Third production unit at Zohr field is online

Rosneft, Eni and BP, and the Egyptian oil and gas companies started up the third production unit of the Zohr project, increasing its maximum throughput capacity to 34 million m³/day. Thus, the production capacity of the Zohr gas field development project will go up by a factor of 1.5. The project is executed on concession terms with the Italian Eni S.p.A (60%) and the British BP (10%).
The third phase was put in operation only two weeks after the commissioning of the second phase (which doubled the capacity to 22 mln m³/day) and five months after the start of production in Zohr field. The maximum production capacity of the field is expected to reach 560 million m³/day by the end of 2018. The plateau production of 760 million m³/day is to be achieved by the end of 2019.
