Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC)
EGPC is concerned with implementing all the plans and policies related to the petroleum activities of
Egypt, with the objective of securing and developing the petroleum wealth and its best exploitation.
The Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) operates as a state-owned concern overseeing
the petroleum industry in Egypt. Egypt's government, through EGPC, owns or partially owns a large
group of companies, including the Gulf of Suez Petroleum Co. (Gupco), Petrobel, General Petroleum
Co. (GPC), Badr el-Din Petroleum Company, Suez Oil Company, and El Zaafarana Oil Company. All
of Egypt's refineries are run by EGPC subsidiaries. Starting in the early 1990s, Egypt began reforming
its fiscal policy and launched incentives to promote foreign investment and exploration. The country is
privatizing many of its industry sectors but keeping tight reins over EGPC.
Although Egypt is not among the most important players on the international oil scene, oil is a vital
element of the Egyptian economy. Oil exports are a major source of scarce foreign currency,
accounting for 40 percent of export earnings and ten percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in the
late 1990s. The country currently operates as an oil exporter, but increases in demand and declining
oil production have raised concern that by 2010 Egypt will become a net importer of oil. This increase
in demand coupled with high international oil prices forced the country to report its first oil trade deficit
in nearly 25 years in 1999. As such, EGPC and its subsidiaries are focused on exploration activities
and growth in the natural gas sector.
