Jafurah, located in the Eastern Province between Dammam and Al-Ahsa, is the largest unconventional gas field in Saudi Arabia and the largest liquid-rich shale gas play in the Middle East, currently under large-scale development including a gas processing plant, compression facilities, and an extensive pipeline network. This growing unconventional gas program relies on specialized drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and processing techniques, creating strong demand for a workforce trained to both Saudi regulatory requirements and international industry standards.
Tamkene provides accredited B2B training, competency assessment, and certification services to companies operating in Jafurah, delivered either at a training center in the Eastern Province or on-site at the client's facility.
