ENI Sees Record Production in Western Desert

Tuesday, April 21, 2015

A production milestone was reached by ENI in Egypt’s Western Desert. The Italian firm saw its Western Desert assets reach a record level of production of 70,000 bpd of oil, which doubles its flows in just three years’ time.

The company said this result was achieved much in part due to the Melehia development lease. In Melehia, ENI’s production reached 54,000 bpd following the exploration successes obtained in the deep plays of Lower Cretaceous and Jurassic age, where the company is currently carrying out an intensive exploration, appraisal, workover, and production optimization activity.

The remaining part of the production in the area comes from other three development leases; the Ras Qattara, the Raml, and the West Razzak.
