Also, El Molla and his Nigerian counterpart Chief Timipre Marlin Sylva have witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the Egyptian firm Sidi Kerir Petrochemicals Company (SIDPEC) and Rangas Nigeria. The agreement that was signed by SIDPEC Chairman and CEO Mohamed Ibrahim and the CEO of Rangas Nigeria will involve the construction of a complex for petrochemical production in Nigeria in light of SIDPEC’s well-known expertise in this regard. SIDPEC will contribute to providing technical support throughout various stages of the project.

The third MoU that was signed between the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources and Apache Corporation to boost future cooperation to develop Khalda Petroleum Company and Qarun Petroleum Company.
