The $128Million project is to bolster transportation capacity between domestic production zones, refineries, and export terminals across the country. This enhancement of the national hydrocarbon grid is expected to come online by early 2027.
The first of pipelines, a $ 21Million, 52kilometre pipeline from Khorshid (east of Alexandria) to Damanhur in the middle of the country’s oil rich western Nile Delta, will be commissioned later this month, August 2026.
In November 2026, the $ 52Million, 135 kilometre pipeline connecting the Midor refinery in Alexandria to the Al Hamra petroleum port in El Alamein on the Mediterranean Sea coast in north-western Egypt, is expected to be commissioned in November 2026. This project bridges a two-way loop that allows Egypt to import crude, refine it domestically at Midor, and pump the higher-value finished products back to Al Hamra for re-export.
The new pipeline system also includes a 75 kilometre long, $ 13Million Phase one of the Tebbin-Assiut line, expected to be delivered by December 2026 A $31Million, 16 kilometre line serving the Assiut Oil Refining Company, also to be commissioned in December 2026.
Two smaller lines around Cairo earmarked for transporting heavily fuel oil (locally known as mazut): a $ 6Million, 20 kilometre line from Mostorod to west Shubra, and a $4.2Million, 19 kilometre route realignment between Mostorod and Tebbin are both expected to be commissioned in early 2027.
