Egypt has accumulated a significant volume of oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) data dating back to the late 1880s. This extensive collection of data sets is an invaluable national resource. Yet, the difficulty lies in efficiently handling and leveraging this data to encourage investment in the oil and gas industry and facilitate companies' access to it without requiring physical interaction with the data. This article assesses Egypt’s approach to digitalizing its E&P data by establishing the National Data Repository (NDR) and Egypt Upstream Gateway (EUG) portal. The primary objective is to bolster oil and gas industry investment by consolidating the extensive data repository into a single platform. The methodology involves analyzing the NDR and EUG portal implementation to achieve the objectives above. This includes examining the strategic role of the NDR in promoting license rounds and attracting international investment. The analysis encompasses reviewing the subsurface and bid round data, including a comprehensive post-stack merge of legacy seismic surveys in the Eastern Mediterranean basin. The results indicate that establishing the NDR and EUG portal has significantly improved the management and accessibility of Egypt’s E&P data. The NDR is a strategic tool in promoting license rounds and attracting international investment. At the same time, the EUG portal facilitates swift access to subsurface and bid round data, expediting the decision-making process for companies. The availability of rich subsurface datasets, including merged legacy seismic surveys, further enhances the platform's utility in promoting investment and maximizing hydrocarbon recovery in Egypt’s exploration blocks. |
