hamada field

The Attorney General, Al-Siddiq Al-Sour, has reiterated his directive to suspend negotiations over the development of the Al-Hamada oil field, known as NC7.

In a formal letter to Khaled Shakshak, the head of the Audit Bureau, Al-Sour requested a detailed report on the bureau’s ongoing audit of the project, which falls under the National Oil Corporation (NOC).

The Attorney General’s action follows an earlier order, dated December 27, 2023, mandating the suspension of negotiations to finalize the field's development contract. 

The letter emphasized the continuation of judicial oversight and urged the Audit Bureau to evaluate the financial and technical compliance of the project, including adherence to previously flagged concerns.
