The Egyptian petroleum sector continues to report growth in production and infrastructure expansion. Following the 2025/2026 fiscal year results, which saw the General Petroleum Company (GPC) achieve 12 discoveries and Cooperation Petroleum report a 43% increase in net profits, recent ministerial reviews by Karim Badawi and Ahmed Rostom confirm that crude oil production is returning to an upward trend. Refining activities specifically showed a 22.4% increase during the third quarter of the 2025/2026 fiscal year. Minister Rostom noted that the successful payment of dues to foreign partners has restored confidence in the investment climate. To support these production trends, Egypt is significantly expanding its storage capabilities. Over the last 12 years, the nation has completed 84 storage warehouses with a total investment of approximately 42.7 billion Egyptian pounds, reaching a capacity of 5.2 million tons. Completed projects include butane storage in Sohag and Alexandria, the SUMED marine pier, and the Sinochem Sokhna liquid bulk terminal.

In October 2026, the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources and the Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade signed a cooperation protocol to further promote investment in the petroleum, gas, and mining sectors.

Minister Karim Badawi noted that settling outstanding dues to foreign partners has improved the investment climate, which is expected to encourage global companies to expand exploration, production, refining, and petrochemical manufacturing.
