The Ministry of Energy announced that NATGAS won the tender to establish and operate a dry gas network in the Third Industrial City in Dammam.

NATGAS is licensed to establish a natural gas distribution network for factories located within the city.

According to a ministerial statement, Dammam’s Third Industrial City is one of the important industrial sites in the Kingdom, as there are currently about 176 existing or under construction factories, some of which will utilize dry gas as fuel for industrial furnaces, steam boilers, and others.

Saudi government is working hard to deliver dry gas and establish gas distribution networks in other industrial cities within the Kingdom.

It aims expand gas utilization instead of liquid fuels to achieve Liquid Fuel Displacement Program’s objectives in light of the Kingdom's Vision 2030.

According to Argaam data, the Ministry of Energy, in cooperation with Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (MODON), announced in October 2021, a public tender for a license to establish, own, and operate a dry gas network in the Third Industrial City in Dammam.
