Damietta LNG
Egypt's LNG liquefaction plant at Damietta, operated by SEGAS (Eni/EGAS/EGPC), with one ~5 mtpa train that restarted in 2021 after an eight-year shutdown. It is the designated liquefaction point for Cyprus's Cronos gas: under the October 2025 tolling agreement, Cronos gas will be piped to Egypt's Zohr facilities and liquefied at Damietta (~$1/MMBtu tolling) for export to Europe from 2028, making it the first plant to turn Cypriot gas into LNG.
