Eni achieves record production from Nooros field offshore

ROME - 15 March 2015: Italy's Eni company has strengthened its record production from the Nowras gas field, offshore Egypt, which reached a production of 32 million cubic meters per day, equivalent to around 215,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

This production level represents the highest ever recorded by an Eni field in Egypt in the last 50 years, according to the Italian news agency "Aki".

This significant result has been reached thanks to the start-up of the NW-7 well, the thirteenth drilled within this field.

Production levels will increase further by June 2018 when a fourteenth well, currently under drilling, will start up.

This is expected to allow Eni to reach 34 million cubic meters per day of production, equivalent to around 230,000 barrels of oil.
