We have been in the country since 1968, in the Exploration & Production sector, where we work both offshore and onshore, in Refining & Marketing & Chemicals.
Exploration & Production
Below is the 2020 data on our production in the country.
Our exploration and production in the Congo are governed by a production sharing agreement. Production is from the fields in Nené Marine and Litchendjili (65%), Zatchi (55.25%), Loango (42.5%), Ikalou (100%), Djambala (50%), Foukanda and Mwafi (58%), Kitina (52%), Awa Paloukou (90%), M’Boundi (82%), Kouakouala (74.25%), Zingali and Loufika (100%), fields with an overall production of approximately 93 kboe/d (67 kboe/d net to Eni). OFields not operated, lying in the production permits of Pointe-Noire, Grands Fonds and Likouala (35%) with an overall production of approximately 56 kboe/d (approximately 20 kboe/d).
In 2019 development work was on the producing project Nené Marine in the block Marine XII, in phase 2A. The same year saw drilling and the sealine to the production platform in the field Litchendjili in the block Marine XII finished, as well as the water re-injection project for operated fields in production in Loango and Zatchi, for developing the Nené Marine project, approved in December 2018 and now in phase 2B. Finally, in the same year we started engineering work to increase the 170 MW electrical capacity of Congo power station (20% owned by Eni), by installing a third turbine.
In 2020 production start-up was achieved at the Nené phase 2b project in the Marine XII block (Eni operator with a 65% interest) by means of the linkage to the existing production platform in the area. The full field development phase is expected in the second half of 2022. Development activities concerned the expansion of the CEC power plant (Eni’s interest 20%), increasing the electricity generation capacity to 484 MW. Natural gas supply to the plant will be ensured by the Marine XII block production.
We play an active role in the Oil & Gas sector, though Versalis and its portfolio of oil field chemicals.
We create energy
In the Congo all our gas production is turned into electricity for local consumption. We are continuing to develop Nené Marine and have improved the health of communities, promoted care for biodiversity and provided access to energy. In 2018 we also opened the Musée du Cercle Africain in celebration of local culture and art.
Nené Marine
The field Nené Marine, in the block Marine XII (of which we are an operator with 65%), located about 17 km of the coast and 28 m underwater, is near existing plants and produces hydrocarbons from the pre-salt formation Djeno, 2.5 km below seabed level. The development of Litchendjili Marine, which supplies gas to the domestic market through Congo power station, was followed by the discovery and use of oil in the Nené field.
We help improve living conditions and socio-economic development in villages in the Hinda district, in the same area as the fields M’Boundi, Kouakouala, Zingali and Loufika, where we work. We have provided access to drinking water, improved medical services and primary education. We have also informed and trained the community and increased agricultural production, in part through the CATREP project. In addition to the SDGs mentioned in the cards below, we also contribute to the achievement of goals 3,4,6,7.
The project, carried out by the Eni Foundation and finished in 2012, sought to reduce the level of HIV contagion from mother to child by 2–3%, through prevention services for pregnant Congolese women, ranging from consultation to free, voluntary screening. The initiative took place in the regions of Kouilou, Niari and Cuvette, which were also involved in the Salissa Mwana project.
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Salissa Mwana
The project by the Eni Foundation provided paediatric assistance in the regions of Kouilou, Niari e Cuvette, with vaccination programmes against the most common diseases. At the end of the programme, in 2012, we equipped and strengthened no less than 30 medical centres, trained medical staff and informed local people about prevention.
We are committed to protecting the environment by following the most highly respected international guidelines and adopting a conscientious policy. Chapter 6 of our longform is dedicated to the Congo, Myanmar and Nigeria.
In October 2020 we launched with Eni Congo, on the occasion of the start of the school year, an awareness campaign for Covid-19 prevention in the schools involved in the Integrated Project of the Hinda District. The campaign, that will take place in the 11 primary schools and 6 kindergartens built and/or restored by Eni Congo, aims to promote containment measures for Covid-19 and will provide specific training to teachers, dispense face masks to pupils and teachers, and supply hand washing equipment as well as cleaning supplies for the hygiene and sanitation of indoor spaces. The schools involved in the campaign have over 3,400 pupils between 3 and 12 years of age. The awareness campaign meets the Sustainable Development Goals 3 (access to health) and 4 (quality education) and will also include 11 health centres, the CATREP agricultural training centre and the water wells management committees. Moreover, with Eni Congo provided the Departmental Directorate of Health of Kouilou with an ambulance for logistic support and for transfer of suspected Covid-19 cases to Pointe-Noire hospitals. This initiative is one among several already carried out or planned by Eni Congo in partnership with the Ministry of Health and People, and within the Association of Oil Operators of Congo (AOPC), in order to support citizens in the complex situation of the current coronavirus pandemic. Among these initiatives are included the renovation of reception facilities for Covid-19 patients in the Madeleine Mouissou centre and the Adolphe Sicé hospital, now equipped with respirator, and the awareness campaigns and supply of healthcare devices to the population. In addition, in order to improve prevention and health protection of employees and their families, Eni Congo has set up a dedicated unit for screenings and diagnostic tests for Covid-19 in its medical and social centre.
