Egypt: Kuwait Energy commissions gas plant

Kuwait Energy and Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation have commissioned a gas plant at the Abu Sennan concession in the Western Desert. The plant aims to optimise utilisation of the hydrocarbons on the block. “The associated gas is now captured and processed for domestic utilization, while simultaneously removing a bottleneck in oil production resulting in an increase in total field throughput,” the company said. Kuwait Energy holds a 50% revenue interest and is the operator in the Abu Sennan development lease, while Dover Investments holds 28% and Beach Energy holds 22%.
