Eni has made a world class supergiant gas discovery at its Zohr Prospect, in the deep waters of Egypt. The discovery could hold  a potential of 30 trillion cubic feet of lean gas in place covering  an area of about 100 square kilometres. Zohr is the largest gas discovery ever made in Egypt and in the Mediterranean Sea. Eni will immediately appraise the field with the aim of accelerating a fast track development of the discovery that will utilise at best the existing offshore and onshore infrastructures. Eni&rsquo s CEO, Claudio Descalzi, has recently travelled to Cairo to update Egypt&rsquo s President,   Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, on this important success, and discuss this discovery with the Prime Minister, Ibrahim Mahlab, and the Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Sherif Ismail.

• The discovery, after its full development, will be able to ensure satisfying Egypt&rsquo s natural gas demand for decades
• According to the well and geophysical data available, the field could hold a potential of 30 trillion cubic feet of lean gas in place, therefore representing one of the world&rsquo s largest natural-gas finds, located in a permit where Eni holds a 100% of the Contractor&rsquo s working interest
