The Petroleum Ministry said that the British Gas Company made a commercial gas finding in the Red Sea that has the capacity to pump 40 million cubic feet per day.
Petroleum Minister Abdullah Ghorab told Al-Masry Al-Youm that the new finding’s limited output capacity may increase with the digging of new wells.
The new finding will enter the production phase in three months, Ghorab said, adding that El Borolos Gas Company, a joint operation between the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation, PG Egypt and Petronas, will take on the works in the deep waters of the West Delta concession.
