Eni completes sale of 25% interest in Mozambique Area 4 to ExxonMobil

 

San Donato Milanese (Milan), 13 December 2017 – Eni has completed today the sale of a 25 percent indirect interest in the natural gas-rich Area 4 of the Rovuma Basin to ExxonMobil Development Africa B.V. (“ExxonMobil”). The terms of the sale, agreed in March 2017, include a payment of $2.8 billion subject to a contractual adjustment until the date of closing.

 

Eni East Africa, to be renamed Mozambique Rovuma Venture, which owns 70 percent of the Area 4 concession, is now co-owned by Eni (35.7 percent), ExxonMobil (35.7 percent) and CNPC (28.6 percent). The remaining interests in Area 4 are held by Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos E.P. (ENH, 10 percent), Kogas (10 percent) and Galp Energia (10 percent).

 

Eni will continue to lead the Coral South floating LNG project and all upstream operations in Area 4, while ExxonMobil will lead the construction and operation of all future natural gas liquefaction and related facilities. This operating model will enable the use of best practices and capabilities between Eni and ExxonMobil, with each company focusing on distinct and clearly defined scopes while preserving the benefits of fully integrated projects.

 

Final investment decision for the Coral South FLNG Project, the first development of the considerable gas resources discovered by Eni in Area 4, was reached in May 2017, just three years after the drilling of the final exploration well, in a country that is a newcomer to the global gas market.

 

The deepwater Area 4 discoveries contain an estimated 85 trillion cubic feet (2,400 billion cubic meters) of natural gas, which is projected to be the world’s fastest-growing major fuel source, with Mozambique being well positioned to supply LNG customers around the world for the next 40 years and beyond.

Eni: Opl 245, Board of Directors expresses full confidence in the correctness and integrity of both the company’s and chief executive’s actions

 

Eni is fully confident in the judicial process and in its non-involvement in the alleged illegal conducts

 

San Donato Milanese (MI), 20 December 2017 – The Board of Directors of Eni notes the decision made by the preliminary hearing judge at the court of Milan to send the company, its chief executive and a number of managers to trial on a charge of international corruption related to the acquisition, in 2011, of a stake in the OPL 245 licence in Nigeria.

 

Eni’s Board of Directors has reaffirmed its confidence that the company was not involved in alleged corrupt activities in relation to the transaction. The Board’s decision was also taken on the basis of the results of independent advisors’ investigations. The advisors were appointed to examine all relevant resolutions and documents deposited within the closing of the Milan prosecutors’ investigation in 2016.

 

The Board of Directors also confirmed its full confidence that chief executive Claudio Descalzi was not involved in the alleged illegal conduct and, more broadly, in his role as head of the company.

 

Eni expresses its full confidence in the judicial process and that the trial will ascertain and confirm the correctness and integrity of its conduct.
