Exploration work at Eni’s Gamma prospect offshore Libya has led to a gas and condensates discovery in Contract Area D, Eni said in a news release April 6.
The discovery, made through the well B1 16/3, is located 15 km (9 miles) southwest of the Bouri Field and 5 km (3 miles) north of the Bahr Essalam Field.
Drilled to a total depth of 2,981 m (9,780 ft) in a water depth of 150 m (492 ft), the well hit gas and condensates in the Metlaoui Group of Eocene age, Eni said.
“The well has the capacity to deliver, in production configuration, in excess of 7,000 boe/d and represents a further discovery made by Eni in Libyan offshore Area D, following the discoveries made in 2015,” the company said.
Through its subsidiary Eni North Africa BV, Eni is operator of Contract Area D with a 100% working interest in the exploration phase.
