Founded in 2016, with its initial investment in Egypt in 2017 and first oil discovery in 2021, Apex has grown rapidly through exploration and development success and a disciplined approach to acquisitions to become Egypt’s 8th largest oil producer as of the first quarter of 2023. Led by an accomplished management team with vast experience building upstream oil and gas businesses of scale in Egypt and recognized by Egyptian authorities for its rapid production growth, Apex aims to become a leading independent explorer and producer in the Western Desert by further consolidating its acreage position and exploiting organic and inorganic growth opportunities. Egypt remains one of the leading oil and gas provinces in the Middle East / North Africa region, and the upstream industry enjoys broad governmental support.
