Eni was awarded three new explorative licenses in Egypt in the context of the international competitive bid rounds EGPC and EGAS 2013. The new licenses will be formally assigned in a short time - informs a press release from the Italian group - following the ratification and finalization of the concession agreements.
"I am very satisfied with this result - commented Eni's CEO, Claudio Descalzi - the acquisition of these new exploration permits further consolidates our presence in Egypt, a historically and strategically important country for Eni".
