Eni, Tharwa to finish drill first well in Noor by December

Eni and Tharwa Petroleum will reportedly complete in December drilling work on the Noor gas field’s first exploratory well, government sources tell Al Masry Al Youm. The two companies began work on the offshore North Sinai field late last month under a USD 105 mn concession agreement signed with the government in August. Eni had previously denied claims that Noor contains 90 tcf of natural gas reserves.
