The EIA integrates recommendations from the National Environmental Committee, is valid for
five years and covers all aspects of the development including future wells and offshore
infrastructure, the onshore Central Process Facility and link to the GME pipeline.
Pierre Raillard, Head of Gas Business and Morocco Country Director at Chariot commented:
\u201cSecuring 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\u2019s development, alongside other activities such as our partnering process which is close to conclusion. On behalf of Chariot, I would like to thank the National Environmental Committee and the Ministry for their endorsement and support. I would also like to thank the Chariot team, our partner ONHYM and our consultants who collaborated so closely across all workstreams. We are fully committed to ensuring that Anchois is developed in line with best practice as set out in the report.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chariot Limited has announced that it has received approval for its Environmental Impact Assessment from the Moroccan Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development on the Anchois gas development project … Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":14038,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7442,7446,11],"tags":[11380,1629],"class_list":["post-14037","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-countries","category-north-africa","category-top-news","tag-ministry-of-energy-transition-and-sustainable-development","tag-morocco","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Morocco-Anchois-Gas-Development.png?fit=496%2C518&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5JWkQ-3Ep","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":11388,"url":"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/morocco-chariot-commences-drilling-operations-on-the-anchois-gas-development-project\/","url_meta":{"origin":14037,"position":0},"title":"MOROCCO: Chariot Commences Drilling Operations on the Anchois Gas Development Project","author":"","date":"December 15, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"Chariot has announced that the Stena Don drilling rig has now arrived on location in the Lixus licence, offshore Morocco, to carry out drilling operations on the Anchois gas development project.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00b7\u00a0Operations to drill the Anchois-2 gas appraisal & exploration well and re-enter the previously drilled Anchois-1 gas discovery well\u2026","rel":"","context":"In "Countries"","block_context":{"text":"Countries","link":"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/category\/countries\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MOROCCO-Anchois-1.jpg?fit=700%2C577&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MOROCCO-Anchois-1.jpg?fit=700%2C577&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MOROCCO-Anchois-1.jpg?fit=700%2C577&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MOROCCO-Anchois-1.jpg?fit=700%2C577&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":15029,"url":"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/morocco-chariot-regains-operatorship-of-the-lixus-and-rissana-licences\/","url_meta":{"origin":14037,"position":1},"title":"MOROCCO: Chariot Regains Operatorship of the Lixus and Rissana licences","author":"","date":"May 15, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"Chariot has regained Operatorship of the Lixus and Rissana licences, offshore Morocco, with Energean plc returning its interests to Chariot.
