5th Gas Find in Egypt by Dana Gas

The discovery follows a dry gas discovery at the West Manzala-2 well and three gas and condensate discoveries at the El Basant-1, El-Basant-2 and Salma-1 wells, since 2008.

The Azhar-1 would add up to 100bn cubic feet, the equivalent of 16m barrels of oil, to the Dana Gas's reserves in Egypt when production starts in mid-2009, the company, which is the region’s largest private sector natural gas firm.

The development plan for the discovery was current being prepared, said Egypt country director Hany Elsharkawi.

"The close proximity of this discovery to our existing plant and to the El Basant discovery enables us to bring these fields on stream quickly and comparatively cheaply." he added.
