The
head of British Gas said Wednesday the company was going to invest
some 1.25 billion dollars (1 billion euros) in two gas de
posits in Tunisia.
About half a billion would be used to develop the Miskar field and around 1.2
billion would be slated for the mining of the new Hasdrubal field, in partnership
with Tunisia's state-owned oil company ETAP, according to the ETAP website.
Construction at the new gas deposit has begun, both on- and off-shore, and production
is set to start in 2009, Wilson said in a statement on the ETAP site.
British Gas will become the leading producer of gas and liquid petroleum (GPL)
in Tunisia, Wilson added.
