TRIPOLI, Libya – Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi has held talks with two North African leaders concerning major ongoing offshore development projects.
In Tripoli, Descalzi met Fayez al-Sarraj, Head of the Presidential Council of the Libyan government of National Accord, and the president of the state oil company Mustafa Sanalla.
High on the agenda was the second phase of development of theBahr Essalam field, one of Libya’s largest offshore reservoirs and a source of gas supply for the Greenstream trunkline in the Mediterranean Sea.
