West Nile Delta development project, Egypt

West Nile Delta development project.
Location

Client
BP (82.75%), RWE Dea (17.25%).
Project Description
The West Nile Delta development includes five gasfields across the North Alexandria and West Mediterranean Deepwater offshore concession blocks. It was originally planned as two separate projects, but BP and its partners realised the opportunity to deliver it in three stages, accelerating delivery of gas production commitments to Egypt.
Stage 1, which started producing in 2017, included gas production from the first two fields, Taurus and Libra.
The Giza and Fayoum development, which includes eight wells, is producing about 400-million cubic feet of gas a day and is expected to ramp up to a maximum rate of about 700-million cubic feet of gas a day.
The third stage of the West Nile Delta project will develop the Raven field.
When fully onstream in 2019, combined production from all three phases of the West Nile Delta project is expected to reach almost 1.4-billion cubic feet a day, equivalent to about 20% of Egypt’s current gas production. All the gas produced will be fed into the national gas grid.
