BP has made a third gas discovery in Egypt’s offshore North Damietta concession, with the company now assessing options to tie the discovery to existing nearby infrastructure as part of its pledge to help meet the country’s rising domestic gas demand.
“We are delighted to sustain our success in these shallow Pliocene targets. We believe development of Qattameya could help unlock the resources in other nearby discoveries with similar shallow low pressure characteristics,” said BP’s North Africa president Hesham Mekawi.
