Egypt to reopen Mellaha gas station in September
Egypt plans to operate the Milaha gas plant in the Western Desert in September 2026 with a production capacity of approximately 100 million cubic feet of natural gas per day, aiming to increase local production and reduce reliance on imports. This initiative is part of a comprehensive plan to boost exploration and production activities by 20% in 2026, through drilling new wells and accelerating contractual processes. The project is dedicated to leveraging the area's reserves by establishing a processing plant linked to the Alexandria gas complex. Additionally, the Italian company Eni has signed an agreement to merge the Milaha and Deep Milaha areas until 2036, with the possibility of extension until 2041, in order to enhance gas reserves and increase production to meet domestic market needs. In 2025, Agiba Petroleum Company achieved a significant increase in oil production, reaching 32,000 barrels per day, and plans to drill over 100 exploratory wells in 2026, including gas wells in the Mediterranean Sea, with the goal of developing reserves and integrating them into the national network.
