Wednesday, August 2, 2017

 ENI’s CEO Claudio Descalzirecentlymet  with the chairman of Libya’s NOC, Mustafa Sanalla. The discussions between the two mainly focused on ENI’s ongoing activities in the country and possible future developments, particularly in the gas sector. The Italian firm is Libya’s main gas producer, supplying 20 Mmcm/d to the country’s power plants.

The two chief executives also discussed the second phase of development of the Bahr Essalam field, one of the largest reservoirs offshore Libya and an important source of gas supply for the Greens tream pipeline into Europe.

The second phase of the Bahr Essalam field would involve the completion of 10 offshore wells, nine of which were already drilled in 2016 and for which ENI was awarded the contract for the supply and installation of structures. It would also call for a tieback to the Sabratha platform where the production would be treated for separation and dehydration. First gas is set for 2018.
