Eni (E) Makes Gas Discovery at Nargis-1 Well Offshore Egypt
Read MoreHide Full Article
Eni SPA (E - Free Report) made a natural gas discovery at the Nargis-1 exploration well in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea off Egypt’s coast.
The Nargis-1 well is part of Egypt’s Nargis Offshore Area concession, which covers about 445,000 acres. Eni holds a 45% interest in the concession.
The Nargis-1 well, which was drilled in 309 meters of water using the Stena Forth drillship, encountered 61 meters of Miocene and Oligocene gas-bearing sandstones. The discovery is intended to be developed by utilizing Eni’s existing facilities.
The well’s reserves were being evaluated and the concession partners are working to commence production as soon as possible. The discovery will uphold the company’s recent award of new blocks in Egypt.
Eni is seeking new gas sources as it aims to replace gas imports from Russia by 2025 after the global fallout from Russia’s aggressive invasion of Ukraine. As part of Eni’s successful drive to increase the supply of gas to Europe, the latest gas find has the potential to uncover further possibilities in the region.
Eni has been contributing to Egypt’s growth since 1954. The company is currently the country’s leading oil and gas producer, with an equity production of hydrocarbons of 350,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
Egypt has become a natural gas hot spot after the company’s discovery of the super-giant Zohr gas field in the country in 2015. Eni produces about 60% of the country’s gas production and operates the Damietta LNG export facility.
Eni aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The company is involved in initiatives meant for decarbonizing the Egypt energy sector, which includes the development of carbon capture and storage facilities, renewable energy plants, and agro feedstock for bio-refining.
Price Performance
