IPR continues to demonstrate responsible growth and has commissioned a pioneering water disposal well in the Western Desert of Egyptand uses available APG to power oilfield operations. These initiatives reflect our commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable development practices across all our operations.
People-Centered Philosophy
