Egypt: Atoll Phase One start-up

BP on 12 February announced the start of gas production from the Atoll Phase One project. The project, in the North Damietta concession in the East Nile Delta, is now producing 350mcf/d of gas and 10,000 b/d of condensate. Gas production from the field is supplied to Egypt’s national grid. Atoll is the first new project to come into production for BP in 2018, and follows start-ups last year at the giant Zohr field and the Taurus and Libra fields in the West Nile Delta development.
