RWE Dea saw first production from the Central Treatment Plant (CTP) of its Disouq Development Project in Egypt. Production commenced at an initial rate of 45 Mmcf/d, ramping up progressively during the last few days to reach a rate of around 90 Mmcf/d. Together with the North West Khilala gas plant, RWE Dea has already achieved a total production of 150 Mmcf/d.
“We are pleased to inaugurate the Disouq Central Treatment Plant, as it marks a significant milestone in advancing production growth from our Egyptian assets,” said Dirk Warzecha COO of RWE Dea AG. “The volumes produced from our gas fields of the Disouq project make an important contribution to Egypt’s domestic energy production to meet the needs of the country’s growing energy demand,” Warzecha explained.
“We started the project during difficult times in the country, which required special measures for security and logistics. With this project RWE Dea demonstrates its commitment to Egypt and North Africa as a core region,” Dirk Warzecha added.
With the launch of the CTP, RWE Dea will boost its oil and gas production in Egypt by 50% from 29,000 to 44,000 boepd. The company expects further production increases in CTP and North West Khilala up to the capacity of approximately 200 Mmcf/d in 2015.
“I am very delighted, that we have reached this very important milestone in our Disouq project,” said Maximilian Fellner, General Manager RWE Dea Egypt. “Our work program for the near future is extensive, as we plan to connect additional seven wells to the CTP and bring them on stream in 2015,” Fellner added.
The CTP currently produces gas from five wells in separate three gas fields, namely North Sidi Ghazy, South Sidi Ghazy and North West Sidi Ghazy Fields. The gas produced from the North West Khilala Field is processed in the additional North West Khilala gas plant. Dea’s operated Disouq project encompasses the development of seven gas fields in the Nile Delta.
