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.
