Energy Giant "Energean" Announces Arrival of "Stena Forth" Drillship off the Coasts of Morocco, Commencing Drilling Operations at the "Anchois 3" Well
- The Anchois project contains 18 billion cubic meters of natural gas, the largest undeveloped discovery in Morocco, with an additional 21 billion cubic meters of potential untapped resources.
- Paddy Blower, the company's Strategic Communications Advisor, said in response to a question from Alsharq: The drilling operations will enable the company to plan for production activities, engage with potential gas buyers, and identify additional gas quantities.
- In an email response, he continued: "We have high hopes for Morocco because we see the potential to replicate our successes and thereby achieve energy security through local production."
The arrival of the "Stena Forth" drillship off the coasts of Morocco marks the commencement of drilling operations at the "Anchois 3" well by the energy company "Energean". This project represents the largest undeveloped natural gas discovery in Morocco, with an estimated 18 billion cubic meters of gas, and an additional 21 billion cubic meters of potential untapped resources.
Paddy Blower, the Strategic Communications Advisor for Energean, stated in response to a query from Alsharq that the drilling operations will enable the company to plan for production activities, engage with potential gas buyers, and identify any additional gas quantities that may be present.
Furthermore, in an email response, Blower expressed the company's high hopes for Morocco, as they see the potential to replicate their past successes and thereby achieve energy security through local production.
This latest development in the Anchois project underscores Morocco's growing prominence as a significant player in the energy sector, and the country's efforts to harness its natural resources to meet its domestic energy needs and potentially become a regional energy exporter.
