Petrochemical Sector Update, Ongoing Projects and Fruitful Results

The risks of failure involved in chemical processes cause the petrochemical industry to be relatively averse to innovation. Yet, as the sector corresponds to 3% of Egypt’s gross domestic product (GDP), as well as directly and indirectly impacts other sectors of the economy, the petrochemical sector requires the most up-to-date technology to increase production and meet growing domestic demand.

A Deeper Look at the Potential Challenges of EOR Applications in Egypt

The interest in application of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) has globally increased, as most of mature oilfields cannot maintain their production unless EOR treatment is deployed. However, the currently implemented oil recovery phases in Egypt are mainly primary and secondary phases with limited applications of EOR techniques.

A Five Year Overview of Egypt’s Bid Rounds
