+++ Description
- The Margham Gas Plant and Field is the largest gas field onshore Dubai. The field contains three gas-bearing geological formations".
- The field has been developed with production and injection gas wells that are connected through a gathering system to the Margham Plant. Initially the gas was processed to remove water for disposal and condensate for sale and the dry gas was re-injected into the reservoir. Today the dry gas is sent by pipeline to the Dubai gas grid.
- The field has functioned as a strategic gas storage facility for Dubai since 2008, with the ability to inject gas to the reservoir or produce gas in order to satisfy Dubai's seasonal fuel gas requirements.
