Production at Shell’s Rashid and West Nile Delta Burullus fields continues to drop

Royal Dutch Shell’s natural gas output from the Rashid and West Nile Delta Burullus fields has declined in April to 240 mcf/d from 250 mcf/d the previous month as a result of decreasing well productivity, an EGAS source told the local press. Shell is planning to link the first phase of Phase 9B of the West Nile Delta Burullus field by 1H2019 to produce 100 mcf/d to compensate for the drop, with the second phase coming online in the next financial year. The company aims to raise production to 350 mcf/d by the end of 2019.
