Production & Field Development DepartmentZohr Field Development is considered one of the largest gas field in the Mediterranean concession as it has recorded unprecedented achievements .Reserves were estimated as 30 TCF and recovery reserve as 21.6 TCF and 19.5 BBL condensate based on the commercial discovery in August 2015.Production started after 22 months from signing the development agreement in February 2016 which is considered an accomplishment in comparison to similar projects which need a time period of more than 5 years. The Field Development Plan consists of 3 Phases with Phase-1, Early production, starting 17 December 2017, with a production rate of 350 MMSCF. Phase-2 Production target is to reach 1.7 BCF in the third quarter of 2018. Phase 3 Production is planned to go up to 2.7 BCF during the second half of 2019.

West Nile Delta (WND) Project Development consists of five major offshore fields. This is the first O&G megaproject to be 100% owned by a foreign contractor with exclusive buying rights for the EGPC to meet local demand. WND has estimated proven Reserves of 5 TCF of natural gas and 55 MMBBL of condensate. Project includes field development of 5 fields. Taurus-Libra (T/L) gas is being processed in the Scarab facilities. Early production started from 9 wells by the end of March 2017 with a rate of 700 MMSCFD. Giza and Fayoum fields use Rosetta production facility during Q4 of 2018 to reach production rates of 1.2 BCF per day. Raven field gas is planned to be processed through a new production facility (East Rosetta) during Q4 of 2019 to reach production rates of 1.6 BCF per day.

Atoll Field Development was discovered in April 2015 with estimated recovery reserves: 1.46 TCF of gas. 855 million dollars were invested in Atoll field and is under the supervision of BP . The water depth is 920m and the field is 82km from land. Production started from 3 wells during December 2017 with a rate of 300 MMSCFD gas and 9 MBBL per day condensate.

Nidoco North West (NNW) Field Development concession agreement for petroleum exploration was signed according to Law No. 6, 1988.First gas was in August 1999 from Nidoco-1 well with a rate of 12 MMSCFD then the remaining wells went online for production to reach a rate of 127 MMSCFD then production gradually declined to 9 MMSCFD until the field ceased production in November 2014.According to Article 2, Law No. 6, 1988, ENI applied to EGPC on 5 October, 2010 for a period of ten years of optional extension for the development of the West Abu Madi and Khelala starting from 2 May 2011 (end of optional extension period: 2 May 2021).Norus field discovery is considered a huge economical achievement, as the field reserves are estimated to be 2 TCF, as a direct result for the revised pricing of gas price in the concession. Directional drilling technology is used from onshore wells to reach the hydrocarbon reservoir located in shallow water to save time and reduce costs, and the gas is processed in Abu Madi production facility. Eighteen wells were put on

production during the period from August 2015 to July 2018 with total production 1.135 BCFD. Capacity of the production facility was increased to 750 MMSCFD by debottlenecking in 2 phases. Phase 1 of the debottlenecking phase was to increase station’s grid pipeline capacity. Phase 2 plan was to increase capacity of production facility (Slug catcher – Compression). The 1st rental facility (EPF1) was put on production in September, 2016 with a capacity of 350 MMSCFD to reach total capacity of 1100 MMSCFD. The 2nd rental Facility (EPF2) was put on production in March, 2017 with a capacity of 175 MMSCFD to reach total capacity of 1300 MMSCFD to put the rest of planned wells on the production map.

Drilling Department:

Mission: Follow up all drilling activities in GAS Concessions and provide the

advice to the Operator during drilling problems. Follow up tendering process until award the drilling service to the

Contractor & ensure that everything is going as per Country laws & regulations.

Review Drilling Programs and transfer the lesson learned to the new Oil Companies.

Support the Oil Companies during planning & execution phase of drilling campaigns (man power license, fuel required, Logistic Yard/Jetty…….etc.).

Review drilling invoices for the exploration concessions for cost recovery purposes.

Drilling Activities:

During 2013/2014 drilled total of 39 wells (11 exploratory / appraisal wells & 28 development wells).

During 2014/2015 drilled total of 38 wells (16 exploratory / appraisal wells & 22 development wells).

During 2015/2016 drilled total of 48 wells (14 exploratory / appraisal wells & 34 development wells).

During 2016/2017 drilled total of 41 wells (13 exploratory / appraisal wells & 28 development wells).

During 2017/2018 drilled total of 43 wells (14 exploratory / appraisal wells & 29 development wells).

Total wells drilled during last 5 years are about 68 exploratory / appraisal wells & 141 development wells.

To ensure the availability of Drilling Rigs in order to achieve the drilling plans, EGAS built two Jack Up Rigs (El Qaher-1 & El Qaher-2). Both Rigs commenced working in the second half of 2011 and drilled/workover more than 63 wells up to 2018.

Due to the increase in deep water drilling activities, EGAS is currently studying the possibility to own Floating Rig (Drill ship or Semi sub).

Currently International Oil Companies working with EGAS are BP, IEOC, Shell, Edison, Total, Dana Gas, Sea Dragon, DEA and Petronas.
