Background
In 2017, the LNG import project was launched as a joint venture between Sharjah National Oil Corporation (60 percent) and Uniper (40 percent). The terminal was expected to have an import capacity of 1 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd). The project was initially scheduled to start operations in 2019.[1]
In 2019, Sharjah National Oil Corporation (SNOC) decided to retain 100 percent of the equity of the Sharjah LNG terminal project after the cancellation of its joint venture with Germany-based energy company Uniper. At the same time, SNOC announced 2020 as the new expected start year.[1][3]
In March 2020, SNOC said that it had put the Sharjah FSRU Terminal project on hold to focus on developing the Mahani gas field.[2] As of 2024, the project is presumed to be cancelled.
