ENI started up its third production unit (T-2) on the Zohr field offshore Egypt in the Mediterranean Sea. The T-2 start up increased the installed capacity to 1.2 Bcf/d. Zohr is now producing 1.1 Bcf/d in ramp-up, equivalent to approximately 200,000 boepd, of which 75,000 boepd are net to ENI at current working interest. This outstanding result has been achieved only a few months after the field’s start-up in December 2017.
The third unit, following just one week after the second unit’s successful power-up, confirms the program pursued by ENI, its co-venturers and EGAS to pursue a production level of 2 Bcf/d by end 2018, followed by a plateau of 2.7 Bcf/d in 2019.
