As part of ongoing field visits to key production sites, Yassin Mohamed, Chairman of the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS), visited the North West Sidi Ghazi field development project in the Nile Delta onshore region. The project, completed by Disouq Petroleum Joint Venture Company (Disouq), saw the finalization of the central processing unit in late August.

Joining Mohamed were Ahmed Mostafa, Undersecretary for Production at the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources (MoPMR); Samir Raslan, Undersecretary for Exploration and Agreements; and Sameh Sabry, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Wintershall Dea-MENA.

Mohamed emphasized Disouq’s exemplary role as a joint venture and its contribution to increasing gas and condensate production. Sabry reaffirmed Wintershall Dea’s commitment to boosting production in support of Egypt’s energy security and sustainability goals.

The central processing unit development project, initiated in December 2022 in collaboration with ENPPI and Petrojet, involved an investment of approximately $35 million. This project adheres to emission reduction principles while expanding the station’s capacity for gas and condensate production.

The visit underscored the need to accelerate development and production efforts while maintaining strict adherence to health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards, ensuring readiness for sustainable and safe operations.
