Egypt's Minister of Petroleum, Tarek El Molla, has met with BP Upstream CEO Bernard Looney to discuss the status of the development of Giza and Fayoum fields.

The Giza and Fayoum fields in the West Nile Delta concession will be added to production in the second phase of the project in December 2018.

Egyptian Minister of Petroleum, Tarek El Molla, visited North Alexandria to check gas fields' development project.

A plan has been set by the Egyptian government to start developing five new oil and gas fields in Egypt, from the third quarter of 2017 until 2019. The five fields are named: Taurus, Libra, Giza, Fayoum, and Raven.

Unknown assailants bombed three electricity pylons in Giza's Awsim late Sunday, which led to a power outage in a number of districts.
