BP makes another gas find in Egypt

BP has made another gas discovery in the North Damietta Offshore Concession in the East Nile Delta, Egypt. Options to tie the discovery back to nearby infrastructure are being studied. Bob Dudley, BP Group Chief Executive, commented: ‘Qattameya marks our third discovery in the block where we are already developing the Atoll field and appraising the Salamat discovery. This latest discovery confirms our belief that the Nile Delta is a world-class basin.’
