Al-Batal pointed out that the production indicators in the first half of FY 2017/2018 showed that the daily oil production from Badr's fields in the Western Desert reached about 123,000 barrels. In addition, the company made two new discoveries in the aforementioned period with oil reserves amounting to 8m barrels.

He added that the company plans to increase its production rates in the next six months through increasing the number of drilling rigs and intensifying maintenance operations of existing wells, as well as increasing the production capacity of some wells in the Niag fields in the Western Desert.
Al-Batal affirmed his company's adherence to apply the highest health and safety measures as well as performance excellence, noting that one of Badr's drilling operations was named by Shell as the best drill in the world.
The statements came during a meeting, chaired by Minister of Petroleum Tarek Al-Mulla, to discuss and approve the planning investment budgets of Badr Petroleum Company for FY 2018/2019.
