Egypt: Badawi inaugurates TAQA Gas' station in New Valley Governorate
Arab Finance: Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Karim Badawi has inaugurated the main gas station, operated by TAQA Gas, which supplies El Kharga City in the New Valley Governorate, according to a statement. It provides gas supplies through a permanent pressure reduction station, a vehicle fueling station, and a car conversion center to natural gas. This project reflects the strong collaboration between the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC), New Valley Governorate, and the private sector. Reda Abdel Rahman, Deputy Managing Director of TAQA Gas, highlighted that the main station capacity stands at 2,500 standard cubic meters per hour (SCm³/h), which can be extended to 5,000 SCm³/h. Abdel Rahman added that 270,000 meters of medium and low-pressure pipelines have already been installed and supplied with natural gas. He noted that the number of residential clients connected in Phase 1 reached 5,750, with 8,300 more targeted in Phase 2. Additionally, six municipal bakeries were converted in the first phase, with 24 more targeted in the second phase. Meanwhile, the number of vehicles converted to operate on gas reached 409. © 2020-2023 Arab Finance For Information Technology. All Rights Reserved. Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc. (

In the Midst of War, a Tale of Hot Dogs
The hot dog statue wore tennis shoes and held a Ukrainian flag in its left hand and an American flag in its right. (The hot dog had hands.) Standing outside the flagship store of the Ukrainian gas station chain Socar, the statue displayed a sign advertising 'Nathan's Famous' hot dogs in the same green curlicue script that promotes the chain at its original location in Brooklyn's Coney Island and Nathan's outlets everywhere. On a recent Wednesday afternoon, Ivan Pozniak, a 35-year-old airline pilot, walked past the statue and into the store connected to the gas station. He was about to try his first Nathan's Famous hot dog. 'Overall, it's delicious,' Mr. Pozniak said after his first bite of the so-called New York hot dog, with mustard, ketchup and sweet pickle relish. 'I usually prefer more classic sauces like Tabasco or the standard ketchup and mayonnaise — that's what I'm used to. This pickle relish surprised me, but in a good way.' Hot dogs are ubiquitous in Ukraine. But for a long time the market has been dominated by a kind of hot dog encased in a tubular panini and described, for a reason no French person seems to know, as the 'French' dog. The story of how Nathan's dogs — settled in their open, messy buns — found a foothold in the country is in many ways a reflection of how much Ukraine has tilted toward the West in past decades. There are now 27 Nathan's Famous outlets in Socar gas stations in Ukraine. Despite the war, as much as possible, the lights have stayed on. Business is not booming, but it is OK.
