EGAS has cut its imports of natural gas imports to five monthly shipments (equivalent to 750 mcf/d) from eight (800 mcf/d) since beginning of 2017 on higher domestic production and lower consumption, according to a top EGAS official. Imports will rise again to 1.4 bcf/d starting May, in line with higher summer demand, the source said, adding that domestic production is due to rise 5 bcf/d by 2H17, from 4.45 bcf/d currently. Consumption currently stands at 5.1 bcf/d, of which 4.45 bcf/d is met from domestic production and 0.85 bcf/d from imports, he added. 3.0 bcf/d is currently being supplied to electric power stations and 1.3 bcf/d to households and factories with small to medium consumption.
