Egypt’s oil and gas production fell in January 2025, according to data from the Middle East Economic Survey (Mees).
Natural gas output dropped 20% year-on-year (YoY) to 4.312 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) in January, reaching its lowest monthly level since December 2016.
On a monthly basis, natural gas production from the West Delta region declined by 3% in January to 3.1 bcf/d, marking an eight-year low.
Despite Shell bringing more West Delta Deep Marine wells online in early January, production still decreased.
Western Desert output has remained steady at 763 million cubic feet per day (mcf/d) since November, while onshore Nile Delta production fell to 332 mcf/d, its lowest level since mid-2014.
Mees noted that while some indicators suggest Egypt’s gas output could stabilize in 2025, high decline rates make a slower drop more likely than overall growth. In contrast, oil production shows little to no signs of improvement.
