The offshore modules built for the Bouri Gas Utilization Project have departed the Piomboni yard in Marina di Ravenna after load-out operations that began on 21 April were completed.

The shipment includes the Gas Recovery Module and two subsea connection modules prepared for offshore installation at Libya’s Bouri field in the Mediterranean Sea. The structures were constructed for Saipem, the main contractor for the BGUP development, commissioned by MOG Energy, a joint venture between Eni and NOC.

The Gas Recovery Module is designed to support the recovery and use of associated gas produced at the field. The project aims to reduce emissions and improve the efficiency of the existing production system by upgrading current infrastructure.

The departure of the modules closes the onshore construction phase at the Ravenna fabrication yard. The project will now continue with offshore activities.

Construction work on the industrial structures started in 2023 and involved engineering, fabrication, and logistics activities across the supply chain. The shipment marks a key delivery milestone for the project.

Reuters sources describe preliminary negotiations with no certainty of a deal. Eni's Libyan output averaged about 162,000 boe/d in 2025, while neither company confirmed the discussions.
Saipem and MDC will consider joint ventures, consortia and project-specific agreements, while a joint committee coordinates cooperation that could include training, asset management and project support.
NOC targets launch by the end of October, while Eni forecasts annual domestic gas supply of about 700 million standard cubic metres from facilities built to recover gas previously flared at Bouri.
