While it remains unclear which company will make the first draw, we had <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/10\/18\/natural-gas-act-executive-regulations-to-be-ready-this-month\/\">heard last year<\/a> that EGAS gave BB Energy, Fleet Energy, and Qalaa Holdings\u2019 TAQA Arabia preliminary approval on natural gas import licenses, following the issuance of the Natural Gas Act, which reduces the state\u2019s role to regulator and opens the market to the private sector.

Oil Minister Tarek El Molla, who will chair the board, had <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/11\/16\/natural-gas-market-to-be-fully-deregulated-by-2022\/\">previously said<\/a> that the state will fully exit the market by 2022.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Energy security and stability are key for the welfare of the Egyptian people<\/strong>, Oil Minister Tarek El Molla told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/video\/2018\/02\/14\/egypt-oil-minister-91-percent-of-our-energy-supply-comes-from-fossil-fuels.html?play=1\">CNBC in an interview<\/a>.
