Logistics

Eni is leader in storage and transport of petroleum products in Italy with its logistical integrated infrastructure consisting of 21 directly managed storage sites and a network of petroleum product  pipelines for the sale and storage of refined products, LPG and crude.
Eni holds interests in five joint entities established by partnering the major Italian operators. These are located in Vado Ligure-Genova (Petrolig), Arquata Scrivia (Sigemi), Venice (Petroven), Ravenna (Petra) and Trieste (DCT) and aim at reducing logistic costs, and increasing efficiency.
Eni operates in the transport of oil and refined products:

• on land through a pipeline network of leased and owned pipelines extending over 3,019 kilometers (1,447 kilometers are owned by Eni);
• by sea through spot and long-term lease contracts of tanker ships. Secondary distribution to retail and wholesale markets is effected through third parties who also own their means of transportation, in some instances with minority partecipation of Eni.
  In 2008 Eni implemented a new hub model made up of five main areas in Italy and including all Eni logistic assets among which refining ones. This new model aims to enhance the efficiency of logistic operations by;
• centralizing the handling of products flows on a single platform enabling real time monitoring;
• introducing more efficient operating modes in the collection and delivery of orders with the aim of reducing unit delivery costs.
  In addition, through Galp, Eni owns 6 storage sites in the Iberian Peninsula and a 5% interest in CLH, a Spanish logistics system.
