As Egypt’s largest oil and gas investor, Eni is ramping up its 2026–2027 drilling campaign with new investments cross the Mediterranean offshore, Nile Delta, Western Desert, and offshore Sinai to strengthen the country’s role as a regional gas and LNG export hub.
This paper presents an experiment investigating dissolution of basaltic primary minerals and conditions favorable for secondary phase formation under deep subsurface storage conditions.
This study aims to investigate the efficacy of chemical additives strontium chloride and barium hydroxide in accelerating CO₂ trapping mechanisms, their effect on dissolution of carbonate-bearing minerals, and resulting poroelastic changes in the host rock.

A new program offers an affordable way to figure out if salt precipitation could be behind underperforming gas wells and suggests a path to higher production. -
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies have rapidly progressed and have significantly affected traditional reservoir engineering, bringing innovative methodologies to reservoir simulations. However, it is essential to understand that these AI and ML technologies are only as effective and trustworthy as the data they are trained on.
