As part of field visits and presence among workers at work and production sites, Chairman of Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) Yassin Mohamed has conducted a field visit to the North West Sidi Ghazi field development project in the Nile Delta onshore region.

The project was completed by Disouq Petroleum Joint Venture Company (Disouq), which successfully completed the development of the central processing unit at the end of last August.

During the visit, Mohamed was accompanied by the Undersecretaries of the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources (MoPMR) for Production, Ahmed Mostafa; and Exploration and Agreements, Samir Raslan; along with Sameh Sabry, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Wintershall Dea-Middle East & North Africa.

During the visit, Mohamed confirmed that Disouq is a distinguished model for joint venture companies and that the field’s production will contribute to increasing gas and condensate production rates.

Sabry stated that Wintershall Dea aims to work on increasing production as part of the petroleum efforts to increase production and achieve a safe and sustainable energy future for Egypt.

Disouq has started implementing the central processing unit development project in cooperation with ENPPI and Petrojet since December 2022, with investments amounting to approximately $35 million, in full commitment to the principles of reducing emissions to increase the station’s capacity for gas and condensate quantities.

The visit witnessed an emphasis on continuing to accelerate the implementation of development and production operations with full commitment to applying all rules and requirements of health, occupational safety and environmental protection (HSE), and periodic review of plans, preparations, and readiness for implementation and sustainable safe operation.
