Egypt Prospects to Fulfill European Natural Gas Needs
Egypt is well-positioned to profit from the present energy crisis in Europe, given its increased natural gas finds, production, and LNG exports. From one perspective, Egypt might soon get to be a major energy exporter to the EU if it is able to considerably alleviate the European problem by selling LNG in large quantities to the EU. However, some experts feel that becoming a major LNG supplier to the EU is a long-term goal that will be determined by other variables rather than relieving the present situation. Thus, it is suggested that Egypt should embrace a simple strategy, maximising earnings from LNG exports to Europe, because the EU is already purchasing natural gas at higher spot rates.
