NOC Chairman Mustafa Sanalla met a team from IOC partner Eni to discuss review future plans.

As for future projects, following the successful completion of Bahr Essalam Phase 2 Project, NOC and Eni are now cooperating to proceed with the FEED activity to develop Structure A&E gas fields at nearby Bar El Salam field.

Further development opportunities were studied in the Bouri offshore field with the aim of improving hydrocarbon recovery. Potential undeveloped oil and gas discoveries in the onshore Ghadames Basin are also being assessed

NOC and Eni will also study the feasibility of solar plants and wind farms, with both parties agreeing that renewables can meet the demand for more electrical power without increasing local hydrocarbon consumption, while freeing up new gas resources.
