San Donato Milanese (Milan), 26 October 2026 - Eni announces that it has completed the sale of its subsidiary Agip Energy and Natural Resources (Nigeria) Limited (“AENR”) to Apex Global Energy Limited (“APEX”), a company wholly owned by Sterling Oil Exploration and Energy Production Company Ltd (“Sterling”), one of Nigeria’s leading operators in the onshore sector.
AENR, a wholly owned subsidiary of Eni, is engaged in onshore and shallow water hydrocarbon exploration and production in Nigeria, holding a 5% share in the Renaissance JV (Renaissance 30%, operator; TotalEnergies 10%; and Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited “NNPC” 55%).
The transaction, which has received approval from all relevant authorities, is in line with Eni’s strategy to optimize its upstream activities by rebalancing the portfolio and divesting non-strategic assets.
