Egypt Announces New Natural Gas Discovery in Nile Delta
Gas production at the new field is estimated to reach around 1.4 million cubic meters per day, according to the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources.
Key points:
🟠 Proximity to existing infrastructure—less than 2 km—enables production within weeks;
🟠 Advanced directional drilling technology helped reduce costs and enhance efficiency;
🟠 The discovery is expected to support domestic gas supply;
🟠Full repayment of dues to foreign partners is expected by the end of June, which encourages expansion of exploration.
