Libya: New discovery for Eni

Eni has made a new gas and condensate discovery in the Gamma prospect in the Tripoli-Sabratah Basin. The discovery in Contract Area D, 140km offshore from Tripoli, was made with the B1 16/3 well at a site 15km south-west of the Bouri field and 5km north of the Bahr Essalam field. The drilling of the Gamma prospect is part of Eni’s near field exploration strategy, targeting opportunities close to existing infrastructure, reducing the time to market and providing additional gas for the local market and for export, the company said.
