This will increase the production capacity to 3.2 bcf/d.

Atef stated that the fields’ operating costs are $49 million, after saving 55% of the set budget and increasing the production to 122% of the set plan.

Petro Shorouk, the subsidiary of Petrobel is working on adding the 13th well to Zohr field next October and is expected to add the 14th well before the end of 2019, raising the field’s production level to more than 3 bcf/d.

Accordingly, Petrobel surpassed its total natural gas production, which is 4 bcf/d, and reached an average of 805,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
