ATHENS, Greece — Energean has approval from Israel’s government for its Phase 1 development of the Katlan/Tanin area offshore Israel.
Phase 1 includes the Athena, Zeus, Hera and Apollo gas accumulations. In the next few weeks, the company expects to confirm the award of a 30-year production license, and it will take FID on the project after finalizing terms.
Earlier this month, Energean produced first gas from the Karish North subsea tieback to the FPSO Energean Power offshore Israel.
This summer operator Eni should deliver first gas from the Cassiopea Field development offshore Sicily, Italy (Energean 40%). Drilling started last November with the production well completed in January, and remaining offshore and onshore work is progressing.
Earlier this month, the administrative court of Lazio (Rome) ruled in favor of a claim submitted by the company and other operators, annulling the PITESAI plan and its applicable acts15. The decision could open potential new activities on Italian exploration acreage or in existing leases.
