This marked the fourth discovery by Kuwait Energy Ñ one of the largest
private contractors in the Middle East Ñ since 2006.
The company has been
operating 10 exploration and production blocks in five areas of Egypt and
plans to drill another five wells by 2010.
"Our continued discoveries in Egypt are the result of our teams ability
to employ cutting edge technologies in an area where others have been less
successful in their search," Kuwait Energy deputy chairman Mohammed Al
Howqal said.
Comments
If people don't stop discovering new oil reserves, how are we ever going to run out of oil? If you keep finding carbon, we'll never get rid of it, and government can't justify taxing and regulating people to death. Somebody call Al Gore!
