Sharjah [UAE], Sharjah Petroleum Council (SPC), a Government of Sharjah undertaking, has announced the discovery of new gas reserves in economically viable quantities in the Al Hadiba field, located north of the Al Saja Industrial Zone in Sharjah. It was discovered after Sharjah National Oil Corporation (SNOC) drilled a well over the past few months, and the well will be tested in the coming days to confirm the volume and potential gas reserves of the field for development. It is noteworthy that Al Hadiba is the fifth onshore field in Sharjah apart from Al-Sajah, Kahif, Mahani and Muedh fields (which have been converted into gas storage fields).
