Energy major bp and its partner Harbour Energy have started production at the second phase of the Raven development, offshore Egypt. Forming part of the wider West Nile Delta (WND) development the second phase aims to boost natural gas output in Egypt.
The partners completed the subsea tieback of additional Raven infill wells to the existing onshore infrastructure, boosting production at the broader WND project. The additional infill wells are projected to produce 220 billion cubic feet of gas and 7 million barrels of condensate.
“The focus of the Raven Infills project has been to fight natural decline and increase production while maximizing our existing infrastructure to meet Egypt’s domestic market demand at pace,” stated Nader Zaki, Regional President: Middle East and North Africa, bp.
The first phase of the Raven field development comprised the development of eight subsea wells, approximately 65km offshore. This phase has been operational since 2021.
