Ten New Exploratory Wells Dug in Western Desert

The Ministry of Petroleum said 10 exploratory wells were dug in the Western Desert and they went online in a record time with a daily average output of 5,000 oil barrels.

The company's chairman, Ashraf Abdel Gawwad, reviewed the report with Petroleum Minister Tareq el Mulla.
