data-end=\"2845\">Mohamed Saad El-Din, Vice President of Egypt\u2019s Petroleum Chamber, emphasized that Egypt can still maneuver in global markets due to falling fuel prices and full European gas reserves. However, any price change would depend on the original contract terms and Egypt\u2019s ability to finance purchases in USD.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2847\" data-end=\"3001\">He warned that a weaker Egyptian pound against the dollar would negate the benefits of lower global prices, increasing domestic costs and subsidy burdens.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3003\" data-end=\"3321\">The World Bank forecasts a 17% drop in global energy prices this year and an additional 6% by 2026, with Brent crude stabilizing at $64 per barrel in 2025. Spot LNG cargoes in May ranged between $11.30 and $13.20 per million BTU, with prices expected to drop due to lower demand in Asia and increasing U.S. production.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3323\" data-end=\"3587\">A technical analysis by petroleum economist Mohamed Fouad revealed Egypt aims to raise $7 billion to buy 155\u2013160 LNG shipments in 2025 on deferred payment terms, with contracts involving Shell, TotalEnergies, and others at prices not exceeding $14 per million BTU.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3589\" data-end=\"3859\">Since April 2024, due to plummeting domestic gas production, Egypt has depended increasingly on Israeli gas. Imports rose from 981 million to 1.15 billion cubic feet per day by January 2025 and are expected to increase by up to 58% in the peak months of July and August.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3861\" data-end=\"4126\">However, the Ministry of Petroleum remains concerned about a repeat of the supply suspension that occurred after Israel\u2019s October 2023 assault on Gaza, which halted operations at the Tamar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2024\/02\/19\/egypt-israel-gas-deal-amid-gaza-war\/\">gas<\/a> field, slashing supply from 1.1 billion to 850 million cubic feet daily.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4128\" data-end=\"4427\">The original agreement between Egypt\u2019s Dolphinus and Israel\u2019s Delek and Noble Energy in 2018 outlined exports of 64 billion cubic meters over 10 years worth $15 billion.
