Eni has begun gas production in the Tuna field, within the Temsah concession, located in the Mediterranean sea off the coast of Egypt. It is expected that by September, the project will yield around 4.5 million scm/day, and will contribute approximately 8,500 be/day to Eni's equity share production.
Eni owns a 50 per cent of the Temsah concession with the remaining 50 per cent owned by BP. Petrobel, a joint operating company owned by International Egyptian Oil Company (IEOC) and Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC), is the operator of the Tuna project. The project consists of a new 4 leg platform in approximately 80 meters of water, three producing wells and 14km of 24" pipeline connecting to an existing infrastructure.
Eni's activities in the Temsah concession, one of the most lucrative in Egyptian waters, with production in excess of 170,000 b/d, continue with ongoing campaign of infill drilling in Temsah, and development of the Denise B field, which is expected to begin production in 2011.
