Pharos Energy, a UK-based International oil company, wanted to reduce gas flaring, diesel consumption and provide cooking gas to communities in Egypt’s Western Desert.

The site in question contained 11 oil wells and considerable distance between them – around 1.5km. Another aspect to be taken into consideration is that the power plant that currently provided the energy for the site is within an agricultural area – so the need to cut both diesel and flaring would no doubt help protect the local area.

This was a task of many requirements and Pharos Energy needed an experienced partner with many decades of industry knowledge, including specific technical capability in dealing and treating Associated Petroleum Gas (APG) from production wells and repurposing it for use as a power generation fuel.
