Harbour Energy confirms the successful appraisal of EZZ-2 discovery in Egypt

 Harbour Energy through its joint venture company, DISOUCO, has advanced its near-field ILX exploration and appraisal activities within the Disouq Concession with the successful appraisal of the EZZ-2 well. This follows the EZZ-1 discovery made in October 2025, which was brought on-stream in January 2026, just three months after discovery

EZZ-1 was drilled to a total depth of 2,964 metres, while EZZ-2 reached a depth of 3,200 metres. Both wells encountered high-quality, liquid rich gas-bearing reservoirs within the Messinian Abu Madi Formation, with net thicknesses between 25 -35 metres, confirming the commercial potential of the discovery. The EZZ-1 well was tested at a rate of 15 million standard cubic feet of gas per day with approximately 900 barrels of condensate per day, demonstrating good productivity

Leveraging existing infrastructure within the Disouq Development Lease Area, EZZ-1 was efficiently brought on stream early 2026. This success highlights Harbour Energy’s proven near-field appraisal strategy in Egypt, focused on accelerating production through infrastructure-led developments and enabling rapid tie-in to Egypt’s national natural gas grid

The appraisal drilling of EZZ-1 and EZZ-2 was completed on time and within budget and it validates the expected gas in-place of 35 bcf and 2 mmstb associated condensate, whilst further derisking the upside as opportunity for the condensate rich area in the Disouq Concession

Sameh Sabry, Managing Director BU MENA, said: “This discovery is a reflection of our robust strategic planning and value driven delivery approach and is a great result for Harbour Energy in Egypt

Olaf Reetz, DISOUCO JV Managing Director, added: “Harbour Energy has always been an active partner in the DISOUCO project, and we are pleased to strengthen our position with this significant discovery based on our infrastructure led exploration approach. The EZZ-1 well has been brought safely on stream just three months after discovery
