Egypt expands hydraulic fracturing, horizontal drilling to boost petroleum, gas output

Egypt ·

Petroleum Minister Karim Badawi said hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling are key technologies in the sector's five-year plan. He inspected hydraulic fracturing operations at the H-18 well in the Al Abyad field in the Western Desert, which is operated by the Badr Eldin Petroleum Company (BAPETCO).

Hydraulic fracturing is a technique that extracts oil and gas from tight rock by injecting fluid under high pressure into wells.
