Eni plans to drill two additional gas wells in Egypt’s Zohr field next year, allocating an estimated $360 million for the project, according to a government source cited by Asharq Business.
At present, the Italian energy giant is drilling slant wells 9 and 13 using the Zohr-Saipem 10000 rig, with investments amounting to $160 million.
The source stated that these drilling operations are expected to increase Zohr’s natural gas output by 149 million cubic feet per day by the end of May.
Currently, the Zohr field delivers around 1.5 billion cubic feet of gas per day—less than half its 2019 peak output of 3.2 billion cubic feet per day.
