Business & Finance Club - Dubai: Al Jaber Energy Services has acquired $300 million (Dh1.102 billion) in financing facilities from Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank to build large segments of the Shah Gas project.

It includes the construction of a four-lane dual carriageway and asphalt road, connecting the Shah area to the Liwa road.

Also part of Al Jaber’s contract is 27 million cubic metres of cut, fill and levelling work to prepare the site for process, production and sulphur recovery, as well as utilities and off-site packages.

 “This is a large-scale development that Al Jaber Group has undertaken to complete in a very short span of time. ADIB is pleased to participate in such large infrastructure development projects in the UAE,” ADIB CEO Tirad Mahmoud said in a statement.
