Thekah will now be joining the country's gas production map, according to a report presented on Thursday 29/01/2009 to Petroleum Minister Sameh Fahmi by Tharwa Board Chairman Engineer Atef Abdel-Sadeq.

The company cooperated with an Italian company in building two maritime platforms and 50-kilometer-long underwater lines in the area, and, thanks to the help offered by the Egyptian oil companies of Enppi and Petrojet and the offshore oil services company and the facilities extended by Petrobel, the gas field in Thekah was up and operational at a record time of 20 months.
