Egypt to float tender for gas imports next month

  • Egypt: Sunday, December 23 - 2012 at 02:08

Egyptian oil minister Osama Kamal has said the cabinet plans to issue a tender to import gas in three to four weeks, and the shipments could start in the summer to help meet growing demand for the fuel, Reuters has reported. Egypt, itself a gas producer and exporter, said in October it had agreed to import gas from Algeria and was in talks with Qatar for a similar deal. "With regard to our government needs, whether for the electricity sector or for some government-owned factories, there will be a tender that we will launch," Kamal said.
