Omar Albadour, Head of Energy Unit, ADC said, "We are privileged to have reputed LNG Infrastructure partners like GAS Entec and AG&P to deliver this strategic project, which shall be a milestone in our country's continued transition towards reliable energy. We look forward to the project's commissioning by Q2 2026."

The Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al Sabah onshore regasification LNG Terminal Project will enhance GAS Entec and AG&P's already esteemed profile as leading LNG terminal developers.
