LNG Terminals in Egypt
Egypt has 12 LNG terminals mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 26th-largest fleet of the 102 countries that hold any, and 0.9% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 8 operating and 2 under construction or proposed. Combined LNG capacity is about 60 Mtpa. The largest is Ain Sokhna FSRU (7.67 Mtpa).
The largest owner-operators are EGAS (6), Egyptian LNG (2) and SEGAS Services (2) — EGAS alone is named on 50% of them. Half of Egypt's LNG terminals in service predate 2015 (median commissioning year of the 6 with a known date), 2 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Damietta SEGAS LNG Terminal, dating from 2005. 2 are in the pipeline, led by Ain Sokhna FSRU (7.67 Mtpa), proposed. They account for 4% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Egypt.
