Egypt awarded on Tuesday four blocks in an oil and gas exploration bid round for concessions in the Mediterranean and Nile Delta to Italy’s Eni, BP, QatarEnergy, and Russia’s Zarubezhneft, the petroleum ministry said.
Eni would take two blocks by itself and a third in a partnership with BP and QatarEnergy, while Zarubezhneft was also awarded a block.
