INTRODUCTION
RWE Dea Egypt has discovered seven natural gas reserves in the Disouq Concession within the onshore
Nile Delta, starting in 2008, as shown on the concession map below. Further exploration in the
concession is ongoing. RWE Dea Egypt is the operator of the Concession with EGAS as a partner.

The selected development comprises a central gas treatment site near NSG-1x, where the gas is
collected, treated by means of Low Temperature Separation utilizing the Joule Thomson effect to
achieve gas quality, and compressed for export. Treated gas is transferred via a 16 pipeline directly
into the GASCO NTS pipeline.
The well fluids are gathered and fed to a common inlet separator at the central plant. All gases and
liquids will be separated and processed on the central treatment site into sales gas, stabilized
condensate, and free production water.
Treatment of gas is carried out in two trains, while treatment of condensate is in a single train. Three
trains of sales gas compression are installed. Fuel gas for the gas engine drives is taken from the suction
of the sales gas compressors.
