In early 2018, Wintershall Dea announced the start of an extensive
work program in all own-operated Egyptian assets. The company is currently
investing more than 500 Million US-Dollars over three years (2018-2020), aiming
to significantly boost its gas and oil production in the country.
“We look back on very active 18 months in
Egypt”, says Mario Mehren, CEO of Wintershall Dea. "We have already
realized a good part of the upside potential in our own-operated assets Disouq
and in the Gulf of Suez. Furthermore, the West Nile Delta project is
progressing towards completing the development of the five fields by end of this
year.
These achievements are indicative of our lasting and sustainable
commitment to Egypt", he adds. "We look forward to making further
contributions to the development of the Egyptian energy sector, supporting the
country on its way to become an energy hub for the region."
