Reassess supplier mobilization and long‑lead exposure across EPC projects

A pre-feasibility study covering refinery configuration, product slate, preliminary capital requirements, logistics, and phased execution has reached an advanced stage. Once a host jurisdiction is confirmed, the project is expected to move into final site diligence and engineering design, with mechanical completion of Phase One targeted for the end of 2029, followed by commissioning and commercial operations

The MERA Oil consortium is engaged in discussions with feedstock providers within and beyond the GCC, with definitive arrangements expected to progress alongside the final host selection

A gas development connected to LNG markets Following the signature, in February 2025, of a Host Government Agreement, the main commercial and contractual agreements required for the development of the project have been signed. These agreements define the terms for the use of the offshore facilities of the Zohr field, the transit of gas through Egypt, liquefaction at Damietta LNG, and the sale of the gas as LNG

“By relying on existing gas processing capacities, this project is aligned with our strategy of prioritising low-cost and low-emission projects

The gas will be transported by subsea pipeline from Cypriot waters to Egypt, where it will be liquefied at the Damietta LNG terminal before being exported to Europe. The development of Cronos will partly rely on existing facilities in Egypt, generating significant synergies for a fast-track development, which will help accelerate its start-up and reduce the carbon intensity of the field's production
