E ENI Spa

By Maitane Sardon

Eni SpA said it has started production at two gas fields related to a contract with Sonatrach in Algeria's basin of Berkine South.

The Italian oil-and-gas major said Berkine South, which it operates with Algeria's state-owned Sonatrach, has a production capacity of 1 million standard cubic meters of gas per day. The company said it expects to increase capacity to around 2 million cubic meters of gas per day by the end of the year.

New volumes will help satisfy the demands of the European market, Eni said.
