Mellitah Oil & Gas BV—the joint venture between Eni SPA and the Libyan National Oil Corporation (NOC)—has finished construction of the Bouri gas utilization project (GUP) in Libya's western offshore area, with startup procedures now underway.

The development centers on a new 5,000-tonne gas recovery module installed on Bouri field's DP4 platform in water depths of 145–183 m, Eni said in a release Oct. 19.

The infrastructure recovers and treats associated gas previously flared from Bouri field, enabling incremental production of about 700 million cu m/year, recovered volumes of which will support Libya's domestic power generation sector while providing additional gas for export through the GreenStream pipeline to Europe.
