Egypt has discovered gas-bearing zones in a well located in the Western Desert, with a net thickness of 253 feet (approximately 77.1 meters) and an estimated yield of 12.5 million barrels of oil equivalent.
Engineers are currently conducting production tests while advancing plans to extend a 23-kilometer pipeline, valued at $10 million.
Additional drilling is also underway, aimed at boosting daily gas output to 30 million cubic feet.
Meanwhile, experts are evaluating two newly discovered wells in the Gulf of Suez to estimate their potential reserves.
These developments are part of Egypt’s broader strategy to position itself as a leading regional energy hub.
Landmark discoveries such as the Zohr gas field in the Mediterranean—which holds an estimated 30 trillion cubic feet of gas—continue to reinforce the country’s long-term energy goals.
