In March and August 2022, the Chief Executive Officer of Eni, Claudio Descalzi, met with the President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, to discuss Eni’s activities in the country, as well as areas of common interest and collaboration. In particular, the meetings dealt with the issues of natural gas production and LNG exports, areas in which Egypt has taken on a central role in the Mediterranean since Eni’s discovery of Zohr. The parties shared Egypt’s vision of becoming a regional hub for gas, by leveraging the existing LNG plants. Eni currently produces about 60% of the gas in the country. Furthermore, the company is committed to supporting local production based on an ambitious exploration and development campaign, which would also contribute to increasing gas exports to Europe, through the Damietta liquefaction plant. In the light of the energy transition process, the parties also agreed on the opportunity of implementing a series of solar and wind power projects, targeting 10 GW of installed capacity over the next few years. Mr Descalzi also explained Eni’s commitment to accelerating the decarbonisation of its activities, and to develop CO2 capture and storage (CCS) and hydrogen production projects.

We work closely with producing countries, partners and local institutions to progressively differentiate our global portfolio.
DISCOVER MOREWe create energy
In Egypt we are engaged in the offshore and onshore development of the Zohr, Nooros, Baltim W and Meleiha projects for the production of hydrocarbons, and we also aim to have a positive impact on communities with our initiatives. Within the social responsibility initiatives, in 2020 the programs concerned three socio-economic and health programs defined by the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2017 are currently to be implemented.
Zohr, a discovery that never ceases to amaze us
The Zohr field is believed to be the largest-ever gas discovery in Egypt and the Mediterranean. The integrated approach we’ve taken with this project has enabled us to bring the gas on stream just over two years from initial discovery; a record for this type of deposit. Zohr is located within the Shorouk concession, approximately 190 km north of the city of Port Said.
Discover ZohrNooros, the Nile Delta and its gas
We discovered the field (of which we are operators with 75%) in July 2015 and put it into production in record time in September of the same year. In 2018, we completed the start-up of two further development wells and in 2019 we have built a pipeline for gas carriage to the El Gamil treater.

In the town overlooking the Mediterranean, where the Zohr, El Gamil and UGDC onshore plants are located, we have set up a business model strongly focused on long-term value creation.
