The Egyptian government is working on exporting around 2 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) of natural gas by the end of 2019, the Minister of Petroleum, Tarek El Molla, told Al Arabiya in an interview, Amwal Alghad reported.

“We have resumed exporting natural gas since last October,” El Molla said, adding that the ministry will be gradually exporting through liquefication plants.
