Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Shell Oil Co. and Petronas Carigali plan to drill an eight-well program in the West Nile Delta prospect in the Mediterranean Sea. The West Nile Delta Deep Marine Phase 9B program is set for completion in late 2019. The production anticipated by Houston-based Shell is about 400 MMcf per day of gas, but Shell has not disclosed the volume of gas to be produced from the first two wells to be drilled. The West Nile Delta Deep Marine development is part of Egypt’s drive to achieve gas self-sufficiency before the end of 2018 and stop the importation of LNG. Shell is the operator of the West Nile Delta Deep Marine Concession in partnership with Egyptian General Petroleum Corp. and Petronas Carigali.
