Egypt’s Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources has announced the integration of a second well into the production system as part of the deep West Nile Delta gas field development project.

According to
Sada El-Balad, a partner of TV BRICS, the estimated daily output of the well is approximately 40 million cubic feet of natural gas.

In an official statement, the ministry described the achievement as a new step within the state’s plan to boost natural gas production from existing fields and to accelerate the development of concession areas, particularly those located in deepwater zones off the Nile Delta coast.

The authorities emphasised that this new addition contributes to the national strategy of increasing dependence on natural gas as a key energy source and enhancing the export surplus of liquefied natural gas, further strengthening Egypt’s position as a pivotal regional energy hub in the Mediterranean.
