Egypt Sees Natural Gas Boost

Friday, August 22, 2014

Egypt’s natural gas production numbers recevied a boost when ENI, through its Egyptian affiliate IEOC partnered with BP, brought a new development online. The development, the DEKA Project, was developed through a new subsea well –Denise South 6 – at a gas rate of 1.8 Mmcm/d and associated condensates of about 800 bpd.

The DEKA Project envisages the development of gas discoveries by means of the drilling of five subsea wells, the installation of subsea production systems together with sealines, and gas processing at the El Gamil Gas Plant onshore.

The project’s peak production is expected by Q1 2015 with a total gross gas rate of about 6.5 Mmcm/d.

The Denise South 6 is the first development well of the DEKA Project located in the Temsah Concession Area, in the offshore Nile Delta. The well is located approximately 65 Km north of Port Said, in 100 meters water depth.

IEOC holds 50% working interest in the Temsah Concession and operates through its JV Petrobel (50% IEOC and 50% EGPC).
