He was accompanied by the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources' Undersecretaries for Production, Engineer Ahmed Mustafa, and for Exploration and Agreements, Dr. Samir Raslan, as well as Sameh Sabry, Vice President and Regional Director of Wintershall Dea.

The visit aimed to review the progress of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) development, successfully completed by the joint venture Desouk Petroleum (Desouko) at the end of August.
