He added that once the first stage of the project is completed in June 2018, production will increase to 28 mcm, meaning Egypt would have achieved self-sufficiency in LNG supply.<br \/> \t&#8220;The second stage is due to be finalized by the end of 2019,&#8221; he said, with production reaching 76 mcm.<br \/> \tLast week, El-Molla said Egypt aims to achieve self-sufficiency in LNG supply before the end of 2018.<br \/> \tEgypt was a net exporter of LNG until 2014. However, it became a net importer in recent years due to a declining output and power shortages amid political turmoil.<br \/> \tIn October, El-Molla announced that $27.3 million would be invested in three Egyptian natural gas fields\u2014Zohr, North Alexandria, and Nooros\u2014during 2018. The three gas fields are expected to raise Egypt&#8217;s natural gas output by 50% in 2018 and 100% in 2020, according to the ministry.<\/p>\n<p> \t\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>madaresharghi Egypt&#8217;s super-giant Zohr Gas Field started pumping on Saturday, bringing the country closer to achieving its goal of self-sufficiency in the supply of liquefied natural gas.
