BG Group to Enhance Gas Infrastructure in Egypt

BG Egypt, part of BG Group, announced last week that it is enhancing the country’s gas infrastructure that will enable it to bring new wells on in the West Delta Deep Marine (WDDM) concession while maintaining supply from existing wells, offshore the Nile Delta.

Company’s Phase 9a, has already started production from three of the nine wells in the program.

The new well control system can now manage the production from additional wells simultaneously and provides the capacity for future potential developments, the company said.

“Following the $1.5 billion investment in the West Delta Deep Marine concession, our technical team has upgraded the well control system, enhancing the country’s gas infrastructure. This has enabled us to safely start up new wells while keeping existing ones producing,” BG Egypt President Arshad Sufi commented.

BG Egypt is the operator of the concession and holds 50 per cent equity. PETRONAS holds the remaining 50 per cent. Burullus Gas Company S.A.E a Joint Operating Company of EGPC, BG Egypt, and PETRONAS conducts operations on behalf of the WDDM partners.
