was awarded a five-year duty holder contract by SNOC to operate and maintain the Sajaa Assets and to facilitate a smooth transition following the end of the original Amoco concession agreement. By the end of 2015, SNOC assumed full responsibility for the management and operations of the Sajaa Assets.

On 10 May 1980, work started on the Sajaa-1 well which was drilled to a depth of 16,656 ft (5,077 m). The well marked the discovery of the Sajaa field which turned out to be one largest gas condensate fields in the UAE. In
October 1981, the nearby 'Moveyeid' field was discovered.
269:. In 2020, a second stage of compression was added using reciprocating compressors in series with the original centrifugal machines. The 2nd stage of compression was commissioned on 6 January 2021 allowing SNOC to increase injection pressures to the Moveyeid field.

In
January 2020, SNOC and Eni announced a new discovery of natural gas and condensate at the Mahani field in Sharjah. Production from the first well (Mahani-1) started on 4 January 2021, less than a year after the discovery was first announced.

In
November 2003, BP Sharjah announced that it had broken the world record for LPG recovery, achieving 99.75% recovery of propane and a near 100 percent recovery of butane and hydrocarbon condensate at the Sajaa Gas Plant.

Additional exploration drilling discovered a third field ‘Kahaif’ in 1992 with production starting in 1994. A second phase of drilling operations at Sajaa added a further 26 production wells.
