Comparative Subsidy Reform
Egypt's difficulties in implementing subsidy reforms are not uncommon. Many countries have encountered challenges while implementing energy subsidy reform. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), reductions in energy subsidies have often led to widespread public protests and to either a complete or partial cancellation of price increases. Environmental Regulation: Foundations Set, What Next?
When it comes to HSE, the 'E' or environment is often set aside and talked about as a separate entity. This separation is most likely due to the different challenges and concerns that come with environmental management. Methods of Natural Gas Transport
In recent years we have seen extraordinary technological developments in the production of natural gas, which has lead to a significant increase in supply and a sharp drop in prices. As natural gas prices have decreased by more than half in the past five years, production has moved in the opposite direction. In 2011 it totaled 3,276 billion cm, which is about a third more compared to ten years ago. Inconvenient Tenders… Implications for Service Companies
In the Egyptian petroleum sector the system of competitive tendering does little to promote transparency and fair competition among service companies. In a price-driven market, the emphasis is placed on the cheapest option. But at what cost? Egypt Oil and Gas explores the tendering process currently utilized in the Egyptian oil and gas sector in an effort to examine the long-term consequences of ''cheapest is best.'' WHY IS EGYPT IMPORTING NATURAL GAS?
For the past several years Egypt has been trying to boost its natural gas production. Despite having significant natural gas reserves and promising new discoveries Egypt has not been fast or efficient enough to keep up with growing domestic demand. Liquid Production: A look at the past present and future of Egypt’s liquid reserves
The 1970s was a period of transition for the Egyptian petroleum sector. The Petroleum Policy of 1973 mandated production-sharing contracts, which along with increased oil prices, attracted foreign investors. Exploration agreements for concessions in the Western Desert and Nile Delta regions were signed, yet exploratory activity during this time yielded few results. The Egyptian Natural Gas, New Legal Challenges over the East Mediterranean Gas
No one can deny that natural gas plays a vital role in all aspects of our life today. This proved apparent especially after the great industrial developments witnessed by the international sector that based solely on non-renewable energy, as a means to satisfying their intensive industrial needs. Although most developed countries exert thier best efforts to find alternatives ways instead of traditional means, they failed to get rid of oil and gas as a main source of Energy. Consequently all countries are aiming at achieving progressive steps to explore petroleum resources throughout its national or foreign petroleum companies. The war today indeed has become a war over oil and gas. The Commodity Dictates the Trade
In the twentieth century, we used to characterize the different markets according to the supply-demand balance and whether it is favoring the sellers or the buyers in any trade regardless of the commodity being traded.
