The Major Challenges Facing The Development of Downstream Gas
Market• The required investment to develop the
distribution infrastructure.
• Reform of gas pricing policies and the timely introduction of competition.
• The reduction in capital flows as a result of the Global Financial Crisis.
• Provide more incentives for private and foreign direct investment.
Investment Initiatives to Investors In Gas Projects
• Reformist Investment Climate, Making Egypt as the number-one destination for FDI in Africa as it accounted for 30%* of all foreign investment in Africa.
• The Corporate and Personal tax rates are very competitive.
• Macroeconomic Stability and Robust Growth, where Egypt’s GDP grew 7.1% in 2006/07 and accelerated to 7.5% in the first half of 2007/2008; Making Egypt as better than the average for the Middle East and North Africa region.
• A large, skill intensive workforce at competitive price.
• A large and diversified consumer market.
• Developed Energy Infrastructure, where Egypt boasts a broad, world-class infrastructure base could create a regional Energy Hub.
• Political Stability and Personal Security.

• Natural Gas Reserves: Proven Gas Reserves of 14,655 BCM representing 8% of world’s total proven Gas reserves in 2008.
• Africa Gas Production: 214.8 BCM in 2008, contributes for 7% of the world’s total gas production which implies net exports reached 96 BCM In 2008.
• LNG Capacity: Africa holds 54.3 (million tones per annum) or 30% of the world’s liquefaction capacity.
• Africa Gas Consumption: 115 BCM represents about 53% of its production.

Natural Gas Development (During 2006-2030)
More than 85% of Africa’s natural gas is produced in Algeria, Egypt, and Nigeria, which together account for 81 % of Africa’s proved natural gas reserves.
The region is expected to become oriented more toward exports by which grow from 55 % of production in 2006 to a bout 58% in 2030.

North Africa- India Natural Gas Trade 2008 (BCM)
North Africa gas exports to India accounted for 0.91 BCM in 2008 ranking it as the second gas exporter to India after Qatar (exports to India= 7.98 BCM in 2008).
Conclusion Proven gas reserves have been steadily increasing, moving Egypt
ahead towards export more gas by pipelines & LNG at the same time.
Gas infrastructure, consisting of gas transmission grid and gas processing facilities, supports the satisfaction of the ever increasing demand on gas in the local market and gas export projects.
The development of the Egyptian gas industry ranked Egypt in 2008/2009 as number 17 globally in terms of reserves, number 16 in terms of production and number 15 in terms of consumption.
Egypt is participating in world energy security through its LNG exports and through the Arab gas pipeline in the near future.
