New production at Shell’s (formerly BG’s) West Nile Delta field 9B is expected to reach 350-400 mcf per day by 2019, an Egyptian petroleum ministry official told Reuters on Monday.
Separately, production from the first 3 wells in the field is set to begin in the 2018-2019 fiscal year, the ministry said in a statement earlier.
The field is owned by Egypt’s General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC), Malaysia’s Petronas and Shell.
