BP started production in Qattameya gas field in Egypt’s North Damietta offshore concession about 45 km west of the Ha’py platform in 108 m of water. Field discovery was announced in 2017.
BP’s joint venture with Pharaonic Petroleum Co. (PhPC) developed the field as a one-well subsea tieback to Ha’py and Tuart field through a new 50-km pipeline. It also connects to existing subsea utilities via a 50-km umbilical. The field is expected to produce up to 50 MMcfd and will be directed to Egypt’s national grid.
BP holds 100% equity in the North Damietta offshore concession in the East Nile Delta. PhPC is a British Petroleum and Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Co. (EGAS) joint venture operating the West Harbour gas processing facility.
