With the capacity to produce up to 2 billion cubic meters of gas per day, the new well in Zohr reinforces Egypt’s role as an energy power and enhances its self-sufficiency in the Mediterranean

The Egyptian government announced the completion of drilling a new well in the natural gas field of Zohr, located in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The structure, according to the Minister of Petroleum, Karim Badawi, has an estimated production capacity approaching 2 billion cubic meters of gas per day.

This volume is equivalent, in oil barrels, to about 12.5 million per day — a number higher than that of exporting countries like Brazil and Canada.

The advancement reinforces Egypt’s plan to expand its energy matrix and reduce dependence on imports.

New Milestone in Energy Strategy

Badawi stated that the new well represents a milestone in national efforts to increase local production and meet growing internal demand.

“The operation establishes the foundations for the next phases of exploration and development in the Zohr field,” declared the minister, quoted by the Egyptian portal Sada El-Balad.

The Zohr field is recognized as one of the largest natural gas discoveries in the Mediterranean. Since it became operational in 2017, it has played a central role in the country’s energy strategy.

Export and Strengthened Regional Position

The exploration of Zohr has restored Egypt’s status as a natural gas exporter, as well as consolidating the country as an important regional energy hub.

The result strengthens the Egyptian government’s position in the international energy scenario, as it enhances supply security and export capacity.

New Drillings and Future Goals of Egypt

In addition to the completed drilling in Zohr, the Ministry of Petroleum has started another work in the Denise field, located about 98 meters below sea level.

The new drilling is expected to reach a depth exceeding 4,200 meters, with the aim of assessing the potential for new reserves.

These actions are part of the national plan to ensure energy self-sufficiency and sustainable growth in gas supply to the country.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

End of bricklayers laying brick by brick: robot places more than 2,000 bricks per day, automatically applies cement, works with only one human operator next to the machine, and transforms traditional masonry into a high-speed semi-automated operation.

Scientists have discovered that the Earth recycles its own continents in the depths, dragging pieces of crust down during plate collisions and returning them later as magma, in a mechanism called relamination that has helped build the continents for billions of years.

Turkey is building a billion-dollar shortcut to channel billions of dollars by sea with a 45 km long canal, 275 meters wide and 20.75 meters deep, which promises to relieve the Bosphorus amid the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.

Nissan sells “Kicks popular” cheaper than Kwid, Mobi, and C3 in Brazil; for about R$ 30,000 in conversion without taxes, Magnite looks like a compact SUV, with 16-inch wheels, 6 airbags starting from the Visia version, and represents an affordable Nissan that disappeared from Brazilian stores.

During the construction of a cargo terminal in the Northeast, workers stumbled upon the bones of a long-necked dinosaur about 20 meters long that lived 120 million years ago.

China has put millions of electric cars on the roads, but now faces the side effect: more than 1 million tons of batteries are expected to go out of use per year by 2030, while the government expands tracking and combats illegal dismantling with environmental risks.
