Morocco Green-Lights EIA for Anchois Natural Gas Development
The final report outlines the necessary planning, mitigation and monitoring measures to be implemented during the construction and production phases of the project.
Pierre Raillard, Head of Gas Business and Morocco Country Director at Chariot, stated: “Securing approval of this EIA is a major milestone for Anchois and is the culmination of extensive time and teamwork that has gone into this critical process. This is a key building block for sanctioning the project’s development, alongside other activities such as our partnering process, which is close to conclusion.”
The EIA, valid for five years, incorporates recommendations from the National Environmental Committee and encompasses all aspects of the natural gas development, including future wells and offshore infrastructure, the onshore central processing facility and its connection to the Maghreb–Europe Gas Pipeline.
