Damietta Segas LNG Terminal is a gas export terminal in Damiette, Egypt. It is located 60 kilometres west of Port Said. The LNG plant was ordered in 2000 and the construction works started in September 2001. The plant came on-stream in December 2004 and the first cargo was load on 20 January 2005. On 28 March 2005. Eni, BP, and EGAS signed a memorandum of understanding of construction of the second train. On 19 June 2006, partners signed the framework agreement for the expansion of the capacity of the LNG plant to 10 million tonnes per year. It was planned to be supplied from the Satis gas discovery in the offshore Nile Delta. However, the plan was postponed due limited gas reserves and increased domestic demand in Egypt. 

The output capacity of the plant is 5 million tonnes of LNG per year. The initial capacity was designed to be 5.5 million tonnes of LNG per year. The complex includes the LNG liquefaction train, inlet gas reception area (metering and analysis), natural gas liquids removal and fractionation area, a docking jetty for tanker loading and transportation, LNG refrigerated storage and export facilities (tanks and booms), utilities and supporting infrastructure (power, water and roads), gas metering and treatment facilities (acid gas removal and dehydration), refrigerant condensate and LNG storage (two 150,000 m³ PC LNG storage tanks). The total investment costs of the LNG complex is around US$2 billion.
