In Ivory Coast, the authorities announce a new major hydrocarbon discovery, this is the “Calao’ deposit. Located 45 kilometers off the coast, this discovery was made by the Italian group ENI in partnership with the national company Petroci.
Estimates currently indicate reserves of around 1 to 1.5 billion barrels of oil. The State expects direct revenue from the exploitation of this deposit: more than half of the profit, but also the creation of jobs, including 1,500 permanent and 7,000 indirect.
