BP Announces Successful Drilling at Zohr Field in Egypt and Discovery of New Gas Reservoirs
British oil company BP has announced the successful completion of drilling operations at the Fayoum-5 exploration well in the North Alexandria region, located in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Egypt. Drilling operations began on February 14, making this well the final one in a series of four wells within the West Nile Delta project.
In a statement, BP confirmed that the drilling resulted in the discovery of four potential gas reservoirs from the Miocene era, located at a depth of approximately 2,860 meters, with a total sand thickness of 50 meters. The company also mentioned that this discovery is expected to be connected to the existing onshore facilities of the West Nile Delta project operated by BP.
This marks BP’s second discovery in the area, following the King-2 gas well in the North King Mariout offshore concession. The West Nile Delta project includes several gas fields located offshore along Egypt’s northern coast, within the North Alexandria and deep-water regions of the Mediterranean.
