Al Hosn Gas has undertaken the project of developing the Shah Arab field sour

gas reservoir. This program has been designated as the Shah Gas Development

(SGD) Project. The Field is a large anticline oriented along a NE-SW axis and is

located 210 km southwest of Abu Dhabi City.

The SGD Project represents a new era in gas development in Abu Dhabi. The

sheer size of the facility and equipment, in addition to the high technology that is

used to process the gas and the complexity in constructing such large facility

will set a new benchmark in the industry. The facilities will be designed to

process approximately 1,000 MMSCFD of feed gas. The facilities are located in

the Liwa Western Region and will play a major role in the economy of the

region by providing attractive career and training opportunities for UAE

nationals and developing local supporting industries and businesses.
