Egypt speeds up tie-in for two new oil wells
Egypt’s Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources announced promising production results from two new wells in the Western Desert, WAM reported.
Initial tests showed a combined natural flow of about 1,650 barrels of crude oil and 19 million cubic feet of gas per day.
The ministry said the two wells — 'Dorra-36' and 'West Yasmine-3' — targeted the 'Khatatba' and 'Masajid' geological formations, using the latest drilling technologies.
It added that technical teams are currently working to accelerate the tie-in of the two wells to existing production facilities, to ensure they enter service as soon as possible and support higher production rates.
As reported earlier, Jordan's oil import bill fell 3.4% through October, easing the growth in total imports.
