SEWA completes natural gas network in Umm Fannain

Strategic infrastructure and future expansion

Engineer Ibrahim Al Balghouni, Director of the Natural Gas Department at SEWA, stated that the establishment of a fully integrated natural gas distribution network across the Emirate of Sharjah constitutes a solid and advanced infrastructure. This network plays a key role in supporting the Emirate’s continuous growth and development.

He highlighted that the project has achieved significant success, and efforts are ongoing to expand the number of beneficiaries who can rely on natural gas as a safer and more sustainable alternative to gas cylinders. Natural gas offers several advantages, including being environmentally friendly, available 24/7, and ensuring a high level of safety.

SEWA applies the most rigorous international standards in safety, quality, and specifications when it comes to network installation, while also offering competitive pricing compared to traditional cylinder use.

He further explained that SEWA’s strategic plan is focused on delivering natural gas to all regions within the Emirate of Sharjah. As part of this plan, the Authority is conducting ongoing studies to establish new stations and carry out network installations throughout Sharjah city. The goal is to extend natural gas services to every district and newly developed area. He also noted that the Authority’s gas pumping stations are equipped with the capacity to handle any future expansion in natural gas usage.
