The agreement will enable both parties to carry out and launch joint initiatives in areas of mutual interest, including renewable energy, and LNG supply and exploration.
Bahraini Oil minister Shaikh Mohammed said at the signing ceremony that the “MoU will allow for further discussion on collaboration between Tatweer Petroleum and ENI, including the sharing of experience, expertise, and support on renewable energy, LNG supply, and exploration activities”.
