Egypt : Increase in production from the Zohr gas field thanks to the success of the Zohr-6 well

Le ministère égyptien du Pétrole et des Ressources minérales a annoncé vendredi une augmentation significative de la production de gaz naturel du champ gazier de Zohr, avec un gain de 60 millions de pieds cubes par jour. Cette progression fait suite au succès du reforage du puits Zohr-6, une étape clé dans le renforcement de l’approvisionnement énergétique national.

Le puits Zohr-6 a été retravaillé à l’aide de la plateforme de forage en eau profonde Saipem 10000, qui avait repris ses opérations sur le champ en janvier dernier, conformément au plan de développement approuvé. Après avoir achevé les travaux sur Zohr-6, la plateforme a entamé le forage du puits Zohr-13. Selon les études d’ingénierie, ce nouveau puits devrait ajouter 55 millions de pieds cubes de gaz par jour à la production, consolidant ainsi la capacité du champ.

These operations mark a major step forward in the Ministry's strategy to boost national natural gas production. They confirm earlier forecasts and reinforce Egypt's position as a key player in regional energy security. "These efforts are part of our commitment to ensure the availability of energy for citizens and various industrial sectors, while maximising domestic production," said a Ministry official.

The success of these operations is also based on the fruitful partnership between the Ministry and the Italian company Eni, operator of the Zohr field. This partnership has enabled the effective implementation of the development plans supported by the Egyptian government as part of its policy of encouraging investment in the oil sector. The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to supporting initiatives aimed at ensuring the sustainability of the country's resources and energy security.

With these advances, the Zohr gas field continues to play a central role in Egypt's energy strategy, helping to meet growing energy demand while enhancing the country's attractiveness to international investors in the oil sector.
