DUBAI - Italy's Eni is reviewing its energy projects in the Middle East, including those in partnership with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Co, because of the coronavirus outbreak and current oil market conditions, a senior company official said on Tuesday.

"Coronavirus has impacted Eni, as any other IOC (international oil company) and we are at the moment reviewing all our ongoing projects for this year 2020 and 2021," Fuad Krekshi, Eni's regional executive vice president, told a media conference call.

"We expect to come out with the revised plan sometime in the next month or first quarter."

Eni's portfolio in the Middle East includes upstream and downstream projects in Bahrain, Lebanon, Oman and the United Arab Emirates.

Asked if the current environment will have an impact on development of the Ghasha sour gas field in Abu Dhabi, Krekshi said any immediate impact will show in the reviews.

The Ghasha concession in Abu Dhabi is operated by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC), which has a 25 percent stake awarded to Eni in 2018, and another 10 percent stake acquired by Germany's Wintershall, a subsidiary of chemicals company BASF, in the same year. Austria's OMV was awarded the remaining 5% interest.

The Ghasha ultra-sour gas project is located on the northwestern shore of Abu Dhabi and is estimated to have daily production capacity of approximately one billion cubic feet (bcf) of sour gas.

"Any immediate impact be the result of our review and it will be announced sometime next month," Krekshi said. "We will be having a joint review with our partners, with our main partners in Adnoc."

He said it was very early to make judgements, but officials were reviewing all options and different scenarios.
