We have been present in Angola since 1980, and today we operate through the joint venture Azule Energy, the country's largest independent hydrocarbon producer, with the aim of achieving greater operational efficiency in exploration, development and production. With Azule Energy, we are also present in the liquefied natural gas sector and in solar energy production, which also contributes to job creation. The New Gas Consortium gas treatment plant in Soyo is the country’s first non-associated gas development and helps position Angola as a strategic player in the global natural gas market.
Together with Angola we are taking steps towards an fair energy transition. We contribute to guaranteeing the security of energy supplies and we share resources and technologies with the country. We leave the people with a good part of the energy we produce together, thus expanding the access to energy. We contribute to socio-economic development, with diversified initiatives in the fields of medicine, agricultural education, vocational training and entrepreneurship.
With production set to ramp up, gas will be treated at the New Gas Consortium (NGC) plant in Soyo and supplied to Angola LNG for export and domestic consumption: a major milestone for the energy sector.
Activity start date: 1980 - present
Through the joint venture created with British Petroleum (BP), activities in the area focus on the development of hydrocarbon resources, with the East Hub & West Hub projects. In particular, the Agogo Integrated West Hub project, a strategic extension of the West Hub in Block 15/06, integrates the Agogo and Ndungu fields currently in production. Gas delivery from the Quiluma field by the New Gas Consortium (NGC) is also active. Gas will be treated at the NGC gas treatment plant in Soyo (a strategic infrastructure to leverage local resources) and supplied to the Angola LNG plant for export and domestic consumption. In central and southern Angola, the 25 MW Caraculo plant, the country’s first photovoltaic plant, is operational. The project contributes to reducing diesel consumption for power generation and supports energy energy diversification in Angola. IIn terms of environmental benefits, the plant will be able to avoid 50 KtCO2eq of climate-changing emissions per year.
In Angola we are also developing the production of agri-feedstock, vegetable oils obtained from the cultivation of degraded land, used to produce biofuels.
We have launched various initiatives for promoting schooling, providing school materials and encouraging pupils to read. We have installed solar systems and implemented sanitary and vaccination campaigns also through Eni Foundation. A Clean Cooking programme launched to support families living in rural and suburban areas provides access to safer and more sustainable cooking solutions.
An overview of the activities that have strengthened our presence in the country since 1980.
Eni announces the start of the first gas delivery from the New Gas Consortium’s (NGC) Quiluma field, offshore Angola.
Eni announces the start-up of the Ndungu full-field, part of the Agogo Integrated West Hub Project (IWH), in block 15/06, offshore Angola.
Eni makes a new oil discovery in the Algaita-01 exploration well in Block 15/06, offshore Angola.
Gas is sourced from the offshore Quiluma and Maboqueiro fields, treated and then supplied to the Angola LNG plant for export and domestic consumption.
The first 25 MW photovoltaic plant has come into operation, while the second is under development.
The independent joint venture brings together Eni and bp’s Angolan businesses and is now Angola’s largest independent oil and gas producer.
The foundation stone is laid for the Caraculo photovoltaic project, developed by Solenova, the joint venture between Eni and Sonangol.
Start-up of the oil field in Block 15/06 takes place just nine months after its discovery.
Eni makes a new oil discovery in the Afoxé exploration prospect in Block 15/06.
Eni started production from the East Hub five months ahead of the development plan, achieving one of the best time-to-market performances in the sector.
The Armada Olombendo floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit will operate in Block 15/06 as part of the East Hub Development Project.
Eni starts production from the West Hub Development Project in Block 15/06 using the N’Goma FPSO vessel.
Ochigufu is the tenth commercial oil discovery made in Block 15/06.
The subsequent mooring and hook-up operations will be a key step towards achieving first oil for the West Hub Development Project.
Eni makes its ninth oil discovery in Block 15/06, increasing the resource base that will be developed in the West Hub project.
The 50/50 joint venture between Eni and BP brings together exploration, liquefied natural gas and renewables activities in Angola.
