British energy major BP has started natural gas production from a development within its West Nile Delta operations offshore northern Egypt, supplying additional fuel to the domestic market ahead of the baseline project timeline.

The offshore site, situated in the Mediterranean Sea near Alexandria and the Nile Delta, has added approximately 80 million cubic feet per day of natural gas into Egypt's domestic pipeline network.

Achieving first gas from the well marks an acceleration of roughly two years compared to the original operational schedule established for this development phase.

The early startup contributes new supply to the regional energy infrastructure as upstream operators continue executing development programs across Mediterranean offshore concessions.
