According to a press release issued by Eni, “This achievement, reached in partnership with Sonatrach and in cooperation with the local authorities, was made possible by Eni’s distinctive upstream business model, based on the parallelization of project activities.”
For Sonatrach, the start of production signals a new era of supply security and revenue generation both for the NOC and for the country at large, while for Eni, contributes significantly towards the company’s already strong foothold in the North African country.
