Abu Dhabi: Saif Ahmad Al Gafli, chief executive officer of Al Hosn Gas, has said the company has achieved a cumulative progress of 93 per cent in the Shah Gas Development Project in 2013.

“The Drilling programme is about five months ahead of our baseline schedule with 15 of our initial 20 wells ready for production at year end,” he said in the editorial of the Al Hosn News, the company’s in-house magazine.

The company, he added, recruited about 400 personnel during 2013 and the total headcount exceeded 1,000 at year end. The Emiratisation percentage reached 41 per cent as it implemented several strategic initiatives involving corporate, administration and finance business lines.
