Egypt Expects Gas Boost

Friday, July 21, 2017

Egypt expects to boost its natural gas output in the coming year by 50% and 100% by 2020 according to the Ministry of Petroleum. The boost is expected to come from three major discoveries made in the past few years.

“The fields of Zohr, North Alexandria and Nooros are among the most important projects that will increase natural gas production … and will contribute to (Egypt’s) natural gas self-sufficiency by the end of 2018,” Petroleum Minister Tarek El Molla said in a statement, which set out the production forecasts.

Egypt’s natural gas production rose to about 5.1 Bcf in 2017 from 4.4 Bcf in 2016 with the start of production from the first phase of BP’s North Alexandria project.
