Eni upstream activities are carried out in the conventional and deep offshore area opposite Pointe-Noire and in the onshore Koilou area. As regards exploration, we operate in the offshore 1 Marine VI BIS block (Eni 65%). Production is supplied by 18 blocks, of which 12 operated (10 offshore and 2 onshore). The Nené-Banga field in the Marine XII block started up in 2022. In April 2022 we defined a framework agreement with the aim of increasing natural gas export flows to Europe. In September 2022, the President Denis Sassou Nguesso and the Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi agreed to enhancing and commercialising the Country’s gas resources with the aim of exporting about 1 billion cubic metres of gas in winter 2023-2024 and up to 4.5 billion per year starting from winter 2024-2025. More specifically, the increase in the production of gas in the country will also leverage a two-phase project involving the installation of two Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) plants that will enable the country to start producing 0.6 million tonnes per year of LNG in 2023 and increase the total LNG production capacity from the Marine XII block to 3 million tonnes per year by 2025.

More about the projectThe Integrated Energy Access Project in Congo
We developed a large-scale energy access model in the country and we launched an integrated project that allowed us to build the power plants Centrale Électrique du Djéno (CED) and Centrale Électrique du Congo (CEC), upgraded the energy transport infrastructure between Pointe-Noire and Brazzaville, and extended the electricity distribution network in the city of Pointe-Noire.
