Zohr gas field, Natural gas field in Mediterranean Sea, Egypt
Zohr is a natural gas field located in the Eastern Mediterranean beneath Egyptian waters. The production facility near Port Said processes substantial amounts of gas daily to supply the country's energy needs.
An Italian energy company discovered the field in 2015, marking a major development for Egypt's energy supply. Commercial production started a few years later and contributed to strengthening the country's energy infrastructure.
The development of this Mediterranean gas field strengthens Egypt's position as a regional energy center, transforming local industrial capabilities.
The field operates through multiple production facilities with regular daily extraction. Visitors can typically only view the infrastructure from a distance or through organized informational visits, as it remains an active industrial operation.
Thirteen production wells currently extract gas from reserves estimated at 30 trillion cubic feet, with plans to drill over 200 wells during operation.
