Increased Exploration and Production Activities to Drive the Market

  • Increased exploration and production activities in the country in recent years has driven the market in recent years and is expected to continue to do so during the forecast period too. This has led to increased rig count in the country; the average rig count in 2020-July 2020 reached 28 from 26 in 2019 and 2018.
  • The onshore oil and gas sector in Egypt is witnessing growth on account of the development of new projects and the discovery of new onshore reserves. In 2018, the onshore Block 10, also known as East Damanhour, was awarded to DEA by the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS). The block is located west of the Disouq development leases, and it spans over 1,418 Square Kilometers.
  • In May 2019, Norway-based TGS was awarded the onshore Upper Egypt project to collect geophysical data in the onshore area south of latitude 28 degrees. The contract includes gravity survey acquisitions using eFTG or FTG techniques, conducting a seismic survey for 10,000 kilometers, reprocessing all the current data, as well as conducting geophysical studies and carrying out a geological survey. The initial expected cost, i.e., for the airborne survey, is USD 50 million.
  • In July 2019, it was reported that Eni had started production from the South West Meleiha project, located in the Egyptian Western Desert, which is around 130 kilometers north of the oasis of Siwa. The production is delivered through two oil wells and is about 5,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd). It is expected that the output will reach 7,000 bpd by September 2019.
  • All of the above factors combined are expected to help drive the Egypt oil and gas upstream market during the forecast period.
