In 1978, a team of Amoco engineers crisscrossed 600,000 acres of Sharjah’s desert pinning down the first gas discovery in Sharjah, the Sajaa Asset – a landmark that spurred major UAE energy developments.
By 1980, Sajaa-1 ranked among the UAE’s largest gas finds. The first condensate export in 1982 and gas sales to SEWA marked Sharjah’s commercial debut. Infrastructure grew with the establishment of Hamriyah’s LPG terminal in 1984, reinforcing Sharjah’s role in regional energy supply.
SNOC, formally established in 2010, now drives upstream, midstream, trading, and energy transition operations with a mandate to safely and sustainably develop a diversified energy portfolio that creates value for Sharjah, our people, and our community.
