Within the framework of the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources’ directives, the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) organized an extensive meeting that included the new chairmen and operations managers of petroleum sector companies, alongside several supporting companies.
During the meeting, Salah Abdel Kerim, EGPC’s CEO, emphasized that the current stage requires a level of commitment and performance that matches the scale of the new projects the sector is undertaking in exploration, production, refining, and distribution, especially in light of the growing domestic market demand for petroleum products.
The meeting identified several priorities for the upcoming phase. Chief among these are governance, industrial development, and the adoption of modern technologies currently utilized in global production systems. Furthermore, it was emphasized that international service companies operating in Egypt, leveraging their diverse capabilities, expertise, and long-standing relationships with the country, have a greater role to play in the coming period to achieve these goals in cooperation with production and operational partners in the petroleum sector.
The meeting highlighted the importance of integrating all employees—from both production and supporting companies—into the comprehensive safety system. It also emphasized working toward the adoption of a unified safety manual and performance report that addresses all operational requirements.
Abdel Kerim noted that the Ministry’s directives are clear: providing full support for all integrated efforts aimed at increasing production. He stated that everyone is operating within a single system whose destiny is to bear great responsibilities in securing the nation’s energy supplies and meeting all the needs required for growth and development projects.
