QatarEnergy has signed a MoU with Egypt’s Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources to expand bilateral energy ties amid rising global demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG).

The deal, with a particular focus on supplying liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Qatar to Egypt, was formalized in a ceremony at QatarEnergy’s Doha headquarters, with Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, Minister of State for Energy Affairs and President and CEO of QatarEnergy, and Karim Badawi, Egypt’s Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, in attendance.

At the signing, Minister Al-Kaabi said: “We are pleased to further enhance our cooperation with the Arab Republic of Egypt. This agreement builds on our recent successful cooperation with Egypt particularly with respect to the supply of LNG from QatarEnergy’s portfolio.”

He added: “This MoU further strengthens our bilateral relationship as we work jointly towards additional supplies of long-term LNG from QatarEnergy to meet Egypt’s growing demand for energy to fuel its robust economic and industrial growth.

"We look forward to collaborating with the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources and with all our partners in Egypt to further strengthen our cooperation and to support Egypt with its future LNG requirements.”

The MoU paves the way for continued cooperation in the energy sector, including the long-term delivery of LNG from QatarEnergy to Egypt, where QatarEnergy and the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) have reached agreement for the supply of up to 24 LNG cargoes for the summer of 2026.

QatarEnergy and EGAS have also agreed to initiate discussions on additional and long-term supplies of LNG from QatarEnergy to Egypt.
