By GlobalDataThe NEA/NI concession subsea tieback project involves the development of satellite gas fields in the NEA and NI concessions located near Abu Qir gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea, offshore Western Nile Delta.
The NEA concession involves two discovered and appraised gas fields, including Yazzi and Python, whereas the NI concession comprises four discovered gas fields, including one of which is readied for development.
The integrated NEA/NI concessions are planned to commence production in the second half of next year.
Energean Egypt country manager Nicolas Katcharov said: “The project initiates a significant development with an innovative integrated approach, providing substantial benefits to the long-term production profile in the country whilst bringing additional cost efficiencies and strategic benefits.
“It is also opening a new perspective for the near-field exploration in the Egypt Nile Delta offshore.”
Energean made the final investment decision on the NEA/NI concession subsea tieback project last month.
