United Gas Derivatives Company was established to receive the gas produced from North Port Said, Ras El Bar and Temsah concessions through the gas treatment plants of El Gamil and Ha'py in order to extract the NGL and produce propane, LPG and Condensates. Originally, The liquid propane is stored in the refrigerated tank at Damietta to be exported to the international market through marine vessels. While the LPG and the condensate are pumped to the relevant pipeline network owned by EGPC for local consumption. Currently, The liquid propane is transferred to the Egyptian Propylene & PolyPropylene Company (EPPC) for petrochemical industry to maximize foreign currencies returns and added value. EPP is producing Propylene and the UGDC existing Damietta facilities are modified to be utilized to import Propane "The project is under commissioning" in addition to export the excess commercial propane to international market through marine vessels. The construction of Port Said NGL Plant in addition to Damietta Shipping & Exporting Facilities is considered as a strong example of the Egyptian Petroleum Sector’s ability to absorb and apply modern technology in the gas industry with all the related international codes and standards throughout all project phases. Adding value to the natural gas value chain by extracting natural gas liquids through the processing of 1300 MMSCFD feed gas received from the Mediterranean concessions of BP and ENI treated in HA’PY and El-Gamil facilities.
