Shell starts gas production from Egypt's Mina West field

By Reuters News

CAIRO, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Shell Egypt SHEL.L has started production from the Mina West gas field in the Egyptian Mediterranean, the company said on Sunday, adding a new source of domestic supply.

The field, discovered in 2023 in the North El-Amriya concession, could produce 160 million cubic feet of gas per day, the company estimates. It is connected to existing West Delta Deep Marine infrastructure, which Shell said enabled it to complete the project faster.

Field operator Shell has a 60% stake in Mina West while a subsidiary of Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company (KUFPEC) holds the remaining 40%.

Egypt’s gas production was about 112.6 billion cubic feet (bcf) in August, down about 48% from roughly 214.7 bcf in August 2021 and about 10.5% below a year earlier, according to the Joint Organisations Data Initiative (JODI).
