Egypt’s petroleum sector is undergoing a significant digital transformation, and a key project is currently underway to monitor gas trading using the Skada system.
Engineer Salah Abdulkarim, the Executive President of the Egyptian General Petroleum Authority, recently visited the Petrogas headquarters in Cairo to oversee the project’s implementation.
The project aims to tighten control over gas trading in the local market, and it’s part of the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources’ vision to digitise the petroleum sector.
Accountant Muhammad Ibrahim Farhat, the President of Petrogas Company, explained that the project involves connecting fuel chambers to the Petroleum Authority to capture and register quantities.
This is just the first stage, with the second phase set to begin soon and finish by May 31, 2025.
The project also includes other initiatives such as monitoring gas balances inside tanks, managing tanker cars for gas transportation and data management for gas cylinder filling equipment.
These efforts would continue until 2028 and are expected to significantly improve the efficiency and transparency of the gas trading process.
Engineer Abdulkarim emphasised the importance of safety and professional health at all company sites, thanking the company’s leaders and employees for their hard work.
He urged them to continue putting effort into digitisation and efficiency improvement projects.
