Eni makes major gas discovery in UAE

Sinochem News reported on August 1 that Italian oil giant Eni drilled its first exploration well in Block 2 offshore near Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and discovered 1 trillion- 1.

Eni said the discovery was the first to be made in a shallow area of ​​the same well, with a combined total of 2.

A consortium led by Eni and PTT Public Company for Exploration and Production (PTTEP) was awarded the exploration rights for Block 2 offshore in 2019 as part of ADNOC's first block bid

Yaser Saeed Almazrouei, ADNOC Upstream Executive Director, said: "This discovery further highlights how ADNOC's accelerated exploration and development program is identifying untapped oil and gas resources that can create long-term value for the UAE

ADNOC said both discoveries leverage ADNOC's ongoing 3D large-scale seismic exploration equipment, supporting the important role of this exploration in helping to identify new oil and gas resources using state-of-the-art technology
