Eni started operations at a new gas processing facility in Egypt’s Western Desert as part of its Meleiha Phase 2 project, the Italian state-controlled energy company said Tuesday.
The company began start-up activities for a new gas hub within the Merged Meleiha concession. The facility can process up to 100 million standard cubic feet of gas daily.
The project will connect new production to Egypt’s existing gas infrastructure and increase gas supply for the domestic market, Eni said.
Eni produced approximately 242 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day in Egypt on an equity basis in 2025, making it the country’s largest energy producer.
