Egypt has seen a significant boost in oil output from its Western Desert, which covers roughly two-thirds of the country's land area, supporting the country's overall objective of bolstering local energy supply.
According to official data, crude oil and condensate output increased by almost 12,000 barrels per day in the last two weeks.
The increase reflects the country’s continuous attempts to maximize production from existing assets as the global energy industry is met with significant challenges.
Recent reports in the past few months show just how Egypt has been turning to its arid lands to boost its energy security.
