LNG

Sept 10 (LNGJ) - BP has made a significant natural gas discovery in the East Nile Delta. The deepwater exploration well, named Salamat, is the deepest well ever drilled in the Delta. It is the first well in the North Damietta Offshore concession operated by BP. The Salamat discovery is located 75 kilometres north of Damietta city, where one of Egypt's two LNG plants are suffering feed-gas shortages because of high domestic demand.
