Eni: important new discoveries in Mozambique

 

• Discoveries made at Mamba South 2 and Coral 2 delineation wells add 6 trillion cubic feet (tcf) plus to the resources of Area 4.
• Full potential of Mamba Complex in Area 4 is estimated at 75 tcf of gas in place.

San Donato Milanese (Milan), December 5, 2012 - Eni announces new natural gas discoveries within the Mamba Complex, in Area 4, offshore Mozambique, at the Mamba South 2 and Coral 2 delineation wells, which are respectively the sixth and seventh wells drilled back to back in Area 4.

The new discoveries add 6 tcf of gas in place to Area 4, confirming at least 68 tcf of gas in place already discovered. The resources exclusively located in Area 4 are now estimated at about 23 tcf plus of gas in place and the full potential of Mamba Complex at 75 tcf of gas in place and will be assessed with the coming delineation wells.

Mamba South 2 was drilled in 1,918 meters of water and reached total depth of 4,300 meters. The well is located approximately 9 kilometers east of Mamba South 1 and approximately 50 kilometers off the Capo Delgado coast. The well encountered 60 meters of gas pay in high quality Oligocene reservoirs. The discovery proved the existence of hydraulic communication with the same reservoir of Mamba South 1. The well flowed lean gas with excellent test parameters which led to the estimation of a sustained production rate of 140 million standard cubic feet per day.

Coral 2 was drilled in 1,950 meters of water and reached a total depth of 4,725 meters. The well is located approximately 15 kilometers north west of Coral 1 and approximately 50 kilometers off the Capo Delgado coast. The well encountered 140 meters of gas pay in good quality Eocene reservoirs. The discovery proved the existence of hydraulic communication with the same reservoir of Coral 1. Eni is currently planning a production test in the Coral 2 discovery.

Eni plans to drill at least two further delineation wells back-to-back, Coral 3 and Mamba South 3, in order to assess the full potential of the Mamba Complex discoveries.

These last successes further strengthen the potential of Area 4 on which Eni is studying the development plans of this huge gas reserve base.

Eni’s Board of Directors

 

San Donato Milanese (Milan), December 5, 2012 - Eni’s Extraordinary Board of Directors meeting, called by Eni’s Chairman Giuseppe Recchi, examined the information on the investigation by the Public Prosecution Office of Milan into the activities of Saipem in Algeria. In recent days Eni, in its capacity as a major shareholder in the company, sent the Chairman of Saipem its views regarding the investigation as well as urging Saipem Board of Directors to take immediate remedial actions in managing the situation.

Eni’s Board of Directors notes the decisions taken on the matter by Saipem Board of Directors, which was convened today, and the resignation of Saipem’s CEO and Deputy Chairman Pietro Franco Tali.

Umberto Vergine, following his appointment as the new CEO of Saipem, leaves his previous position as COO of the Gas & Power Division. Eni’s Board of Directors has appointed the Chief Executive Officer Paolo Scaroni as COO of the Gas & Power Division ad interim.

Alessandro Bernini, former CFO of Saipem until 2008, has resigned his position as the current CFO and charged with preparing a company's financial reports pursuant to Article 154-bis of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 at Eni.

While Alessandro Bernini considers that his actions were right and proper, it is his view that Eni’s interests are better served by his resignation. The Board of Directors has noted his resignation, and thanks him for his consideration of the company's interests.

Massimo Mondazzi has today been appointed CFO at Eni and charged with preparing a company's financial reports pursuant to Article 154-bis of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998.

Paolo Scaroni meets Rafael Ramírez

 

Caracas (Venezuela), December 21, 2012 - The Minister of Petroleum and Mines of Venezuela, Rafael Ramírez, and Eni’s CEO Paolo Scaroni, met today in Caracas to discuss joint activities and projects in the country.

During the meeting, which was held in a cordial atmosphere, the two parties discussed the development of the giant Perla field, one of the world's largest gas fields that has been discovered in recent years, and of Junín-5, which holds 35 billion barrels of heavy oil in place.

The offshore Perla field is located in the Cardón IV block in the Gulf of Venezuela, 50 kilometers from the shore in a water depth of 60 meters. The field was discovered at the end of 2009 and subsequently four successful appraisal and delineation wells have been drilled. The current estimated gas in place equals approximately 17 Trillion cubic feet (Tcf), or 3.1 billion barrels of oil equivalent. The meeting was focused on the progress of the activities development for which contracts to build platforms and laying pipelines in the sea are in progress of assignment.

Perla shareholders, following the entry of PDVSA in the project, will be Eni (32.5%), Repsol (32.5%) and PDVSA (35%).

The state of the operations of the Junín-5 field, which will begin production in early 2013, a year ahead of the date expected in the original first oil development plan, was also examined.

Furthermore, during the meeting the possibility of a further significant growth of Eni's presence in the country was discussed.
