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 village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

China’s neighbor surprises the world by hitting 1,200 seconds in a hypersonic missile engine test and sparking a military alert.

Fuel cells that use bacteria on the seabed could eliminate expensive battery replacement and keep submerged sensors working for much longer.

While countries compete for land for solar panels, Switzerland unrolls solar panels like a carpet between the tracks of an active railway.

The duel between Shein and Temu gained a new chapter in London, with accusations of mass copying, a dispute over suppliers, and an impact on global fast-fashion.
