Egypt

Egypt’s Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources oversees the development of the country’s oil, natural gas and mineral resources sectors. Its work spans exploration, production, refining, petrochemicals, transportation and distribution, supporting energy security and economic growth. The Ministry works to attract investment, strengthen international partnerships and maximise the value of Egypt’s natural resources. In mining, it promotes exploration opportunities, sector modernisation and the development of industries that add value to mineral resources, helping expand the sector’s contribution to the national economy. Its priorities include improving operational efficiency, developing skills, adopting advanced technologies and supporting digital transformation. Environmental protection, energy efficiency and emissions reduction are also central to its efforts to build a more sustainable sector. Through cooperation with government entities, private businesses and international organisations, the Ministry aims to meet domestic energy needs, encourage responsible resource development and strengthen Egypt’s position within regional and global energy and mineral resources markets.
