BP Adds 80 MMcf/d to Egypt’s Gas Supply Two Years Ahead of Schedule
Roughly two years ahead of schedule, BP has started production from the Fayoum-4 well in Egypt’s West Nile Delta, adding around 80 million cubic feet per day of natural gas to a market where declining domestic production has forced Cairo back into large-scale LNG imports, Egyptian media reported on Monday. Fayoum-4 was connected to BP’s existing West Nile Delta processing facilities through the Giza-Fayoum pipeline, eliminating the need for new subsea infrastructure.

BP operates the facilities with an 82.75% interest, while Harbour Energy holds the remaining 17.25%. BP discovered Fayoum during its 2025 exploration campaign and later drilled a sidetrack from the existing well to reach new Messinian reservoir layers at a depth of around 3,000 meters. Using the existing well, pipeline and processing facilities allowed BP to move first production forward by about two years.
