据烃加工新闻10月27日消息称，BP宣布其最新开发项目“埃及海上项目”开始生产–位于北达米埃塔海上特许权的卡塔迈亚气田。

该油田由BP的合资企业法老王石油公司（PhPC）进行开发，预计天然气日产量达5000万立方英尺。

BP北非区域总裁Karim Alaa表示：“通过BP在埃及海上大量重要资产和基础设施，我们能够高效、经济地开发卡塔迈亚。通过高质量、高效的油气开发创造价值是BP战略的关键部分。我们认为这是恢复碳氢化合物开发的一个很好的例子。

“我们很自豪能在一个极具挑战性的时期内安全地将该项目投入生产。我们的团队将继续努力，以支持埃及实现其能源资源的潜力，增加我们的交付记录，并通过我们与埃及石油部门的牢固合作伙伴关系来实现这一目标。”

卡塔迈亚于2017年宣布发现，它位于Ha'py平台以西约45公里，水深108米。

BP在东尼罗河三角洲的北达米埃塔海上特许权中拥有100％的股权。油田的天然气生产将直接运往埃及的国家电网。
