Delivering for Today While Transforming for Tomorrow: An Interview with Karim Alaa Regional President – BP North Africa
Since the early 1960s, we have been a main player in the Gulf of Suez which continues to be a major oil production area.
Building on the success we have achieved over the last 5 decades, bp has decided to focus on gas, going forward, particularly in the Nile Delta Basin. It is a world-class gas basin with a lot of growth potential, and we have already invested billions of dollars there building an extensive gas infrastructure. Today, together with our partners, bp currently produces around 60% of Egypt’s gas through a joint venture with the Pharaonic Petroleum Company (PhPC) and Petrobel (IEOC JV) in the East Nile Delta as well as through the bp-operated West Nile Delta gas development.
