and 3 where PTTEP holds a participating interest in these exploration concessions.
In addition, PTTEP also participates in Sharjah Onshore Area A Project, Sharjah Onshore Area C Project, and ADNOC Gas Processing (AGP) Joint Venture.
