RWE Dea’s Disouq Gas Project in Egypt Progressing Successfully

RWE Dea’s Disouq natural gas project in the Egyptian Nile Delta is progressing successfully, the company said in a statement Thursday.

The company confirmed another positive appraisal of the North West Khilala (NWK) gas field with the development well NW Khilala-1- 4. NWK-1-4 was successfully flowed at about 450,000 standard cubic metres gas per day.

Disouq project encompasses the development of seven gas fields in the Nile Delta and NWK is the first field brought into production last September.

NWK-1-4 is the fourth well to be drilled in the NWK structure and reached a total measured depth of 3,175 metres in the Abu Madi Formation.

Currently, the NWK field produces 1.45 million standard cubic metres of gas per day from three wells.

RWE Dea will now move the Weatherford 94 rig to drill a four-well appraisal and development programme in the South East Sidi Salem and Disouq Fieldsapprox. 50 kms west of the NWK Field.

Together with the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) and the Suez Oil Company (SUCO), RWE Dea plans to produce a total of approx. 11.4 billion cubic metres of gas from the seven gas fields in the first phase of the Disouq Development Project.
