ENI’s Western Desert Production Up

Tuesday, November 3, 2015

ENI reported that its production in Egypt’s Western Desert reached a new production of 73,000 bpd, doubling in just three years the level of production in the area. The production increase was allowed by the production growth in the Melehia West Deep field on the Melehia license.

The new field, which contains oil and gas in the deep geological layers of the Lower Cretaceous and Jurassic was discovered in January 2015 and following an appraisal campaign it has already achieved a production level of 12,000 bpd.

ENI expects, with the next activities of the Melehia West Deep field, to bring production up to over 15,000 bpd, also thanks to the start-up of the first treatment plant and the gas export of Melehia’s license by end of November.
