Estimates of oil and natural gas (NG) reserves in Egypt

  • Ibrahim, Said M.A.

Abstract

Egypt depends mainly on oil and NG for 92% of total commercial energy needs. Reserve estimates are largely based on speculations. We give logistics functions for oil and NG production and consumption rates and reserves. An energy-flow diagram has been constructed for Egypt. Sectorial energy consumptions are also given. Estimates of reserves from logistic curves show that crude oil would last for about 24yr and that NG will last for 150yr with present production rates.
