Halliburton, the American oil and gas company, is set to finish drilling four deep-water natural gas wells in Egypt by the end of November.
The drilling project encompasses two wells in the Burullus gas field, located in the West Nile Delta, and two in BP’s Raven gas field near Alexandria.
An official confirmed that Halliburton has already successfully connected one of the Burullus wells to production as part of the 10th phase of the project.
Two additional wells in Burullus are nearing completion, with the second expected to be operational within the week, which could contribute an additional 150 to 200 million cubic feet of gas per day to the national output.
In the Raven field, Halliburton aims to have two new wells operational by mid-November, with the first well anticipated to be ready for production soon.
In line with the Ministry of Petroleum’s strategy to boost gas production and counteract declining well productivity, Halliburton is employing gas well stimulation techniques in collaboration with foreign partners. This initiative underscores the company’s commitment to enhancing Egypt’s energy resources.
