Arab Finance: The drilling vessel Saipem 10000 arrived in Egypt on January 28th to begin the drilling works at the Zohr natural gas field, the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources announced.
The vessel will deploy modern technology and start the drilling operations at the natural gas field to increase gas production.
