The Cabinet, in a session chaired on Sunday by Prime Minister Jafar Hassan, said it approved a 15-year extension of the concession agreement granted to the National Petroleum Company (NPC) for oil and gas exploration and production in the Risha gas field, extending its validity until 2061. The decision forms part of a strategic drive to achieve Jordan’s self-sufficiency in locally produced natural gas, strengthen and diversify energy sources, and advance one of the flagship projects under the second executive programme of the Economic Modernisation Vision (2026–2029), according to a Prime Ministry statement.
