BP begins gas production from second development phase of Egypt's Raven field
As the project operator, BP holds an 82.75% stake, with Harbour Energy owning the remaining 17.25%. The newly developed wells are expected to yield approximately 220 billion cubic feet of gas and 7 million barrels of condensate. The project was executed safely and ahead of schedule, enabling an accelerated production start.
Nader Zaki, BP's Regional President for the Middle East and North Africa, stated: 'Since January 2024, we have not stopped drilling for a single day. The focus of the Raven Infills project has been to counter natural decline, enhance production, and maximize our existing infrastructure to meet Egypt's domestic energy demand efficiently. This achievement underscores BP's commitment to investing in Egypt, made possible through our strong partnership with the Ministry of Petroleum, EGPC, and EGAS.'
Wail Shaheen, VP of BP Egypt, said: 'The safe start-up of this project follows our recent success with the El King exploration well. These milestones reflect our ongoing dedication to meeting rising local energy needs by optimizing production from existing resources while continuing to explore new ones.'
The WND Gas Development consists of multiple gas condensate fields offshore Egypt, within the North Alexandria and West Mediterranean Deepwater concessions. The Raven field, the final phase of the WND project, has been in production since early 2021. Its initial phase involved the development of eight subsea wells, situated up to 65 km offshore, at depths ranging from 550 to 700 meters.

Innovation Crew Transforms Emirates Palace in 48 Hours for BRABUS Island Launch - Middle East Business News and Information
Cosmo Developments, BRABUS, and Innovation Crew deliver a full-scale brand takeover inside one of the world's most iconic venues. July, UAE: BRABUS Island , the first ever branded residential project by German performance brand BRABUS, made its regional debut in April with a high-speed launch at Emirates Palace. Developed by Cosmo Developments – powered by Reportage Group – the concept was unveiled at an event produced by Innovation Crew, who were tasked with delivering a fully immersive brand experience under strict venue and time constraints. The event introduced one of the boldest real estate concepts in the region. The brief was clear: transform one of the world's most iconic venues into a trademark BRABUS experience. No walls could be touched. The brand's bold, black-on-black aesthetic had to be felt in every detail. And it had to be done in 48 hours. 'We had just a few days to finalize the creative, plan the journey, source materials, rehearse, and execute,' said Sony AbdelMohsen, General Manager of Innovation Crew. 'When they told us they wanted to dim the gold, I laughed. But they weren't kidding – and neither were we, once the brief was in.' At the time, the agency was already managing eight large-scale campaigns across eight countries. With just 48 hours on the clock, the transformation was delivered on schedule. Additional crew were flown in from Riyadh and Cairo to support the Dubai-based team, with more than 50 specialists managing production, design, guest experience, and technology. Innovation Crew's leadership was also present on-site throughout the execution. To match BRABUS' signature black-on-black aesthetic, custom materials were sourced across the UAE, including carpets, furniture, cutlery, and textiles. Emirates Palace staff worked in close coordination with the agency to ensure all installations respected the venue's preservation guidelines. 'We couldn't alter the structure, but we had to silence it,' added Sony. 'Every shadow, spotlight, and surface was calculated. And if black plates and cutlery were missing across the UAE in April or May, you can probably blame us.' The result was a powerful sensory environment that brought the BRABUS universe to life without compromising the heritage space. The launch sparked significant digital traction, generating organic impressions across social media and online platforms, setting the benchmark for future branded real estate projects. It has been recognised as one of the most commercially successful real estate showcases of the year. This was not Innovation Crew's first moment in the spotlight. The agency is behind some of the region's most talked-about experiences, including Pepsi Titan's iconic takeover at Ain Dubai and other landmarks in the region, ADNOC's Youth Centers closing ceremony in collaboration with CAF, British Petroleum's West Nile Delta launch, Philips' Guinness World Record event at the Pyramids, and the opening of BSH's first factory in Africa. About Innovation Crew Group Innovation Crew is a regional BTL powerhouse with a presence across the MENA region, specializing in high-profile brand launches and immersive experiences. With teams in Dubai, Cairo, and Riyadh, the agency is trusted by brands like Pepsi, Lay's, Samsung, Nissan, and Total Energies to deliver seamless, high-impact execution when it matters most.

DP World Egypt handles largest-ever specialist vessel carrying slag cargo at Ain Sokhna Port
Basant Ahmed The Ministry of Petroleum is working to increase natural gas output across various geographic regions—including the onshore Nile Delta—to ensure a stable supply to the national gas grid. It also continues to closely track the implementation of exploration and production programmes through its affiliated companies, with the aim of maximising returns from available resources. These efforts are being carried out in collaboration with both local and international partners, and are supported by newly introduced incentive packages aimed at encouraging domestic oil and gas production. These initiatives contribute to strengthening the national energy system and advancing broader economic development objectives. The vessel, MV KEEPER, with an overall length (LOA) of 289 metres and carrying 152,150 metric tonnes of slag metal, sets a new operational record at the terminal. The shipment forms part of a broader commercial agreement, which will see the terminal handle approximately 300,000 tonnes in total, a significant increase compared to previous cargo volumes. CEO Mohammed Shihab said: 'The successful handling of MV KEEPER reflects the results of our continued investment in Egypt's trade infrastructure, through our multi-purpose terminal, integrated end-to-end logistics solutions, and the operational excellence of our team.
