Eni strikes gas at Zohr 5x well offshore Egypt

Italian energy firm Eni is making progress with the development of its giant Zohr gas field in the Mediterranean Sea, offshore Egypt.

The company on Thursday said that Zohr 5x, the fifth well on Zohr structure, was been successfully drilled to the final TD of 14,271 ft (4,350 m). The Zohr 5x well is located in 1,538 m of water depth and 12 Km south-west from the discovery well Zohr 1x.

The well proved the presence of a carbonatic reservoir and gas accumulation also in the South-Western part of the Zohr mega-structure encountering about 590 feet (180 meters) of continuous hydrocarbon column in the carbonate sequence with excellent reservoir characteristics. The results are confirming the potential of the Zohr Field at 30 Tcf OGIP, Eni said.
