On 13 February 2020, Eni presumably abandoned the exploratory well Nigma 1 in the Northeast Hapy Offshore block, Levantine Deep Sub-basin (Levantine Basin).  The well, which was spudded in late November 2019 was drilled by ADVantage, a joint venture between ADES and Vantage Drilling International.  In early October 2019, the company confirmed the award of a deep-water drilling contract in the Egyptian Mediterranean area and indicated that it would provide the work via Vantage Drillingâs Tungsten Explorer. The contract was running for one firm well estimated to run for 73 days.  Four other wells have been drilled in the Northeast Hapy Offshore block. Eni subsidiary IEOC made the Fahd 1 gas discovery in 2002. Gujarat drilled three wells in 2012: Hapy North 1 was dry while Hapy North 2 and 4 hit gas.  Participants in the Northeast Hapy Offshore block are: IEOC, operator with 70% and Edison with 30%.
