In November 2018, partner Dana Gas began a farm-out campaign, seeking to dilute its 50% equity in the West El Manzala development lease (DL) ahead of drilling a NFW in 2019. The DL is one of nine that makes up the West El Manzala PSC, located in the onshore Nile Delta Basin. The company is seeking a partner ahead of drilling of the Lina 1 NFW, which will target the Lower Miocene Qantara Formation, in a SSW-NNE trending channel sandstone feature, lying in the NW of the DL. The company is envisaging wet gas, with potential in-place resource of 500 Bcfg. Gross well costs have been estimated at ~US$ 50 million. The DL lies immediately north of the Marzouk Field and the 2016 West Manzala 3 gas & condensate discovery. The West El Manzala concession is operated by El Wastani Petroleum (Wasco), a 50/50 JV between Dana Gas & EGAS.
