Angola is one of the African countries in which we are investing more energy, including by improving the infrastructure here, where we work in the E&P and in the chemicals sector.
Exploration & Production
Below is the 2019 data on our production in the country.
Our work in Angola is concentrated in conventional and deep offshore, with a total developed and undeveloped area of 21,441 square kilometres. Our main asset in the country is Block 15/06 (Eni 36.84%, operator) with the West Hub and East Hub projects, where over four years we have started eight fields, four of which in 2018 alone.
Our exploration and production activities are governed by concession contracts and Production Sharing Agreements (PSA). Other production blocks in which Eni has a stake are Block 0 (Eni 9.8%) in Cabinda, north of the Angolan coast, the Development Areas in Block 3 and 3/05-A (Eni 12%) in the country's offshore area, the Development Areas in Block 14 (Eni 20%) in the deep offshore area west of Block 0, the Lianzi Development Area in Block 14K/A IMI (Eni 10%) and the Development Area in Block 15 (Eni 20%) in the deep offshore. We are also working hard to support the socio-economic development of the country.
We hold a 13.6% interest of the Angola LNG (A-LNG) which run the plant, located in Soyo, with treatment capacity of approximately 353 bcf/year of feed gas and a liquefaction capacity of 5.2 mmtonnes/y of LNG. In October 2019 Eni, as operator of a new joint venture (Eni’s interest 25.6%), signed a commercial agreement with the partners of the A-LNG for the development of the gas fields to support the liquefaction plant.
In April 2021 we made a new light oil discovery in Block 15/06, in Angola’s deep offshore. The well has been drilled on the Cuica exploration prospect located inside the Cabaça Development Area and close to the Armada Olombendo FPSO (East Hub). The discovery is based on the ILX_Infrastructure-led exploration strategy, which pursue exploration opportunities in proximity of existing infrastructures.
In April 2021 the President of the Republic of Angola João Gonçalves Lourenço and the CEO of Eni Claudio Descalzi met in Luanda to review the progress of Eni’s activities in the country and to discuss new areas of cooperation. We presented the recent successes of Eni’s exploration strategy in Angola, as well as the progress of renewable and downstream initiatives. Through Solenova JV (Sonangol 50%, Eni 50%) we completed front end activities for phase one of Caraculo photovoltaic plant, with expected start-up in 2022.
As for downstream, we renewed our commitment onthe Luanda Refinery where the operational efficiency of the asset has improved significantly in the last three years. Over 100 Angolan technicians have been involved on specific training programs in Italy and Angola, and the project to increase gasoline production capacity, allowing the country to reduce its reliance on import of finished products, is under construction with start-up expected in 2022.
Through the New Gas Consortium we will develop and monetize non-associatedgas fields, enhancing Angola’s ability to produce LNG and availability of domestic gas for the country’s industrial development. Furthermore, the progress of our local development initiatives was discussed, which focus on agricultural development, access to water, energy, education and health, as well as demining initiatives, access to land and diversity and inclusion.
In 2018, Eni Angola commissioned the Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR), an independent body funded by the Danish state, to conduct a Human Rights Assessment (HRA) in relation to the exploration activity in the Cabinda Nord block. The report from the assessment includes the main observations and recommendations that emerged from the study, along with interviews from representatives from Eni Angola and external stakeholders. The document identified several focus points, including security management, respect for human rights in the workplace and in trade relations.
In June 2020 we published an update of Eni for Human Rights, the company’s report that provides information on its commitment to the respect for human rights, showing a strengthening of its internal procedures on this fundamental matter. The report builds on the work undertaken by Eni over the past 6 years in the countries in which we operate.
Claudio Descalzi, CEO of ENI, highlights the role of senior business leaders in promoting respect for human rights in concrete ways and by leading by example.
In Angola we are developing our "East Hub" and "West Hub" Upstream projects and numerous initiatives on access to water resources and health promotion in local communities. We aim to improve energy efficiency in our work, but also to have a positive impact on places.
Innovation at East and West Hub
The East Hub and West Hub projects have allowed us to deliver some of our most important successes in exploration and production, thanks to major investments in technology and close cooperation with the host country.
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all
Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity loss
Revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development
The social project facilitates access to water
We aim to improve the living conditions of local communities. That's why, starting in September 2017, we’ve installed eight 5 KW solar power plants in schools and medical centres, as well as drilling eight water wells and launching health and vaccination campaigns. We have also created 16 agricultural cooperatives and trained 400 farmers.
Clean Water and Sanitation: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
Promoting schooling
Since 2016, we have launched three education initiatives in the provinces of Luanda, Huila, Namibe and Cabinda. The objectives include increasing students' reading ability, improving living conditions in the school communities by installing health and water systems, and renovating the Beira Nova school in Cabinda.
Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
Kilamba Kiaxi and promoting health
2 million inhabitants in the community
Kilamba Kiaxi is one of the nine municipalities of the city of Luanda, the capital of Angola. It was here between 2009 and 2012 that we set out to reduce the rate of preventable diseases and those due to malnourishment by bringing in better health services.
In the province of Huila, just as in other provinces in Angola, the majority of primary schools in rural areas are staffed by teachers who lack any specific teacher training. At the end of 2019, we launched an initiative aimed at addressing this very need by delivering professional development content for over 550 teachers working in rural primary schools and 11 trainers. We contributed to improving the quality of primary education through a series of forty educational sessions, combined with hours’ worth of content designed to raise awareness of and prevent Covid-19 and the provision of equipment and school supplies. Over the course of the sessions, participants learned how to prepare lessons and organise simple tests with the children to check their learning progress and were trained in how to organise a large class while at the same time ensuring that each child received the attention they required.
FOCUS
Exploring Angola
The world of energy is constantly evolving, including in Angola, which gained independence from Portugal in 1974.
Our work is focused on Upstream, combined with sustainable development projects in the country.
