Egypt boosts daily gas output by 45 million cubic feet via four wells

Egypt raised its domestic natural gas production by 45 million cubic feet per day after bringing three new wells online and restarting a fourth.

• The Petroleum Ministry said the wells in the Western Desert, Gulf of Suez, and onshore Nile Delta also added about 540 barrels per day of condensates.
• The ministry linked the increase to partner investments returning to targeted rates after settlement of overdue dues.
• The ministry said Khalda Petroleum put well SKAL-2 in West Kalabsha into production at a rate of about 12 million cubic feet of gas daily.
