LUKOIL joined the WEEM project.
LUKOIL began operations in Egypt by joining the Meleiha project. Egypt became the first country outside the former Soviet Union where the Company began its hydrocarbon fields development operations.
In 2015, LUKOIL sponsored the Center for Egyptological Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) in Egypt. Thanks to this support, archaeologists were able to carry out underwater explorations in Alexandria. During this expedition they conducted underwater explorations at the place where the French ship Le Patriote, which transported equipment for the scientific squad of Napoleon Bonaparte’s army, suffered wreckage in 1798. They also mapped the ancient wave-breaker at the port of Evnost, Egypt’s main commercial port of the Greco-Roman times. Archaeological data obtained during these explorations will through more light on many different aspects of navigation in antiquity.
