UAE Company Makes Gas Discovery in Egypt
UAE-based Dana Gas made a gas and condensate discovery in Egypt that would potentially double its gas reserves in the North African country
Arabian Business News reported the discovery was made at the Salma-1 well located in the West Qantara Concession and was expected to add over 200 billion cubic feet of gas to reserves, the company said in a statement.
Dana made four gas discoveries in Egypt last year, the most recent in December at the El-Basant 2 well, located in the West El Manzala Concession in the Qawasim formation.
"The excellent results yielded by the Salma-1 well definitely call for more exploratory drilling in the area, where there are several similar prospects which we will be planning soon," Ahmed al-Arbeed, Dana Gas upstream executive director, said in the statement.
