The idea of establishing Misr Petroleum Research Centre started in 1965 in April 1976 Ghamra Research Center was built in Cairo. The main aim was serve the petroleum industry in Egypt through the evaluation and development of various petroleum products besides performing laboratory and field researches to cope with a non-stop world development. The research center was established by technical staff and equipped with the most recent apparatus as well as test engines necessary for its research and routine works.
