Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Tarek El Molla highlighted the ministry’s interest in localizing the national industry for the local component in petroleum projects, explaining that Petrojet’s distinction in this field during the past five years is a realistic and exemplary embodiment of this direction.

The minister’s remarks came during the general assembly of Petrojet to approve its business results for the year 2021.

During the meeting, Walid Lotfy, Petrojet’s Chairman, reviewed the most important indicators of business results, explaining its success in achieving an unprecedented volume of business, as its revenues amounted to EGP 34.2 billion during the year 2021, a 6% increase over the year 2020, and an increase in net profit by 11.6% compared to 2020.
