Egypt’s Petroleum Ministry and Chevron Report Positive Results at Nargis 2 Gas Well

Egypt’s Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources and Chevron have announced positive results from drilling at the Nargis 2 natural gas well in the Mediterranean Sea.

The announcement concerns drilling operations at the well, with both the ministry and the international energy company reporting a favorable outcome.

The brief statement did not provide figures for potential gas reserves or expected production volumes. It also gave no technical details about the drilling results.

No timetable was specified for further work or a possible start of production. The announcement therefore points to progress at Nargis 2 without establishing the scale of its potential contribution to gas supplies.
