Saudi Aramco's Jafurah Gas Plant Begins Output with 450 Million Cubic Feet Per Day

05/12/2025 03:13 AST

The first phase of oil giant Aramco's Jafurah gas plant is complete and production has begun with a capacity of 450 million cubic feet per day, the Saudi finance ministry said on Tuesday.

The finance ministry, in its 2026 budget statement, listed the milestone as an achievement reached in 2025.

Jafurah's gas output will be used for domestic power generation, freeing up crude for export that is currently used for power in the kingdom.

Aramco has said its unconventional gas program at peak production is expected to generate electricity equivalent to displacing 500,000 barrels per day of oil.

The $100 billion Jafurah project, estimated to contain 229 trillion standard cubic feet of raw gas, is central to Aramco's ambitions to become a major global player in natural gas and boost its gas production capacity.

Aramco's gas production was 12.6 billion cubic feet per day at the end of September, up from 12 bcfd a year earlier.

Aramco last month said it was boosting its gas growth target to 80% above 2021 levels from a previous targeted growth of 60%.

In its 2021 annual report, Aramco said it reached a single-day record gas output at the time of 10.8 bcfd.

Aramco CEO Amin Nasser, who has called Jafurah a crown jewel in the company's portfolio, said during an earnings call last month the first phase was on track for completion by the end of this year.
