Egypt’s Zohr gas field has increased its natural gas output by 60 million cubic feet per day following the successful redrilling of the Zohr-6 well, the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources announced on Friday.

The redrilling was carried out using the deepwater drilling rig “Saipem 10000,” after it returned to the Zohr gas field in January to resume operations per the approved development plan.

Following the completion of Zohr-6, the rig carried out its scheduled tasks. It began drilling at the “Zohr-13” well, which engineering studies estimate will add 55 million cubic feet of gas per day.

The drilling operations mark a significant step toward strengthening the natural gas supply system. They will further enhance domestic production levels and confirm earlier predictions by the Ministry of Petroleum.

Furthermore, these efforts align with the ministry’s strategy to boost domestic production, ensure energy availability, and provide petroleum products to various sectors while meeting citizens’ needs.

In a statement, the ministry further highlighted its successful partnership with Italian company Eni, operator of the Zohr Field, resulting in the implementation of previously agreed development plans.

It highlighted the Egyptian government’s full support of its operations to encourage investment in the petroleum sector, maximise domestic output, and ensure energy security and resource sustainability
