Nené Marine, in the block Marine XII, of which we are a producer with 65%, produces hydrocarbons from the pre-salt formation Djeno, 28 m under water, near existing plants. We began producing in the offshore field in 2014, eight months after getting the production permit and 16 months after discovering it through exploration. The complete development of the field is through various phases and involves installing a production and drilling platform with over 20 wells, with a ceiling of 50,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day. In 2019, phase 2A operations for the Nené Marine project began, with 12 new wells linked to two platforms going into production, making a total of 15 wells. The year also saw phase 2B for Nené approved. We also began building a new platform, which will be installed, alongside new undersea pipework. Drilling of the first well in phase 2B has already begun, in preparation for the early production launch, and we are making the most of synergies with existing facilities. We also completed installation of the third turbine, which will increase electrical generation capacity at Congo power station (20% of which is owned by Eni) by 170 MW. The extra gas will be produced in the block.

Where we develop the project
At the link you can explore the country and discover the work we do there and other projects we're involved in.

Phase 2A of the project completed
September: last well begins producing. Production goes beyond 30,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
April: first installation of our Inline Phase Splitter (IPS) technology.

Production at Litchendjili
Underwater pipework completed, meaning production at the Nené field can be sent to the onshore plant in Litchendjili.

First phase 2A well in production
The second platform in phase 2A is completed and the first well linked to the platform goes into production.

2A platform installed
The first platform in phase 2A is installed 12 months after approval. New wells are drilled and production is ramped up in the Nené field.

Production under way in Nené
Thanks to the undersea pipework, production has begun in the field. We rounded off recovery work in the well by tapping it safely.
