A focus shift to offshore is leading Shell to seek a buyer for its Western Desert rights (Badr El Din) held by Bapetco (EGPC + Shell JV) and accounting for ab. 110,000 b/d. Any sale would hang onto negotiations, required approvals and of course getting the appropriate buyer.   Shell is moving its attention to the West Delta Deep Marine (WDDM) block where explo + devt drilling is planned. Rosetta and new blocks 4 + 6 are also up for explo drilling.
