⭕️ Egypt’s gas imports from Israel fall, LNG imports surge to record levels
Egypt’s imports of Israeli gas fell by 12.3% in August 2025, dropping by 96 million cubic meters to 687 million cubic meters (782 mcf/d), compared to 783 million cubic meters in July.
This marks the second-lowest monthly level this year after June, when imports fell sharply due to the 12-day war between Iran and Israel.
Cumulatively, Egypt’s gas imports declined to 6.16 bcm between January and August 2025, down from 6.7 bcm over the same period in 2024. Further declines are expected in October due to a planned 12-day shutdown of Israel’s Tamar field for maintenance.
In parallel, Egypt has ramped up LNG imports to record levels, reaching 2.511 bcm in August, a 26.5% monthly increase. Total LNG imports rose to 5.71 million tons between January and September 2025, compared to 1.42 million tons a year earlier.
August recorded an all-time high of 1.27 million tons of LNG imports, followed by 1.04 million tons in September. The surge comes as Egypt expanded its regasification capacity to 2.77 bcf/d after adding a fourth floating unit in Damietta.
