We have been present in Angola since 1980 and today operate through Azule Energy, a joint venture focused on Upstream activities.
We work to ensure energy access by providing the country with our expertise, resources and technologies. We also support socio-economic development through a range of initiatives spanning the healthcare, education and agricultural sectors, as well as vocational and entrepreneurial training.
With production set to ramp up, gas will be treated at the New Gas Consortium (NGC) plant in Soyo and supplied to Angola LNG for export and domestic consumption: a major milestone for the energy sector.
Activity start date: 1980 - present
Through the joint venture established with British Petroleum (bp), our in-country activities focus on developing hydrocarbon resources via the East Hub and West Hub projects. In particular, the Agogo Integrated West Hub project, a strategic extension of the West Hub within Block 15/06, integrates the producing Agogo and Ndungu fields. Gas supplies from the Quiluma field are also in operation, delivered by the New Gas Consortium (NGC), which is focused on developing the country's first non-associated gas fields and aimed at maximising both Angola's LNG exports and the domestic use of gas for local development. In the central and southern part of Angola, the 25 MW Caraculo plant, the country's first photovoltaic facility, is fully operational: it contributes to reducing diesel consumption for power generation and supports energy diversification.
In Angola we are also developing the production of agri feedstock, vegetable oils obtained from the cultivation of degraded land, used to produce biofuels.
We have launched a number of initiatives to promote schooling, providing educational materials and encouraging pupils to engage with reading. We have installed solar plants and delivered health and vaccination campaigns, also through the Eni Foundation. A Clean Cooking programme, launched to support families living in rural and suburban areas, promotes access to safer and more sustainable cooking solutions.
An overview of the activities that have strengthened our presence in the country since 1980.
Eni announces the start of the first gas delivery from the New Gas Consortium’s (NGC) Quiluma field, offshore Angola.
Eni announces the start-up of the Ndungu full-field, part of the Agogo Integrated West Hub Project (IWH), in block 15/06, offshore Angola.
Eni makes a new oil discovery in the Algaita-01 exploration well in Block 15/06, offshore Angola.
Gas is sourced from the offshore Quiluma and Maboqueiro fields, treated and then supplied to the Angola LNG plant for export and domestic consumption.
The first 25 MW photovoltaic plant has come into operation, while the second is under development.
The independent joint venture brings together Eni and bp’s Angolan businesses and is now Angola’s largest independent oil and gas producer.
The foundation stone is laid for the Caraculo photovoltaic project, developed by Solenova, the joint venture between Eni and Sonangol.
Start-up of the oil field in Block 15/06 takes place just nine months after its discovery.
Eni makes a new oil discovery in the Afoxé exploration prospect in Block 15/06.
Eni started production from the East Hub five months ahead of the development plan, achieving one of the best time-to-market performances in the sector.
The Armada Olombendo floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit will operate in Block 15/06 as part of the East Hub Development Project.
Eni starts production from the West Hub Development Project in Block 15/06 using the N’Goma FPSO vessel.
Ochigufu is the tenth commercial oil discovery made in Block 15/06.
The subsequent mooring and hook-up operations will be a key step towards achieving first oil for the West Hub Development Project.
Eni makes its ninth oil discovery in Block 15/06, increasing the resource base that will be developed in the West Hub project.
The 50/50 joint venture between Eni and BP brings together exploration, liquefied natural gas and renewables activities in Angola.
