May 10 (LNGJ) - Italian energy company Eni said it started the third production unit of the Zohr natural gas production project in the East Mediterranean offshore Egypt that is leading to a halt in Egyptian LNG imports and a future restart of exports. Eni and its joint venture partner, Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company, said the third unit takes installed capacity to 1.2 billion cubic feet per day just one week after the second unit’s successful power-up. “The latest achievement reinforces the exceptional development path of Zohr, one of Eni’s seven record-breaking projects, which is playing a fundamental role in supporting Egypt’s independence from LNG imports,” said Eni.
