Eni's Nikaitchuq hits 25,000 bpd
Eni has reached a production level of 25,000 barrels per day at its North Slope Nikaitchuq field.
The company said June 19 that it began production at the field, in which it has a 100 percent interest, in January 2011. Nikaitchuq is the first field operated by Eni in the Arctic.
And 25,000 bpd isn't expected to be the field's peak production.
"We are now working toward our new goal to reach 30,000 barrels per day in the next 12 months," Federico Arisi Rota, Eni's Houston-based executive vice president for the Americas, said in a statement. Rota said he is "confident we will reach this goal in the same way we have met earlier challenges."
