Our activities in Angola

We have been present in Angola since 1980, and today we operate through the joint venture Azule Energy, the largest independent oil and gas producer in the country, with the aim of achieving greater operational efficiency in the exploration sector. With Azule Energy, we are also present in the liquefied natural gas sector and in solar energy production, which also contributes to job creation. Together with Angola we are taking steps towards an fair energy transition. We contribute to guaranteeing the security of energy supplies and we share resources and technologies with the country. We leave the people with a good part of the energy we produce together, thus expanding the access to energy. We contribute to socio-economic development, with diversified initiatives in the fields of medicine, agricultural education, vocational training and entrepreneurship.

How we operate in the country

Working with Azule Energy to accelerate resource development

Through the joint venture created with British Petroleum (BP), activities in the area focus on the development of hydrocarbon resources, with the East Hub & West Hub projects. The Caraculo plant is under construction in the southern-central part of Angola, the first photovoltaic power plant in the country. The project contributes to the reduction of diesel consumption for electricity generation, supporting the diversification of energy in Angola. In terms of environmental benefits, the Caraculo photovoltaic plant will be able to avoid 50 KtCO₂eq of climate-altering emissions per year.

A study is being conducted with the National Oil and Gas Agency (ANPG) and Sonangol on the cultivation of castor beans, on degraded land which is not in competition with the food sector, for the production of biofuels.

We have launched various initiatives for promoting schooling, providing school materials and encouraging pupils to read. We support the project promoted by HALO Trust which trains teams of female miners to clear land of unexploded devices, creating new job opportunities among the female population. We have installed solar systems and implemented sanitary and vaccination campaigns also through Eni Foundation.
