Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Karim Badawi confirmed the continuation of the program to enhance production at the Zohr field in cooperation with investment partners, as part of the ministry’s strategy to secure local energy needs.

The offshore drilling rig Saipem 10000 has completed the sidetrack drilling operations at the Zohr-6 well.

Eni plans to drill two new gas wells in Egypt’s Zohr field next year, with an estimated investment of $360 million.

Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Karim Badawi announced the resumption of development work at the Zohr gas field following the arrival of the Saipem 10000 drilling ship in Egyptian waters at the end of January.

Drilling operations at the Zohr natural gas field will be resumed on January 28th or 29th, 2025, Claudio Descalzi, CEO of Italian company Eni, told Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly.

Development work at the Zohr natural gas field is set to resume during January, Egypt’s Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Karim Badawi said.

The Italian energy company Eni has delayed the production of 220 million cubic feet of gas per day from Egypt's Zohr field until May 2025, instead of the previously scheduled January.

Zohr gas field’s production volume is expected to return to pre-crisis levels by mid-2025, which would significantly bode well for Egypt by reducing the import bill and boosting exports, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly announced.

Eni’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Francesco Gattei expressed optimism about Egypt’s improving macroeconomic landscape, signaling a bright future for the country’s oil sector.

Italian energy firm Eni is set to resume drilling at the Zohr natural gas field in December, with the arrival of a rig to drill two new wells.

The Zohr natural gas field in the Mediterranean will undergo new drilling operations by the Italian energy company Eni over the coming period, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Karim Badawi announced.

The Egyptian government, in collaboration with the Cypriot government, is looking to establish a 90-kilometer-long underwater pipeline connecting the Cypriot Aphrodite offshore gas field to the offshore production facilities of Egypt’s Zohr gas field.

Zohr, the largest natural gas field in the Mediterranean, is anticipated to attract investments totaling $15 billion over the next three years.
