Shell has started producing gas at the Mina West field in the Egyptian part of the Mediterranean Sea, Reuters reports. Production is expected to be 160 million cubic feet per day. The project, in which Shell has 60% and Kuwait's KUFPEC 40%, is connected to existing infrastructure to accelerate the start-up. A new source of local supply was opened against the background of a sharp decrease in the total gas production in Egypt, whose volumes in August were 48% lower than in 2021.
