Egypt speeds up tie-in of two new wells after promising discoveries

Egypt’s Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources announced promising production results following the completion of drilling two new wells in the Western Desert, with initial tests showing a combined natural flow of about 1,650 barrels of crude oil and 19 million cubic feet of gas per day.

The ministry said the two wells — 'Dorra-36' and 'West Yasmine-3' — targeted the 'Khatatba' and 'Masajid' geological formations, using the latest drilling technologies.

It added that technical teams are currently working to accelerate the tie-in of the two wells to existing production facilities, to ensure they enter service as soon as possible and support higher production rates.
