Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Tarek El Molla held a meeting with Lorenzo Simonelli, CEO of Baker Hughes, while he was in London during the British Egyptian Business Association’s (BEBA) trade mission event.

During the meeting, the company’s projects in reducing emissions and its advanced applications in recovering flare gases associated with production processes were reviewed within the framework of efforts to preserve the environment and achieve sustainable development.

The meeting also reviewed the proposed projects within the Egyptian petroleum sector action plan to reduce carbon from the oil and gas production facilities that were prepared through the carbon reduction consortium in which Baker Hughes participates along with a number of local and international companies. This reflects the integration and concerted efforts in this regard between the various entities of the sector in cooperation with development partners from foreign companies.
