Egypt is making headlines again with a fresh oil discovery in the Abu Sennan field in the Western Desert. According to the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, preliminary tests on the new GPR-1X well suggest production rates of up to 1,400 barrels of crude oil and nearly one million cubic feet of gas daily from the Bahariya formation.
This find isn’t just about immediate output—it could boost Egypt's oil reserves by an additional two million recoverable barrels. EGPC Chairman Mohamed Abdel Majeed confirmed that testing is underway at the production station and hinted at more potential oil waiting in the Abu Rawash G and B formations, based on recent electrical logging data.
Remarkably, this is the second discovery in the region within three months, both achieved by leveraging advanced artificial intelligence technologies. It’s a clear sign that innovation can uncover hidden treasures even in mature fields! 🚀
With major finds like the Zohr gas field in the Mediterranean already paving the way, Egypt is on track to become a key regional hub for oil and liquefied natural gas. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting journey!
