Eni hopes to finish linking Zohr natural gas field's production in July 2019 instead of the end of 2019.

The daily output of Egypt’s Zohr natural gas field has reached 900 million standard cubic feet (mscf) after the second and third lines were linked to production.

Egyptian Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Tarek El Molla and EU Commissioner for Energy and Climate Action Miguel Arias Cañete visited the onshore gas processing facilities at Zohr natural gas field.

Eni plans to drill three additional wells as part of the first phase of development at Zohr natural gas field, an official at the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) has said.
