RWE Produces First Gas in Egypt

RWE Dea Egypt has produced first gas from the Disouq concession in the Egyptian Nile Delta.

The project encompasses the development of seven gas fields in the area to produce a total of approx. 11.4 billion cubic metres of gas.

Disouq is the first natural gas project to be brought into production by RWE Dea as operator in Egypt. The Disouq concession is located in the Kafr el Sheikh Governerate, in Egypt’s gas-rich region of the Nile delta that reaches all the way to the Mediterranean. 

A peak production level of around 4 to 4.5 million cubic metres per day is expected to be achieved in mid-2014 when additionally a central treatment plant will start producing.

RWE Dea plans to develop additional natural gas potential in the areas adjoining the reservoirs already discovered and belonging to the concession.
