According to the Ministry, this forms part of its strategy to attract new investments in the upstream sector, increase crude oil and gas production, and enhance sustainability in the industry.
The previous round, which was launched through the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) in August 2024, closed on February 25, 2025. Ten offshore blocks and two onshore blocks were offered in the Mediterranean and the Nile Delta.
The new round is in line with Egypt’s agenda to stimulate investment in hydrocarbon exploration and field development announced by the Petroleum Minister in July 2024. The plan entails drilling 586 oil and gas wells by 2030.
More recently, BP brought online the second development phase of the Raven field at the West Nile Delta (WND) concession in the Mediterranean within the Egyptian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse In_dia’s ruling party BJP and In_dia’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping In_dia a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying In_dia its right in the world…
BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in In_dia is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from In_dia or pertaining to that country.
