Italian major Eni announced yesterday the start-up of the HDLE/HDLS oil field in in the Berkine North Basin onshore Algeria, only six months after its discovery in March.
HDLE/HDLS is currently producing 10,000 b/d. Production ramp up will be achieved through an accelerated development plan which envisages the drilling of new wells in 2023.
According to Eni, this achievement in partnership with Sonatrach and in cooperation with the local authorities, was made possible by Eni’s distinctive upstream business model.
HDLE/HDLS fast track development, in addition to the recent Berkine South start-up, will contribute towards exceeding 120,000 boed of equity production in Algeria in 2023, strengthening the role of Eni as the main international energy company operating in the country.
