San Donato Milanese, 15 July 2013 - Today in Baghdad Eni has signed with South Oil Company and the Iraqi Ministry of Oil an Amendment to the Technical Service Contract for the development of the Zubair Oil Field.

The Technical Service Contract for the giant Zubair Oil Field, located near Basrah and regarded as one of the largest oil fields in Iraq, was awarded in 2010 as a result of Iraqs first bidding round, with a production plateau target of 1.2 million barrels of oil per day.

The Amendment to the Technical Service Contract comes after constructive discussions between Eni and the Iraqi authorities and represents a tangible sign of the positive mutual co-operation on the development of the Field.
