Production at Shell’s Rashid and Burullus fields rises to 290 mcf/d in September

Royal Dutch Shell’s natural gas output from the Rashid and West Nile Delta Burullus fields increased to 290 mcf/d in September from 220 mcf/d the previous month, an EGAS source told the local press. The company recently linked 80 mcf/d from a newly-developed well to the natural gas grid, offsetting the field’s natural depreciation. Shell aims to raise production to 320 mcf/d by the end of the fiscal year, the source said.
