About US
Egypt has a long history of oil and gas E&P activities that dates back to the late 1880's. Such activities,
up to date, have yielded a vast amount of E&P data representing one of the national resources of the
country. Some of this data is currently stored, at some risk, in different formats and media that needs to
be migrated and loaded to a state-of-the-art industry solution, therefore the need aroused to establish
Egypt Upstream Gateway (EUG) to efficiently handle the data on behalf of EGPC & in collaboration with
Schlumberger. Egypt upstream gateway is a National Data Repository that launched on Feb. 2021, and has
become an essential tool for E&P data preservation, managing the active data, and promote for the upstream
opportunities through international Bidrounds. We believe the futures lies in the interpretation of raw data
rather than the collection of it. The synergies include less cost relating to upload, storing and download
of data, as well as efficient access to public data, seamless distribution of shared data and well-balanced
data trades. EUG is designed to efficiently manage all the vast quantities of data generated from
exploration and production activities and make selected information easily available and accessible. Users
will also get data of known quality on agreed data formats. Having EUG in operation will enhance prospects
of petroleum exploration and facilitate the Bidding Rounds by improving the availability of quality data
throughout the year. With this action, Egypt will be joining the league of countries that have NDR centers
and can compete effectively in the hydrocarbon E&P sector. All data is stored according to the strictest
security regime in the National Data Repository (NDR) and includes both public and private data. Private
data can only be accessed by those who are entitled to it. Public data is accessible to all members. Data
safety, integrity and accessibility are at the core of the solution. Data types include Seismic data, Well
data and Production data. Companies frequently Trade entitlements to private data with other companies; part
of the EUG mandate is to ensure an efficient flow of data between companies by managing these entitlements.
