Jordan reduces imports of Egyptian gas by a factor of four- EGAS source

Jordan has reduced its imports of Egyptian natural gas to 75 mcf/d from 300 mcf/d due to falling demand, a source from state-owned EGAS tells the local press. The kingdom’s demand is expected to range between 75-150 mcf/d, the source said. Egypt began exporting natural gas to Jordan last September under a supply resumption agreement providing as much as 10% of Amman’s natural gas needs. Exports reached as much as 350 mcf/d last March.
