Fitch Solutions projects Egypt's natural gas production will rise 8% in 2026 to 46.6 billion cubic meters, up from 43.1 bcm in 2025. This recovery is attributed to resumed drilling at the Zohr field and the start of the Raven project’s second phase. The firm anticipates a long-term production growth rate of 2.7% annually from 2026 to 2035, supported by new exploration agreements and the Egyptian government's efforts to settle $1.2 billion in outstanding payments by June 2026.
