Eni to buy Heritages 50% interest in blocks 1 and 3A in Uganda
San Donato Milanese (Milan), November 23,
2009 - Eni and Heritage have reached an agreement with
respect to the assignment of the 50% interest which Heritage
holds in blocks 1 and 3A in Uganda for a total amount of 1.35
billion US dollars. An additional consideration of US$150
million, in cash or assets, is also foreseen provided certain
conditions are met in the future. The agreement also envisages
the transfer of the operatorship in the two blocks to Eni.
Blocks 1 and 3A, which are located in the Lake Albert basin, one
of the most important African sedimentary basins, have resources
for more than 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent, of which
approximately 700 million have already been discovered from about
28 wells drilled in the area.
The development of these resources will require great synergy
with Uganda's infrastructure programs, in respect of which Eni
intends to play a leading role in partnership with the
Authorities.
The transaction is part of Enis growth strategy in the
African continent and in the Sub-Saharan region in particular,
where the company is committed to pursuing an approach of
sustainable development through its staff, expertise and
technologies.
Eni considers Uganda, which has achieved economic growth through
effective policies, an ideal partner for the development of
cooperation programs aimed at sustaining the regions
social, economic, and industrial development.

The agreement is subject to finalization of a full sale and purchase agreement, approval by the competent authorities and other customary conditions. Eni has been present in the Sub-Saharan region since the 1960s, and is currently also an operator in the main oil-producing countries of Angola, Nigeria, Republic of Congo, Gabon and Mozambique. Enis production in the region amounts to about 450,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

Eni awarded coal bed methane license in Indonesia
San Donato Milanese (Milan), November 30,
2009 - Eni, through its joint venture affiliate VICO CBM
Limited, has today been awarded a 37.8% stake in Sanga Sanga, a
new coal-bed methane (CBM) production sharing contract (PSC), in
Indonesia. Enis partners are the british company BP
(37.8%), Opicoil (20%), a Houston based subsidiary of Taiwan's
CPC, and Universe Gas and Oil (4.4%), a Japanese consortium
including Japex and the Osaka Gas Group.
Sanga Sanga, located in the gas rich Kutei Basin of East
Kalimantan, is Enis first major coal-bed methane project
and it will be operated by the joint venture VICO (Eni 50%, BP
50%). Preliminary study in the block shows resources potential of
about 4 trillion cubic feet (111 billion cubic meters) of gas to
be better defined through an appraisal program that will commence
in 2010.
The Sanga Sanga CBM PSC, which will be connected to the Bontang
LNG, has the potential to become the first "CBM to LNG"
integrated project, enabling rapid gas commercialization.
This success confirms Eni as one of the major oil companies
exploring in Indonesia and an important player in developing the
CBM business. Indonesia has estimated CBM resources of 453
trillion cubic feet of gas in place, which are amongst the
largest in the world, after the United States and China.
