Sustainability
Environmental Protection
Protecting seas, coastlines, water and biodiversity wherever we explore, produce and transport gas.
Environment
Leaving the environment as we found it — or better
Our operations span the deep waters of the Mediterranean, the Nile Delta, the Western Desert and the Gulf of Suez. Each is a distinct ecosystem that deserves care.
Our environmental programme focuses on protecting Mediterranean and Red Sea marine ecosystems around our offshore operations, managing produced water and waste responsibly, and restoring land and habitats affected by our facilities and pipeline corridors.
Every project begins with an environmental baseline and impact assessment, and monitoring continues throughout its life.
Protection in practice
Marine
Caring for the Mediterranean and the Red Sea
Offshore operators carry out seabed and water-quality surveys before and during development, apply strict controls on discharges from platforms and vessels, and maintain oil-spill response plans and equipment tested through regular exercises.
Water
Every drop accounted for
Produced water is separated, treated and re-injected into reservoirs, while plants reduce freshwater use through recycling — an essential discipline in a water-scarce country.
Waste
From waste to resource
Drilling cuttings, chemicals and industrial waste are segregated, tracked and treated by licensed contractors; scrap metal and other materials are recovered and recycled wherever possible.
The environments we share
From coastal wetlands to open sea and desert, our footprint touches many of Egypt's landscapes.
People and communities
Our social responsibility goes hand in hand with environmental care.
