He pointed out that the growing market needs will be met by connecting wells from Zohr and North Alexandria gas fields to the natural gas grid.
In regards to the current fiscal year, he revealed that domestic gas consumption is estimated to reach nearly 6.5bn scf/day.
Egypt's overall development plans forecast that domestic gas average consumption to record 9bn scf/day, by FY2020/21.
The Ministry of Petroleum aims to link Zohr, North Alexandria, and Borollos gas field to increase domestic gas production.

The plan of the Ministry of Petroleum aims to complete the implementation of the fields of Zohr and North Alexandria, as well as the fields of Borollos.
The source pointed out that the increase in Egypt's natural gas production contributed to achieving self-sufficiency locally, with the operation of the Idku liquefaction plants through the gas coming from Cyprus and Israel and the Jordan gas pipeline, while retaining the gasification ship in the Arab Petroleum Pipelines Company (SUMED)'s pier at Ain Sokhna port.
