CAIRO, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Shell Egypt, EGAS and Petronas have awarded a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract to a Bechtel-led coalition that includes Enppi and Petrojet to study a proposed unified power system between the onshore gas processing plant of the West Delta Deep Marine (WDDM) gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Egypt, and the Egyptian LNG export terminal (ELNG) in Idku, east of Alexandria.

Key Points: 
  • The FEED, for the Idku Energy Hub project, will explore the benefits of a One Power Hub concept, integrating the electrical power systems at the WDDM and ELNG, as opposed to having two separate systems.
  • "This project is a demonstration of our commitment to powering progress by providing more and cleaner energy," Eng.
  • "As partners in Egypt's journey to become a regional energy hub we are also mobilizing our efforts and expertise to support the country's energy efficiency ambitions.
  • "This project is an excellent example of private and public sector partnership to support Egypt's decarbonization strategy," Paul Marsden, President of Bechtel Energy said.
