The Zohr field produced 12.2 bcm of natural gas in 2018, Russian energy giant Rosneft said on Thursday. The company, which holds a 30% stake in the Shorouk concession, reported that production in 2H2018 totaled 9.1 bcm, an almost three-fold increase from the 3.1 bcm produced in 1H2018. Field operator Eni expects output to continue its rapid rise in 2019, reaching 2.7 bcf/d by July as it adds new wells to production and brings the sixth gas processing facility online.
