ENI has been prevented from carrying out exploration activities offshore Portugal, Alentejo Basin, due to ‘unforeseen circumstances’, but Medserv confirmed that its subsidiary continues to operate in Portugal and to provide related services to ENI. Last May, Medserv announced that it had been awarded a six-month contract to provide a logistics base and associated services for ENI’s exploration activities – and that it had accordingly set up a wholly-owned subsidiary in Portugal with the name ‘MDS Energy Portugal Unipessoal LDA’.
