ABU QIR GAS

closed

The project aims to meet some of Egypt's growing energy needs through increased gas and liquified petroleum gas production to replace mainly exportable fuel oil and imported diesel and LPG. In addition, condensate recovered from the gas would release exportable crude oil. The resultant foreign exchange earnings from increased exports and savings from reduced imports would be substantial. The gas would be produced at Abu Qir and supplied to industrial users in the Alexandria area. The project would consist of: (i) a production platform with 9 wells, a utility platform, ancillary facilities, and 2 submarine pipelines; (ii) gas separation, gas dehydration and condensate recovery facilities, a slug catcher, an LPG plant, a flare system and supply and distribution pipelines onshore; and (iii) technical assistance, training, a seismic survey, and project related studies.
