The Ministry of Petroleum will increase butane supplies to 1.1m butane gas cylinders on a daily basis in June and July, reported state-owned news agency MENA Monday.
Sherif Ismail, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, headed the proceedings of (Middle East Oil Refinery) Petroleum Arrows’s General Assembly to endorse its 2014 results.
Hamdi Abdel Aziz, the Ministry of Petroleum's official spokesman confirmed the stabilisation of domestic production of butane from refineries and fields of production, in addition to the stabilisation of butane imports.
President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi stated that the current butane gas shortage crisis in Egypt was caused by the wintery weather conditions that delayed the butane shipments to Egypt.
