Name and Location
West Nile Delta (WND) development project, Alexandria, Egypt.

Project Description
The WND project is located between the North Alexandria and the West Mediterranean deep-water concessions, off Alexandria, in Egypt. The project forms part of a larger development plan on both concessions for potential hydrocarbon resources.

The first phase is expected to develop an estimated 142-billion cubic metres of gas and associated condensate, through subsea development of five offshore fields into a new purpose-built onshore gas plant on the Mediterranean coast.

Production from the WND development is forecast to generate up to 28-million cubic metres a day, providing a major new source of gas for the domestic market.

The scale of investment and activities of the WND project is expected to create thousands of job opportunities during the different project phases, and will significantly contribute to the growth of petroleum-related industries in the country.

Value
The project is estimated at $9-billion.

Duration
First gas from phase one of the project is expected in late 2014.

Client
BP holds 60% of the North Alexandria concession and Germany's RWE Dea the remaining 40%.

The West Mediterranean concession is held and operated by BP with an 80% share, and RWE Dea with a 20% stake.

Key Contracts and Suppliers
KBR (onshore terminal and export pipelines).

Latest Developments
KBR has been selected by BP to undertake the second stage of concept selection and definition for the onshore terminal and export pipelines for the project. Activities to be undertaken include the development of a technical definition package for the terminal that will process 28-million standard cubic metres a day of gas and condensate to sales specifications from a number of offshore fields.

On Budget and on Time?
