Eni said to be in talks with Shell to connect Western Desert well with processing plant in Obayed

Italian oil and gas giant Eni is reportedly in talks with Royal Dutch Shell to begin pumping a daily 23 mcf of gas a well in its Western Desert concession to the company’s processing plant in Obayed, unnamed EGAS officials said yesterday. The Faramit well will be closed until the two sides agree on the terms of constructing a pipeline connecting the field to the facility, they added. No further details were provided.
