National Petroleum Company
In 1986, the Risha Gas Field was discovered by the Natural Resources Authority, which continued exploration and drilling operations until 1995. At that time, the concession was transferred to the National Petroleum Company, which was established for this purpose. The company is a publicly traded entity, 99.92% owned by the Government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
In 1989
Production from the Risha Gas Field began after the completion of the gas processing plant and the Risha power station.
253 billion cubic feet
As of December 31, 2024, the cumulative production of the Risha Gas Field reached approximately 253 billion cubic feet.
The National Petroleum Company has continued its exploration and drilling operations within its concession area in the Risha Gas Field. During this period, British Petroleum (BP) joined as a strategic partner in 2010 but withdrew in 2014 without adding any production quantities during its involvement.
