AMMAN — A subsidiary of the Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company (JPRC) on Tuesday signed a JD 15.5 million agreement to develop new liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage infrastructure in southern Aqaba, in a move intended to strengthen Jordan’s energy supply chain.

The Liquefied Petroleum Gas Manufacturing and Filling Company will collaborate with a Jordanian-Egyptian joint venture comprising the Jordan National Shipping Lines Company and Egypt’s Petrojet (Petroleum Projects and Technical Consultations Company) to execute the project, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.

JPRC CEO Hassan Al Hiyari and representatives of the joint venture signed the agreement, which was attended by JPRC Chairman Abdul Rahim Al Buqai and Vice Chairman Abdul Karim Al Alawin.

The project includes designing, supplying, and constructing two spherical LPG tanks, each with a capacity of 2,000 metric tons, to be delivered as a turnkey project within 24 months.

Buqai said the expansion reflects the company’s strategy to enhance operational readiness amid rising national demand for LPG. He added that robust energy infrastructure is essential for maintaining supply security and efficient distribution.

Hiyari noted that the facility will streamline the LPG distribution network, lower transport costs from Aqaba to interior regions, and improve energy resilience across the Kingdom.
