Karim Badawi, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, underscored the importance of maximising the capabilities of Tanmia Petroleum Company in implementing Early Production Facilities (EPFs) to accelerate the addition of wells to the production map and support plans for the development of mature fields.

Tanmia, a state‑owned service provider, focuses on EPFs—plants that let new oil and gas fields start producing before full facilities are built. By deploying EPFs, Tanmia helps operators achieve “first oil” more quickly, generate early cash flow, and collect reservoir data while permanent facilities are under construction.

Badawi was speaking during the company’s general assembly meeting, where he stressed that increasing domestic petroleum and gas production tops the ministry’s priorities, given its importance in reducing the import bill. He noted that achieving this goal requires working in parallel across different axes, maximising the use of available resources, and adopting new visions that contribute to accelerating production rates.

In this context, the Minister instructed the company to coordinate with the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) and the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) to establish a comprehensive vision for identifying opportunities to increase production.

Mostafa Amer, the company’s chairman, reviewed the key results of Tanmia’s work in 2025, highlighting its activities in implementing EPFs and reservoir testing. He also outlined the company’s contribution to projects replacing diesel with solar energy in operating oil wells, in addition to its successful experience in renewing and rehabilitating wellheads, which helps reduce a significant portion of costs.
