• Location: Shorouk Block, Egypt’s Offshore Mediterranean
• Production start: 2017
• Partners: ENI 60%, Rosneft 30%, BP 10%
• Type: Gas
• Estimated Reserves: 850 BCM, (about 5.5 billion barrels of oil equivalent)
• Production Volume: 2 bcfd, equivalent to approximately 365,000 boed

Description

• Zohr, a super giant field, is the largest gas discovery ever made in Egypt and in the Mediterranean Sea. Initial estimates were for 30 TCF of reserves
