By GlobalDataThe data that was collected during the test confirmed the deliverability of the Zohr reservoir, in line with the Zohr 2 well test, producing more than 50mmscfd limited only by the constraints of the drilling ship production facilities.
The well is estimated to deliver up to 250mmscf a day in the production configuration.
The company plans to continue the campaign on Zohr this year with the drilling of the sixth well, which is set to ensure the accelerated start up production rate of 1bcf a day.
First gas from the field is expected by the end of next year.
Eni owns a 100% stake in the Shorouk Block through its subsidiary IEOC Production.
The activities are operated by Petrobel on behalf of the Petroshorouk company, which is equally owned by IEOC and Egyptian Natural Gas (EGAS).
