The Nooros exploration prospect is located in the Abu Madi West license in the Nile Delta, 120 kilometres north-east of Alexandria, Egypt. Preliminary estimates of the discovery account for a potential of 15 billion cubic metres of gas in place with upside, plus associated condensates. important exploration success has been made through the Nidoco NW2 Dir NFW well, which reached a total depth of 3,600 metres and encountered a 60 metres thick gas bearing sandstone interval of Messianian age with excellent petrophysical properties, further of other gas layers in the overlying Pliocene section. The new discovery will be put into production in two months’ time through a tie-in to the existing Abu Madi gas treatment plant, located 25 kilometres south-east.
Eni, through its subsidiary Ieoc Production BV, holds a 75% of working interest in the West Abu Madi development lease, with BP as a partner with 25%. Petrobel, equally owned by Ieoc (50%) and EGPC (50%), is the operator of the concession.
BP signed concession amendments for the Temsah, Ras El Barr and Nile Delta Offshore concessions allowing for the economic development of the Nooros field. (September, 2016)
