Zohr production increased to 1B cubic meters daily before Ramadan

CAIRO - 7 May 2018: Minister of Petroleum Tarek el Mollah said Monday Zohr gas field production will rise to 900,000 million cubic meters per day before the fasting month of Ramadan.

At a joint press conference with Cypriot Minister of Energy Yiorgos Lakkotrypis, he said two lines will be added to the production in August.

Molla described the progress made in the field as a major achievement by companies operating in the project, which would contribute to curbing the imports of liquefied gas, supporting energy sector in Egypt, increasing the number of gas-operated vehicles and diversifying energy resources and petrochemical projects.
