Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Energy has issued regulations governing residential and commercial gas network activities, effective upon publication. The rules outline obligations for license holders, technical specifications for gas distribution, and procurement requirements from Saudi Aramco. Licensing fees are set at SAR 20,000 for 15-year dry gas licenses and SAR 5,000 for 5-year independent network licenses. The move aims to standardize gas distribution infrastructure, enhance safety protocols, and ensure alignment with Aramco's technical standards. This regulatory framework could attract investment in energy infrastructure and impact companies involved in gas distribution within the Kingdom.
