Background

• Badr field was the oldest producing asset for Bapetco/Shell. The agreement between Shell/Bapetco and EGPC ended in 2012. In 2014 EGPC assigned WEPCO to take over the exploration and operation activities. Two expansion projects are associated with the Badr oil field, namely Badr El-Din 17 Expansion and Badr El-Din 2 Expansion. The expansion projects are currently in the feasibility stage.
