Shell to begin Egyptian gas production in late 2026

Shell will commence gas production from a new Egyptian field in the fourth quarter of 2026, according to Africa Oil+Gas Report.

The project represents continued investment in Egypt's hydrocarbon sector, which supplies both domestic consumption and export revenues. Shell maintains significant operations across North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean.

Egypt's gas production capacity supports regional energy security and European liquefied natural gas import demand. The timeline reflects development progress following project approval and infrastructure construction phases.
