Libya: Eni Makes Second Offshore Gas Discovery this Year

Eni made a new discovery of gas and condensates offshore Libya, in the Bouri North exploration prospect in Area D, 140 kilometers from the coast and 20 kilometers north of the production field of Bouri, while Shell will reportedly start shale gas production from the Apollonia field in the Western Desert in May 2016.  

Earlier this month, the company announced a discovery of gas and condensates offshore Libya in the Bahr Essalam South exploration prospect in Area D.

The one announced on Tuesday is the second discovery in Libyan offshore Area D reported by the Italian company since the beginning of 2015 on Tuesday. Eni holds 100% working interest in the exploration phase.

‘During the production test, constrained by surface facilities, the well flowed 1,340  Boepd  with a “64/64‘ choke size. In production configuration, the well is estimated to deliver in excess of 3,000 Boepd’ reads a note released on Tuesday.
