MILAN — Eni announced on July 29 another significant gas discovery of 1 Tcf to 1.5 Tcf of raw gas in place in a deeper zone in its first exploration well drilled in Block 2 offshore Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

This discovery follows the initial finding in a shallower zone of the same well, aggregating to a total gas in place of 2.5 Tcf to 3.5 Tcf.

The gas-bearing reservoirs were tested with excellent flow rates, and fast-track development options are under evaluation.

Eni has a 70% stake and is operator of Block 2, with partner PTTEP (30%).

Eni has been present in Abu Dhabi since 2018. The company is the operator of three exploration concessions and has a participation with ADNOC in three offshore development and production concessions, Lower Zakum (5%), Umm Shaif and Nasr (10%) and Ghasha (25%).
