Jordan takes a crucial step forward in its energy strategy with the launch of its first liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification terminal in Aqaba.
The project, awarded to GAS Entec and AG&P, aims to meet the country’s growing need for natural gas, while reducing its dependence on pipeline imports, which are often vulnerable to disruption.
The terminal’s planned 720 mmscfd capacity is designed to offer supply flexibility by enabling Jordan to import LNG from multiple suppliers around the world.
The onshore terminal, the first of its kind in Jordan, is part of a wider plan to strengthen the country’s energy infrastructure.
The project includes engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning, as well as marine facilities and quay structures.
Commissioning is scheduled for the second quarter of 2026, a key deadline for securing the country’s energy needs.

Flexible and secure supplies

This LNG terminal represents a significant step forward for Jordan, enabling it to diversify its sources of natural gas supply.
Until now, the country has relied on pipelines to import gas, a mode of supply that presents risks in terms of reliability and safety.
With this terminal, Jordan will be able to access a wider range of international suppliers, reducing supply risks and improving national energy security.
GAS Entec and AG&P, chosen by Aqaba Development Corporation (ADC), stand out for their technical expertise and ability to deliver complex infrastructures.
Their approach is to model and prefabricate critical components in South Korea, minimizing lead times and optimizing costs.
This project strengthens the position of both companies in the field of LNG infrastructure, while meeting the specific needs of Jordan.

Economic and strategic impact

In addition to energy security, this project will have a major impact on the Jordanian economy.
By guaranteeing a stable source of natural gas, it will promote the development of the country’s industrial and commercial sectors.
Jordan, which is seeking to attract more foreign investment, sees the terminal as a key infrastructure to support sustainable growth.
For GAS Entec and AG&P, this project represents a strategic opportunity to strengthen their global presence in the LNG sector.
With a portfolio of projects in Indonesia, the Philippines and other markets, this new contract testifies to their ability to assert themselves on critical projects on an international scale.
