North Safa is an active conventional oil field situated in shallow waters off the coast of Egypt. Specifically located in the Northeast Ramadan Concession block, the field operates at a water depth of 217 feet. Anticipated to reach peak production by 2026, North Safa’s oil extraction will persist until it reaches its economic limit in 2041, as per economic projections.

The expansion and modernization initiative aims to significantly increase the refinery’s petrol production capacity, quadrupling it to 450 thousand tonnes per year. As a part of this project, the Combined Cycle has been revamped to utilize hydrogen generated by the new Platforming unit. Additionally, energy production has been optimized by recycling gas, resulting in a notable reduction in polluting emissions.

The project aims to replace the temporary Let Down Station, installed in 2015, with permanent pressure reduction facilities at the expansion area of GS. This upgrade is intended to transport gas to the local market and supply the existing Sirte Oil Company (SOC) coastal gas pipeline with an increased capacity of 19.5 MSm3/d of sales gas at a higher pressure of 51 Bar.
