The Zohr gas field is an offshore natural gas field located in the Egyptian sector of the Mediterranean Sea. The field is located in the Shorouk concession, a concession with an area of 3,765 square kilometres (1,454 sq mi) which was won by Eni in 2013.[1] The field is estimated to lie in an area of 100 square kilometres (39 sq mi) and is located at a depth of 1,450 metres (4,760 ft). The field was discovered in 2015 by the Italian energy company Eni.[2] The total gas in place in the Zohr gas field is around 850 billion cubic metres (30 trillion cubic feet).[3][4] If confirmed, Zohr will almost double Egypt's gas reserves.[5]
