🔍 Significant Oil and Gas Discovery Offshore West Africa by Eni 🌍 In a landmark meeting between the President of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, Alassane Ouattara, and Eni's CEO, Claudio Descalzi, discussions unfolded about Eni's latest triumph in the country's energy sector. The highlight was the unveiling of the exploration well Murene 1X's successful outcomes in block CI-205, marking the Calao discovery as a milestone achievement for both Eni and Côte d’Ivoire. 🛢️ Situated approximately 45 km offshore, the Murene 1X well, drilled to a depth of 5,000 m in water depths nearing 2,200 m, unveiled light oil, gas, and condensates across various intervals of Cenomanian age, showcasing good to excellent permeability values. This exploration endeavor hints at potential resources estimated between 1 and 1.5 billion barrels of oil equivalent (Bboe), presenting a significant boost to the region's energy resources. 🤝 Eni, leading the block in partnership with Petroci Holding, is now focusing on appraisal and development strategies for this considerable find, ensuring alignment with Côte d’Ivoire's domestic energy requirements. This collaboration underscores Eni's commitment to supporting the country's energy independence and sustainability goals. 🌐 Since its entrance into Côte d’Ivoire in 2015, Eni has expanded its footprint, holding interests in six deep-water blocks (CI-101, CI-401, CI-501, CI-801, and CI-802) in collaboration with Petroci Holding. The company has notably begun hydrocarbon production from the Baleine field since August 2023, contributing approximately 22,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd) to its equity production, reinforcing its position as a key player in the West African energy landscape. 💡 This discovery not only signifies a leap forward in Côte d’Ivoire's energy sector but also marks a pivotal moment for Eni as it continues to leverage its expertise and innovative exploration strategies to unlock new energy potentials, fostering growth and development in the regions it operates. #OilAndGas #EnergySector #WestAfrica #Eni #CotedIvoire #Innovation #Sustainability

Mubadala Energy has announced a significant #gas #discovery from the Layaran-1 #exploration well, drilled in South Andaman, offshore North Sumatra, #Indonesia. Significantly, the discovery solidifies the basin's position as one of Asia Pacific's most promising emerging deep-water hotspots, according to Wood Mackenzie. The discovery, is one of the largest globally this year, with potential for over 6 tcf of gas-in-place marks a major development for the Southeast #Asia energy landscape. "The success of this endeavour will test the efforts made by Indonesia's authorities to streamline processes and create a more favourable investment environment," says Dr Munish Kumar, PhD, Senior Analyst for Upstream at Wood Mackenzie, . "The upcoming installation of a new Indonesian administration in late 2024 adds an element of uncertainty, but the discovery of gas and condensate at the Layaran-1 exploration well is an exciting development, placing Indonesia ahead of Guyana, Namibia, and Malaysia in terms of discovered resources in 2023." Commenting on the discovery at Layaran-1, Andrew Harwood, Director of Corporate and Upstream Research at Wood Mackenzie, says that the resource numbers are globally significant, but the road to commerciality remains difficult. https://lnkd.in/gFH28WFC

Oil giants BP and Eni find way into Namibia’s prolific Orange basin Global oil super major, BP and Eni have struck a deal to take an operating stake in a highly prospective exploration licence in Namibia's Orange basin close to Galp Energia's huge Mopane discovery and next door to acreage where Shell has made five discoveries. Azule Energy , the 50:50 joint venture between BP and Eni which brings together their Angolan assets, has struck an agreement with privately owned Rhino Resources to enter Petroleum Exploration Licence 85 which covers Block 2914A. Representing the voice of the African energy sector, the African Energy Chamber (AEC) stands in support of Azule Energy’s venture into the Orange Basin, recognizing the value of the transaction in unlocking the full potential of the country’s oil and gas resources. The deal is a testament to the prospectivity of the basin as well as the high level of international interest in Namibia’s offshore oil and gas opportunities. #namibia #oil #gas #exploration Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board (NIPDB) bp Eni NJ Ayuk JD, MBA.
