Snam Rete Gas, a subsidiary of Italy's Eni, signed a memorandum of understanding on 7 November to build the Italian section of the Galsi natural gas pipeline between Algeria and Italy. The section includes a 300-kilometre-long overland section in Sicily, between Cagliari and Olbia, and a 220-kilometre offshore section to Pescaia on the Italian mainland, at a depth of 900 metres (MEED 2:11:07).
