摘要

ITALY'S ENI HAS reported making a "significant discovery of gas and condensates" offshore Libya at the Bahr Essalam South exploration prospect in Area D, some 80 km from the coast of the country. The discovery was made through the Bl-16/4 well, drilled at a water depth of 150 metres, which encountered gas and condensates of Eocene age in the Metlaoui Formation. During a production test, the well produced 29mn cfd of natural gas and more than 600 bpd of condensate. Eni said that the well could deliver in excess of 50mn cfd of gas and 1,000 bpd in condensate in a production configuration.
