Oil boom town on Red Sea stays surprisingly quiet
Ras Shukheir Egypt sits 18 miles offshore as the Morgan oil field drives a booming industry with 370 workers and 13 platforms. Despite vast production from the Gulf of Suez, the town remains devoid of women, markets, or saloons, offering only beers, a movie, and long shifts for workers shuttling to Cairo for rest. Oil exports reach the United States and Europe, with a $165 million investment history and a $45 million purification project boosting yield and reducing costs.
