The statement of the Ministry of Oil and Mineral Resources of Egypt revealed an integrated plan to develop the infrastructure of the natural gas sector in order to ensure the country’s energy needs by sustainable and flexible way, in an ambitious step to increase national energy security.
The plan includes the introduction of advanced units with floating changes in order to increase the ability of the national gas network to absorb local production and import gas within the framework of the national strategy to increase local production and diversify supplies against regional and international problems that affect world energy markets.
The ministry of Petroleum Has Concluded Agreements with Leading International Companies to Rent Four Floating Change Units, with a Total Capacy OF 2700 Million Cubic Feet Per Day Day Days Day Days During the Peak of the Summer Consumption of 2025, and these Units Include “Huwa Galian” Working in the Eye of Heat Since 2024, and “Energius Eskimo and” Energius Power “Linked to the Somid and Sonker Ports in the Eye Sokhna, and” Winter “Associated with the Lafer of the United Gas Company in Damietta.
The Ministry of Oil explained that in regional cooperation, coordination with the Khademite kingdom of Jordan led to the set of an additional unit of changes, Enerus -Fores, which will reach the port of Akaba at the end of July 2025 to be associated with the Arab gas line, adding 750 million cubic feet a day to two national network in Egypt.
The Ministry of Oil confirmed that these stages confirm Egypt to increase energy security by developing infrastructure, maximizing local production and diversification of supplies. In connection with the ongoing global problems in the energy market, these efforts are emphasized as evidence of Egypt’s ability to adapt to regional and international variables, as well as to ensure the effective needs of citizens and vital sectors. Information background:
The natural gas sector is one of the main pillars of the Egyptian economy, since it is the main source for the production of electricity and operation, and since in 2015 the detection of the giant field of the “back” in the Mediterranean Sea in 2015 reached global markets.
Egypt is faced with seasonal problems during the peak periods of consumption, especially in the summer, from the growing demand for electricity for the operation of air conditioning systems, and floating units of changes become a strategic solution to increase the elasticity of the national network, since this allows you to import liquefied natural gas and turn it into suitable gas for use in short time.
