BENI SUEF, Egypt — The first gas regulator station operated by a Chinese company in Egypt will be operational in September, a company representative said Tuesday.
The Beni Suef station, operated by China Petroleum Technology & Development Corporation (CPTDC), a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), will start pumping natural gas in September, Qitang Li, a CPTDC representative in Cairo told Xinhua.
CPTDC signed a $20 million deal with Egyptian Natural Gas Company (GASCO) in 2016 to establish three gas regulator stations in Egypt.
Under the deal, the Beni Suef station, 150 kilometers south to the Egyptian capital Cairo, will start operating in September, while the other two stations at Burullus city and the new administrative capital will start assembling work soon, Li said.
