LNG

April 22 (LNGJ) - Italy's Eni, involved in the LNG project in Mozambique and plants in Nigeria, Angola and Egypt, was awarded a key deepwater exploration block in the Egyptian Eastern Mediterranean in the latest bid round in Cairo. Egypt is increasing its exploration activities as domestic gas demand has cut the output of LNG for export at the Damietta and Idku LNG plants. Eni's Block 9, also known as Shorouk Offshore, covers an area of 3,765 square kilometers.
