Saudi- Midyan gas field project on track

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Saudi Arabia's Midyan gas field project in the Red Sea is expected to produce 75m cubic feet of gas per day, Saudi Aramco's chief executive said. Saudi Arabia is trying to boost its gas production quickly enough to meet rapidly rising domestic power demand and feed its booming petrochemical industry. "The field development of Midyan is going ahead steadily as planned in all respects," Khalid Al Falih said. Gas from Midyan will be pumped to the province of Duba to feed new power stations planned by the Saudi Electricity Company and Aramco, Al Falih said.
