Oil and Gas Holding Company (nogaholding) Board of Directors Chairman, His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, expressed delight at the preliminary results from the Ryder Scott Consulting Company on discoveries related to the natural gas reservoir located under the “Onaiza” reservoir.

HH Shaikh Nasser, who is also His Majesty the King’s representative for Humanitarian Work and Youth Affairs, described the preliminary results as being excellent and pave the way for further evaluation and study.

He commended the efforts made by the Ryder Scott Company and Tatweer Petroleum in this important project, which will contribute to achieving the Kingdom’s 2030 Economic Vision. Ryder Scott, a consulting firm with long experience, has worked on evaluating oil and gas resources and reserves with Tatweer Petroleum to certify the discovered volumes and production quantities of gas in the field.

The evaluation and testing work kicked off following the official announcement last November of the discovery of two new natural gas reserves in each of the “Al-Juba” and “AlJouf” layers located under the “Al-Khaf ” and “Onaiza” natural gas-producing reservoirs in Bahrain.
