Libya: Offshore find for Eni

Despite the problems plaguing Libya’s hydrocarbons sector, Eni has made its second discovery of the year in offshore Area D. The gas and condensate discovery was made in the Bouri North exploration prospect, 140km from the coast and 20km north of the producing Bouri field. The A1-1/1 well was drilled at a water depth of 125 metres and encountered gas and condensates in the Metlaoui group of Eocene age. During a production test constrained by surface facilities, the well flowed 1,340 boe/d with a 64/64 choke size.
