Eni reports 2 trillion cubic feet gas find in Egypt
Italian energy major Eni SpA reported a significant gas and condensate discovery in Egypt’s Temsah concession, with a potential of approximately 2 trillion cubic feet that could boost future production.
The discovery at the Denise W 1 exploration prospect is a positive development for Eni's stock, as it significantly boosts its proven reserves and future production outlook.
The find is located in the Temsah concession in the Egyptian offshore of the Nile Delta. The well encountered a thick gas-bearing sandstone section of Miocene age with excellent petrophysical properties.
This discovery could strengthen Egypt's position as a regional energy hub and potentially impact regional natural gas prices in the long term, reinforcing the country's role in the Eastern Mediterranean's energy landscape.
Regional Impact
The discovery adds to a series of successful exploration efforts in the Eastern Mediterranean, a region that has grown in strategic importance for global energy markets. It follows other major finds in the area by companies like Chevron and Shell, turning the region into a significant gas-producing hub. For Egypt, the find provides a much-needed boost to its domestic energy supply and export capacity, potentially increasing its LNG shipments to Europe.
