Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Tarek El Molla, indicated that this cooperation provides an opportunity to expand the production and manufacture of some oil and gas-related projects such as wellhead and pipelines which will reduce costs and time and increase their economic viability.

El Molla stated that the protocol aligns with the ministry’s interest in expanding cooperation and integration with the Ministry of Military Production benefiting from its manufacturing and engineering capabilities. He added that the agreement also aligns with the ministry’s plan to increase the proportion of the local component in its new projects.

 The minister highlighted that both ministries have previously collaborated on manufacturing prepaid natural gas meters, noting that it is progressing well. 

For his part, Mohamed Ahmed Morsi, Minister of Military Production, stated that the protocol aims to increase joint cooperation between the NOMP and TPBSCO in a number of manufacturing fields. Not only that, but hopes to provide technical services, maintenance, repair and tests, as well as training to maximize the benefit of local products and to improve Egypt’s economy.
