Dubai-Mubasher: Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) has received huge interest from oil & gas industry leaders based in the North Sea region particularly from the UK, Denmark and France at the ADIPEC held last week.
These companies are looking forward to establish their presence in the wider Middle East region, which still remains an expanding market despite the sharp decline in oil prices.
The oil and gas sector trade in Jafza has seen 462% growth in the last ten years, rising from AED 11.38 billion in 2005 to AED 52.69 billion in 2014.
The Free Zone is currently a home to a large number of leading firms, including ExxonMobil, Total, Shell and CNPC to Baker Hughes, Schlumberger and Halliburton.
