DEA names new general manager for Egyptian subsidiary

February 01, 2016

HAMBURG/CAIRO -- DEA Deutsche Erdoel has named Dr. Thomas Radwitz as general manager of the company's Egyptian subsidiary.

Radwitz succeeds Dr. Hans-Hermann Ecke who has been general manager of DEA Egypt since March 2015. Ecke has served the company for 30 years in different managerial positions and will now retire.

“At our own-operated onshore gas development project, Disouq, in 2016 we continue to invest in infrastructure, like pipelines and the gas treatment plant, to add the already discovered gas fields to production,” Radwitz said. “The production of the West Nile Delta project is scheduled to start next year, and we are working full steam with our partner to get this important project on stream.”

DEA has been active in Egypt since 1974. During the last three decades, the company has produced over 640 MMbbl of crude as an operator in the Gulf of Suez.
