Head of Mech Eng & Technical Authority

Brownfield Head of Mechanical Engineering & Technical Authority

Where you fit In

Rashpetco/Burullus is a Joint Venture (JV) company operating one of Egypt's largest gas fields. The JV is the operator of the WDDM (West Delta Deep Marine) Field, which includes offshore wells, a control platform, and the 2.3 BCFD gas treatment plant capacity located at Idku (Egypt North Coast). WDDM production supplies gas to the National Grid and the adjacent "Egypt LNG" plant for LNG export. Shell is a significant partner in both Rashpetco and ELNG.

The WDDM field and facilities currently produce around 350 MMSCFD of gas & approx. 5,000 BPD of condensate. It also processes 3rd party gas from adjacent fields and as such, has a privileged position in supporting Egypt's strategy to become a gas hub in the Mediterranean region.
