Eni has made a new discovery of gas and condensates offshore Libya in the Bouri North exploration prospect in Area D, the company said in a news release.
The area is 140 km from the coast and 20 km north of the production field of Bouri.
The discovery was made through the A1-1/1 well, drilled at a water depth of 125 m, which encountered gas and condensates in the Metlaoui Group of Eocene age, Eni said. During the production test, constrained by surface facilities, the well flowed 1,340 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d). In production configuration, the well is estimated to deliver in excess of 3,000 boe/d.
The well represents the second discovery made by Eni in Libyan offshore Area D since the beginning of 2015.
Eni, through its subsidiary Eni North Africa BV, is operator of Contract Area D with 100% working interest in the exploration phase, the release said.
