The exploration deals come as Egypt aims to boost domestic production to meet increasing local demand. Egypt has signed four agreements with international firms worth more than $340 million to explore gas and oil in the Mediterranean and Nile Delta, the Petroleum Ministry said in a statement on Saturday. They include a $120 million deal with Shell and a $100 million deal with Italy's Eni, the statement said. Egypt seeks to boost gas production after increasingly turning to imports to meet domestic demand. Egypt, once a regional exporter, is having to import some of its gas as its own production has fallen due to aging fields and lack of investment in new fields.
