Eni expands acreage offshore Egypt

As a result of the EGAS 2013 bid round, Italy’s Eni signed two concession agreements for the North Leil and Karawan blocks offshore Egypt. 

Eni  is the operator and holds 100% equity in  North Leil  and 50% equity in Karawan, where the company partners with BP.

The two blocks, which will be operated by Eni’s subsidiary IEOC, are located in the deepwater offshore of the Mediterranean, west of the Shorouk block, which Eni acquired last year. North Leil and Karawan blocks cover areas of 5,105 and 4,565 square kilometers respectively.

The signature of these two new concession agreements  follows that of Southwest Meleiha Block awarded recently.
