Description

Eni is a major integrated energy company, committed to growth in the activities of finding, producing, transporting, transforming and marketing oil and gas. The company operates in the oil and gas, electricity generation and sale, petrochemicals, oilfield services construction and engineering industries. Eni is active in 70 countries with a staff of about 79,000 employees. 

Eni engages in oil and natural gas exploration, field development and production, mainly in Italy, Algeria, Angola, Congo, Egypt, Ghana, Libya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Norway, Kazakhstan, the UK, the United States and Venezuela, overall in 46 countries.

Hydrocarbon production

  • 1.71 million boe/d in the fourth quarter 2020 (down by 11% compared to the same period of 2019), 1.73 boe/d in the full year, in line with the consensus.
  • Net of price effects, the decline was due to COVID-19 impacts, related OPEC+ production cuts and lower gas demand, mainly in Egypt. Production start-ups/ramp-ups, better contribution of Kazakhstan and portfolio contributions in Norway were partly offset by lower volumes in Libya driven by an expected contractual trigger, lower entitlements/spending and losses due to force majeure, as well as mature field declines.
  • In the full year start-ups and ramp-ups added 109 kboe/d mainly in Mexico (ramp-up of Area 1), Algeria (Berkine gas field start-up), Congo (Nenè phase 2B start-up) and Angola (Agogo oilfield start-up).

In the fourth quarter of 2020, oil and natural gas production averaged 1.713 million boe/d (1.733 million boe/d in the full year of 2020), a decrease of 11% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019 (down by 7% from the full year of 2019). Net of price effects, the decline was due to COVID19 effects and related OPEC+ production cuts as well as lower gas demand, mainly in Egypt. Production start-ups/ramp-ups in Algeria and Mexico, better contribution of Kazakhstan and portfolio contributions in Norway, were partly offset by the lower volumes in Libya driven by an anticipated contractual trigger, lower entitlements/spending and force majeure, as well as mature field declines.

Liquids production in the quarter was 809 kbbl/d, down by 13% from the fourth quarter 2019 (843 kbbl/d in the full year, down by 6% compared to the same period of 2019). The reduction in Libya, the effect of OPEC+ cuts, as well as mature field declines were partly offset by the contribution of portfolio activities and production growth in Mexico due to the ramp-up of Area 1, Angola for the start-up of Agogo, Congo due to the Nenè phase 2B start-up, Algeria and Kazakhstan.

Natural gas production in the quarter amounted to 4,800 mmcf/d, decreasing by 579 mmcf/d or by 11% y-o-y (4,729 mmcf/d in the full year, down by 11%). Lower production in Libya and the impact of lower natural gas demand in certain areas (mainly in Egypt), as well as lower LNG demand were partly offset by the growth in Algeria due to the start-up of the Berkine gas project and in Kazakhstan.

Proved oil & gas reserves 

  • In 2020, net additions of proved reserves were 271 million boe relating to new discoveries, extensions and revisions of previous estimates. These additions drove an all-sources reserve replacement ratio of 43%. Net additions were impacted by unfavorable price effects (for 6 million boe) mainly due to a decreased Brent reference price for reserve estimation (41 $/barrel in 2020 compared to 63 $/barrel in 2019) driving downward revisions of reserves which became uneconomical in this environment and increased entitlements in certain PSAs.
  • The reserve life index was 10.9 years as of December 31, 2020

Long-Term Strategic Plan to 2050

  • Upstream production growth at an annual rate of 3.5% up to 2025, subsequent flexible decline mainly for oil. Gas production by 2050 will make up about 85% of total production.
  • Resilient and flexible 3P Reserves: $20/bbl average breakeven, 94% of value realised by 2035 assuming a constant Brent price of $50/bbl. Ability to modulate future investments in exploration and development to respond to the evolution of the market.
  • Sustainable gas production: forest conservation and CO2 capture and storage projects for a total of over 40 million tons/year by 2050. Electricity production from gas combined with CO2 capture and storage projects will complement renewables power supply.
  • Renewables strong growth to over 55 GW by 2050. Developments mainly in OECD countries to supply energy to our clients, with retail customers expected to grow to over 20 million by 2050
  • Refining: gradual conversion of Italian sites by focusing on new technologies for the production of decarbonised products from the recycling of waste materials. Increase in bio-refining capacity to 5 million tonnes per year, palm-oil free from 2023, 7 years ahead of the EU ban.
  • Carbon footprint: developed methodology, reviewed and verified by third parties, for the comprehensive measurement of emissions. On this basis, fixed 2050 reduction targets of 80% of absolute emissions (well above the 70% threshold indicated by the IEA in the Sustainable Development Scenario that tracks the reduction of emissions compatible with the Paris Agreement) and of 55% on emission intensity.

Including projects already identified or under way, Eni expects to develop approximately 400 MW of new electricity capacity in the next two years, increasing to 1 GW by 2021 with the investment of €1.2 billion, and up to 5 GW by 2025, especially in countries where it is already present.
