The licensees, operator Wintershall Dea (40%) and partners Cheiron Energy (40%) and INA (20%), as well as the Egyptian Gas Holding Company (EGAS), will assess the discovery as a possible tie-back development towards the nearby infrastructure at Disouq. The Disouq gas project is operated by DISOUCO, a Joint Venture between Wintershall Dea and EGAS.<\/p>\n

Georg Bresser, Senior Vice President Global Exploration, said: \u201cThis discovery is another value-accretive exploration success in one of our well-established exploration areas. The East Damanhour acreage in the vicinity of our production infrastructure allows to quickly develop commercial discoveries and to make additional gas resources available.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sameh Sabry, Senior Vice President and Managing Director BU Egypt, said: \u201cWintershall Dea wants to grow in Egypt and this discovery is a positive sign. Egypt, the wider region and the world badly need additional energy resources and Wintershall Dea is doing all it can to deliver additional volumes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wintershall Dea started exploration at East Damanhour in November 2021. The discovery was made as the second exploration well in this license. The ED-2X well is located around three kilometers north of the existing Disouq field. The well encountered a 43-meter thick gas-bearing reservoir with a gas-water contact at 2627 meters. A thorough and fit-for-purpose data acquisition program has been carried out in the well and the discovery has been tested at peak production of 15 million standard cubic feet per day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
