Studying plans to complete the transition and decarbonisation of the Egyptian energy sector were some of the topics at the centre of the meeting in Cairo, held on 16 January 2023 between the President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, and Eni's CEO, Claudio Descalzi. It was an opportunity to develop circular economy projects and collaborate on emission reduction technologies as foreseen by signing the Memorandum of Intent (MoI). In line with this strategy, which is also aimed at ensuring security and diversification in the gas supply, in February 2023 the Damietta plant produced its 500th LNG cargo after resuming production in March 2021.

READ MOREWe create energy
In Egypt, we are involved in the offshore and onshore development of the Zohr, Nooros, Baltim W and Meleiha hydrocarbon projects, but we also aim to have a positive impact on communities through our initiatives. As part of the social responsibility initiatives in 2020, the socio-economic and health support programmes defined in the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2017 were continued. Also in this area, in 2021 we conducted work on the water network to reduce water losses in the system at Abu Madi. The intervention resulted in a decrease in freshwater withdrawals supplied by third parties of approximately 190 m3 per day at the end of 2021 compared to 2019. In order to meet the needs of the operational site, two coastal wells were drilled and once the compatibility of the water with the fire fighting system had been assessed, they were connected to the fire fighting system's supply network with an estimated monthly saving of approximately 2,000 m3.
Zohr, a discovery that never ceases to amaze us
The field is the largest gas discovery ever made in Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea, and the integrated approach used has allowed us to bring the first gas into production less than 2.5 years after its discovery, which is a record time for this type of field. Zohr is located within the Shorouk concession, approximately 190 kilometres north of Port Said.
Discover ZohrNooros, the Nile Delta and its gas
We discovered the field (where we operate on 75% of the area) in July 2015 and started production there in record time in September of the same year. In 2018, we completed the start-up of two additional development wells and in 2019 we completed a pipeline to transport gas to the treatment plant in El Gamil. The discovery of the Nidoco NW-1 well in the Abu Madi West concession was made in 2020.
