2016 – Tiger Offshore Moves into Egypt
In 2016, Tiger entered the Egypt oil and gas market in partnership with a local agent to provide rental equipment and waste management services for the Zohr gas field and surrounding region. Zohr was discovered in 2015 in Egypt’s Mediterranean Shorouk Block. It is the largest natural gas find in the Mediterranean Sea, holding approximately 30 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas. Discovered in 2015 by Italian company Eni, with production starting in 2017, this super-giant, deep-water field (1,500m depth) rapidly transformed Egypt’s energy sector by eliminating the need for imports and enabling LNG exports.
