The total gas in place in the Zohr gas field is around 850 billion cubic metres (30 trillion cubic feet), in 2019 Zohr field gas production reaches more than 2.7 bcfd
The discovery of a carbonate build up so distal from the modern Nile Delta suggests a new model for the paleogeographic evolution of the Levantine Basin may be required. It had been assumed that with the exception of the brief Messinian salinity crisis, north of the Nile Delta deep water conditions had prevailed across the basin during the Neogene. However, the Zohr carbonate build up requiring shallow water conditions during the Early to Middle Miocene, indicates the presence of a basin north of the Nile Delta.
This discovery was found to hold a 628 m gross gas column, 430 m net pay and gas in place preliminary estimated at 30 TCF. Recoverable reserves in this one discovery are therefore around 25% of all the exploration successes in the prolific Levantine basin over the previous 40 years.
