Egypt will start applying the new fuel pricing indexation mechanism to all petroleum products starting from Q4 2019.
Operations rooms at the Ministry of Petroleum and the Cabinet's Information and Decision Support Center (IDSC) are closely following fuel distribution and transportation prices.
The Egyptian Cabinet announced the new fuel prices on July 5, increasing prices by around 25% after subsidy cuts.
Edison exploration and production (E&P)’s portfolio of assets includes producing in in the growing eastern Mediterranean gas hub, with a significant presence in Egypt’s offshore basin.
Petroleum exports amounted to $3.2 billion while imports stood at $2.4 billion during Q4 2018.
Petrobel plans to drill 10 developmental wells with a crude oil production rate of around 3,000 barrels per day (b/d).
The achievement was announced in order to fulfill the Ministry of Petroleum’s vision regarding enhancing the health, safety and environment (HSE) and preventing any accidents during the oil and gas manufacturing process.
The Egyptian government is working on exporting around 2 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) of natural gas by the end of 2019, according to the Minister of Petroleum, Tarek El Molla.
The new petroleum products’ subsidies come in line with Egypt’s economic program, which aims to boost the sector.
 A portion of the amount being transported will be allocated to the development projects being established by the government, such as Suez Canal and the New Administrative Capital.
