LNG

April 6 (LNGJ) - Italian energy company Eni has made a new discovery of natural gas and condensates in its Gamma prospect in Libyan waters of the Mediterranean about 140 kilometres offshore from the capital Tripoli. Libya is a former LNG producer whose liquefaction plant at Marsa El Brega has been badly damaged during the civil war and has not operated since 2011. The Eni offshore well was drilled in 150 metres of water depth and encountered gas and condensates. “The well has the capacity to deliver in excess of 7,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day and represents a further discovery made by Eni in Libyan offshore Area D, following discoveries made in 2015,” the Italian company said.
