    It is estimated that the total committed natural gas investment in the Middle East and North Africa region from 2021 to 2025 will reach 75 billion US dollars, a decrease of 9.


    Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Iraq are the three countries with the most natural gas investment in the Middle East and North Africa.


    At the same time, the planned investment for 2021-2025 remains relatively stable, at US$133 billion, indicating that once the macro environment improves, the region intends to resume its natural gas production capacity, especially in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman and Algeria.
