Coming Decade’s obstacles hindring progress of the petroleum sector

Discussion surrounding Egypt's supply and production of petroleum and natural gases has been heating up steadily over the past several years. As a vital yet decidedly limited market in the region, the petroleum sector faces some serious challenges, prompting a series of conferences, reforms and debates to be held by ministers, heads of state, and industry leaders.

Still controlling the ups and downs of the gas industry

Although everything is usually subjected to alternating periods of good and bad fortune or even high and low spirits as well as smart and failure management, here in Egypt we tend to pause or suspend life temporarily for each mood. When we admire, we extremely praise while for objecting to something we totally turn off the light. That's a quick summery for the Egyptian gas sector

As usual, Petrobel comes first in the production rankings

The continuous efforts of the Ministry of Petroleum to overcome any obstacle that hinders its production plan reflect the officials' targets to keep high levels of oil and gas production. Despite all speculations claiming the slow down of such attempts, Egypt has witnessed a relative progress in its oil and gas production rates since the beginning of this year

More development on its way

Throughout the past eight years, the Ministry of Petroleum has been implementing an ambitious plan to develop its fields, whether the newly discovered ones or the brownfields. The results of this strategy reflect the value of the country’s fields that are still fruitful. More development plans are yet to come

The latest technologies in the Mediterranean

Over the last few years, drilling activities have significantly increased in the Mediterranean. Operators have been mainly focusing on hitting their targets and achieving their well objectives as safely and efficiently as possible. Schlumberger, Halliburton and Weatherford are of the major Service providers in the Mediterranean Sea. Their technologies play a great important role for the offshore operators.

Drilling For A Better Future

Drilling for oil and gas has occurred in one way or another for hundreds of years. The Chinese, for instance, invented a bamboo rig to obtain oil and gas, but only in the last 40 years has humankind been able to efficiently extract petroleum from beneath the seas - an achievement to rank with this century's mightiest technological triumphs

Financial Institutes for the rescue

Though the banks have been a steady form of support, the world economic crisis has cast its shadow over the Egyptian oil sector

Your Corporate Need Is to Lease Not Just Be Financed

Maturing countries such as Egypt need to adopt successful financial mechanisms to foster effective infrastructure to support and expand the economy. This moves beyond financing alone, indicating that leasing is the way forward. Awareness of the benefits leasing add to the sector is on the rise in Egypt and stands to be a substantial part of financing the existent oil and gas industry.

Unexpected amelioration in the rig market

The egyptian petroleum sector is on the verge of a huge change in its rig market, due to the recent exploration bids offered by the government in the Mediterranean, Gulf of Suez, Eastern and Western desert, Nile delta and Sinai.
