The drilling ship "Stena Forth" arrived on the Moroccan coast to begin new drilling and exploration operations in the offshore Anchoa field, with the aim of increasing natural gas reserves in Morocco and strengthening its position as an energy producer in the region.
It is estimated that the Anchoa field contains large quantities of natural gas that could cover a large portion of Morocco's energy needs.
This ship will drill several exploratory wells in the Anchoa field with the aim of accurately assessing the size of gas reserves.
A number of international and Moroccan companies are participating in this project, including the Greek company Energean, the British company Chariot, and the Moroccan Office of Hydrocarbons and Minerals.
The project aims to increase natural gas reserves in Morocco, which enhances energy security and creates job opportunities in various sectors. It contributes to the development of the Moroccan economy.
