On 7 May, an imposing industrial infrastructure destined for the Bouri oil field, some 170 kilometres off the coast of Libya, set sail from the port of Ravenna. The offshore module, with a weight of more than 5,200 tonnes and a height of 45 metres, is designed to exploit the gas associated with oil extraction, which is largely dispersed or burnt off.
This is not a simple technical operation, but an initiative that is part of a broader energy and geopolitical strategy in the Mediterranean.
