Background

Fujairah LNG Terminal is an LNG terminal in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates. The Fujairah port is the only multi-purpose port on the eastern coast of the country.

In 2012, the United Arab Emirates's natural gas reserves were 212 trillion cubic feet. This made United Arab Emirates the fifth largest gas reserve in the world. In July 2017 Al Jazerra reported that the United Arab Emirates receives about two billion cubic feet of gas daily from Qatar.

In May of 2016, Abu Dhabi announced that was delaying the construction of the LNG import terminal in exchange for prioritizing a floating liquefied natural gas unit.

The original Fujairah LNG project was shelved, but S&P reported in May 2017 that Port of Fujairah General Manager is considering LNG ship-to-ship transfers.

S&P theorizes that compliance with the 2020 global sulfur cap prompted Fujairah's most recent LNG project. Most LNG varieties have no detectable sulfur.

According to the International Gas Union’s World LNG 2017 report, UAE was the 12th largest LNG exporter by share between 2015 and 2016. The country exports about 5.6 million tons a year.
