SAN DONATO MILANESE, Italy  Eni has formalized the revocation of force majeure status on Libyan exploration areas C (offshore) and A and B (onshore) with state-owned NOC.

The Italian major operates with a 42.5% interest, in partnership with bp (42.5%) and the Libyan Investment Authority (15%).

Force majeure had been declared in 2014, but it  was revoked after Eni conducted a security risk assessment of security conditions in areas where an exploration program is planned. The findings were positive.

Now the company can resume the contract activities in exploration basins, some of which are close to the Wafa gas facilities that export production to Italy.
