Egypt, BP company to boost natural gas output with new mediterranean well
The move comes as part of the Petroleum and Mineral Resources Ministry’s strategy to boost domestic natural gas production, maximize the use of existing infrastructure and reduce reliance on imports.
According to a ministry statement, the production increase follows the successful completion of a new sidetrack operation at the well under BP’s drilling program aimed at expanding gas output in Egypt.
The operation enabled the well to be brought back into production from new reservoirs without the need to drill a separate well, representing what the ministry described as an innovative engineering solution that adds new output in a short timeframe while minimizing costs and optimizing the use of existing wells and production facilities.
