CAIRO - 31 May 2018: The Pharaonic Petroleum Company (PhPC) on Thursday revealed that its total natural gas production hit 600 million cubic feet (mcf/d) per day, in addition to 11,000 barrels of condensate per day.

The announcement came during an inspection tour paid by Petroleum Minister Tarek el Molla to Port Said governorate to follow up on the progress of work at oil and gas production sites there.

During his tour, the minister said that underway projects to extract natural gas and its derivatives in Port Said represent a successful model on how to make good use of Egypt's natural gas resources.

The upcoming phase is expected to witness a boom in the activities of oil and gas exploration in some concession areas, especially after launching two global bids on this regard, el Molla added.
