开罗 - 2018年7月30日：埃及通用石油公司与英国公司BP签署新的石油协议，在苏伊士湾斋月东北部勘探和生产石油和天然气，投资额约为4600万美元，钻探资金为400万美元三口井。 

该协议由石油管理局首席执行官Abed Ezz al-Ghanim和英国石油公司（BP）北非Hisham Makkawi区域总裁签署。 

石油部长Tarek el-Molla表示，他的部门有一项雄心勃勃的计划，即在勘探和开发已发现油田以及增加当地石油和天然气产量方面增加石油投资。 

部长指出，新的石油协议提供了对增加产量至关重要的投资。 

关于与BP达成的协议，Molla表示，这是2016年石油管理局提出的石油勘探和开采全球招标的成果之一。 

“苏伊士湾地区继续享有充满希望的投资前景，因为石油工业在各个领域的研究，研究和现代技术的使用，“莫拉澄清道。 

自2014年以来签署的石油协议数量达到88项，协议正在签署13项新协议。 

BP在埃及工作了50年，专注于勘探和生产。目前，它与合作伙伴共同生产埃及全部石油产量的近15％，并占埃及天然气产量的30％。 

这家英国公司于2015年在东尼罗河三角洲北达米埃塔特许区发现了Atoll油田。该油田拥有1.5万亿立方英尺天然气和3100万桶凝析油。 

BP还持有Shorouk特许权10％的股份。 

本月早些时候，石油部在北西奈和苏伊士湾签署了三项石油和天然气勘探和生产协议。 

与南谷埃及石油控股公司（Ganope）和英国GHP公司签署了第一份协议，在西部Gebel El-Zeit特许经营区挖掘6口新井，总投资额为600万美元。 

Gebel El-Zeit是一座孤立的细长山脉，高达457米，俯瞰着苏伊士湾的南端。 

第二份协议与埃及通用石油公司（EGPC）签署协议，在苏伊士湾的Ras Fanar特许经营区寻找石油，而第三份协议则与EGPC和英国Perenco石油和天然气公司签署，以便在北西奈海事特许权区进行勘探。 

埃及的天然气产量在2017年12月增加，达到340万吨，高于2016年12月的270万吨。

由于从上述项目开始生产，埃及的天然气产量目前为每天55亿立方英尺，增加了约160万立方英尺。 

该国的天然气总消费量约为每天60亿立方英尺，其中约65％用于电力部门。

CAIRO – 30 July 2018: Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation signed a new petroleum agreement with the British Company BP to explore and produce oil and gas in the northeast of Ramadan in the Gulf of Suez with investments of about $46 million and a $4 million grant to drill three wells. 

The agreement was signed by Chief Executive Officer of the Petroleum Authority Abed Ezz al-Ghanim, and Regional President of British Petroleum (BP) North Africa Hisham Makkawi. 

Minister of Petroleum Tarek el-Molla said that his ministry has an ambitious plan to increase petroleum investments in the fields of exploration and development of discovered fields, and increasing local production of oil and gas. 

The minister noted that new petroleum agreements provide investments that are essential to increase production. 

Regarding the agreement with BP, Molla said that it is one of the fruits of the global bidding for oil exploration and exploitation proposed by the Petroleum Authority in 2016. 

“The Suez Gulf region continues to enjoy promising investment prospects in light of the continuous development of the petroleum industry's research, studies and use of modern technologies in all sectors,” Molla clarified. 

The number of signed petroleum agreements reached 88 new agreements since 2014 and the authority is working on signing 13 new agreements. 

BP has been working in Egypt for 50 years, focusing on exploration and production. It currently produces almost 15 percent of Egypt’s entire oil production and close to 30 percent of Egypt’s gas production with its partners. 

The British company discovered Atoll field, in the North Damietta concession of the East Nile Delta, in 2015. The field has gas reserves of 1.5 trillion cubic feet of gas and 31 million barrels of condensates. 

BP also holds 10 percent stake of the Shorouk concession. 

Earlier this month, the Petroleum Ministry signed three agreements for oil and natural gas exploration and production in North Sinai and the Gulf of Suez. 

The first agreement was signed with South Valley Egyptian Petroleum Holding Company (Ganope) and Britain's GHP Corporation to dig six new wells in the western Gebel El-Zeit Concession with total investments of $6 million. 

Gebel El-Zeit is an isolated, elongate mountain that reaches up to 457 meters and overlooks the southern end of the Gulf of Suez. 

The second agreement was inked with the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) to search for oil in Ras Fanar Concession in the Gulf of Suez while the third one was signed with EGPC and Britain's Perenco Oil and Gas Company for exploring in North Sinai maritime concession. 

Egypt’s production of natural gas increased in December 2017 to reach 3.4 million tons, up from 2.7 million tons in December 2016. 

Egypt’s gas production currently stands at 5.5 billion cubic feet a day, after adding some 1.6 million cubic feet as a result of starting production from the aforementioned projects. 

The country's total natural gas consumption is about 6 billion cubic feet per day, of which roughly 65 percent goes to the electricity sector.
