In 2016 Eni entered the Rabat Deep Offshore License, becoming operator on a hi-risk frontier play, the Jurassic carbonates, totally un-explored in the northern Moroccan offshore. The Saipem 12000 drillship spudded the Rabat Deep 1 well (RSD-1) on 14 March 2018, in 1100 m water depth. The final TD of 3180 m, within the Jurassic carbonates, was reached on 26 April 2018.
