BP brings West Nile Delta gas online two years early, adds 80 MMcf/d to Egypt supply

BP has started production from a West Nile Delta development off Egypt's Mediterranean coast, adding ~80 MMcf/d of gas to domestic supply and beating schedule by two years. The early startup boosts Egypt's near-term gas availability amid regional supply tightness, though the volume is modest relative to national demand. The development signals continued upstream investment in the Eastern Mediterranean despite broader sector headwinds.
