Egypt has increased natural gas production at the Zohr field by 60 million cubic feet per day following the successful redrilling of the Zohr-6 well, according to the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources.
With Zohr-6 now complete, drilling operations have moved to the Zohr-13 well, which is expected to add a further 55 million cubic feet per day to production, based on technical assessments.
These developments represent a significant step forward in enhancing Egypt’s gas infrastructure and expanding domestic output.
The Ministry confirmed that the production increase aligns with earlier forecasts and reflects the continued progress of the field’s development.
The Ministry also highlighted the strong partnership with Italian energy company Eni, which operates the Zohr field.
The collaboration has been instrumental in keeping the project on track and accelerating production gains.
The Egyptian government continues to support such strategic initiatives as part of its broader goal to attract investment in the oil and gas sector, boost national energy production, and ensure long-term energy security and sustainability.
