BP 已完成位于北亚历山大海上特许权区的 El Fayoum-5 天然气发现井的钻探作业，这是其在西尼罗河三角洲四槽钻探活动中的最后一口井。

El Fayoum-5 采用 Valaris DS-12 钻机进行钻探，于 2025 年 2 月 14 日开钻，遇到四个潜在的墨西拿气藏，总砂层厚度为 50 米，测量深度约为 2,900 米。

目前正计划将这一发现与 BP 运营的西尼罗河三角洲 (WND) 天然气开发项目联系起来。这是 BP 近几个月来连续第二次发现天然气，此前在 North King Mariout 海上特许权区成功发现 El King-2 井。

WND 天然气开发项目由位于埃及近海的一系列凝析气田组成，位于北亚历山大和西地中海深水特许区内。Raven 气田是 WND 项目的最后阶段，自 2021 年初开始投产。其初始阶段包括开发八口海底油井，距离海岸最远 65 公里，水深从 550 米到 700 米不等。项目运营商 BP 持有 82.75% 的股份，而 Harbour Energy 持有剩余的 17.25%。

BP has completed drilling operations at the El Fayoum-5 gas discovery well in the North Alexandria Offshore Concession, marking the final well in its four-slot drilling campaign in the West Nile Delta.

Drilled using the Valaris DS-12 rig, El Fayoum-5 was spudded on 14 February 2025, and encountered four prospective Messinian gas reservoirs, with a total sand thickness of 50 m at a measured depth of approximately 2,900 m.

Plans are underway to tie back the discovery to BP’s operated West Nile Delta (WND) Gas Development. This marks BP’s second consecutive gas discovery in recent months, following the successful El King-2 well in the North King Mariout Offshore Concession.

The WND Gas Development consists of a series of gas condensate fields located offshore Egypt, within the North Alexandria and West Mediterranean Deepwater concessions. The Raven field, the final phase of the WND project, has been in production since early 2021. Its initial phase included the development of eight subsea wells, located up to 65 km offshore, at water depths ranging from 550 to 700 m. BP, the project operator, holds an 82.75% stake, while Harbour Energy owns the remaining 17.25%.
