In September 2019, Badr El-Din Petroleum Co (BAPETCO) found oil in the Badr El Din 03 C6-9 outpost well at the Badr El Din 03 field, Badr El Din 03 (Dev) block, Abu Gharadiq Basin. The well presumably tested the Cenomanian G Member of the Abu Roash Formation.  The well was spudded on 8 August 2019 and drilled to a TD of 3,671 m.  The Badr El Din 03 field was discovered in 1983 after the new field wildcat Badr El Din 03 01 encountered oil in the Kharita Member of the Burg El Arab Formation.  BAPETCO is a JV between Shell and EGPC (50%-50% working interest), operating the Badr El Din 03 (Dev) block since May 1986.
