Eni plans 6,100 sq km 3D seismic survey offshore Sirte Basin
Eni is preparing a large seismic campaign in Libya’s offshore Area O1 in the Sirte Basin, according to a report published on Monday by Axiom Energy Partners. The programme pairs a three-dimensional marine survey of about 6,100 square kilometres with roughly 3,000 kilometres of two-dimensional lines.
The National Oil Corporation (NOC) has set a September 2027 to March 2028 window for the work, the report said. Contractors interested in bidding have until 2 December 2026 to submit prequalification documents.
The survey is meant to give a clearer picture of the area’s subsurface formations and to support further exploration in the Sirte Basin, Libya’s main oil-producing region.
