<\/a> Zohr officially came to life yesterday:<\/strong> Eni announced<\/a> the production of first gas from the supergiant Zohr field. The Italian company says the production was reached in \u201crecord time for this type of field of less than two and a half years.\u201d CEO Claudio Descalzi says Zohr, which is estimated to hold 30 tcf of gas, \u201cwill completely transform Egypt\u2019s energy landscape, allowing it to become self-sufficient and to turn from an importer of natural gas into a future exporter. I would like to thank the Egyptian Authorities and all our Partners in this incredible project for their all-important contributions and the whole Egyptian petroleum sector which provided full support to achieve Zohr project in a record time.\u201d Eni holds a 60% stake in Zohr, with Rosneft controlling 30%, and BP 10%. BP North Africa Regional President Hesham Mekawi also praised the speed at which Zohr is being developed<\/a>, saying: \u201cthe development of Zohr in a record time has brought a new critical source of energy to the Egyptian market. BP\u2019s two other current major projects in Egypt \u2013 Atoll and the second phase of the West Nile Delta project \u2013 will bring further new gas resources into production. Together these projects will play an important role in supporting and reshaping Egypt's energy sector.\u201d BP said that the launch of production from Zohr completes is program of starting up seven major upstream projects in 2017, according to Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since actual production started on Saturday, the foreign press has jumped on Zohr as an Egypt success story. <\/strong>Forbes Middle East notes<\/a> the change to Egypt\u2019s energy dynamics and its eventual transition to exporter, while UPI is stressing<\/a> the speed with which production has started almost two years after discovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
