Daily hydrocarbon productionpeaked at 1,369,000 boe,representing a 15.3% increaseresulting from the contributionof the acquisition of Lasmoand internal growth,which offset in part the decreaserelated to declines. In April 2002 daily productionamounted to 1,462,000 boe. The 15.3% increase launchesEni towards the dailyproduction target of 1.7 millionboe set for 2005 which Eni canattain by developing assets inits portfolio

In Kazakhstan in February 2001,Eni was named single operator ofthe North Caspian Sea project inthe Kazakh offshore (Eni’sinterest 14.28%). This projectrepresents an extremely importantindustrial feat in the oil industry.Following the discovery made inJuly 2000, in 2001 two otherwells were drilled whichconfirmed the area’s high mineralpotential. By the end of 2001, athird well – the second appraisalwell – was under way

Eni completed the process ofintegration of Lasmo, thus reachinga benefit estimated at about euro100 million on an annual basis,25% more than expected at thetime of the acquisition. Lasmo’sdaily production in 2001 (201,000boe) increased by 6% over 2000and is expected to reach 260,000boe in 2003

In Block 15 (Eni’s share 20%),located offshore Angola theKizomba A project started for thedevelopment of the Hungo andChocalho fields with recoverablereserves amounting toapproximately one billion barrelsof oil. This is the most importantproject in the West Africanoffshore. Expected expenditureamounts to about dollar 3.2billion. Production is expected tostart in late 2004 peaking at250,000 barrels/day in 2005

In Iran, Eni signed agreementswith the national company NIOCfor the development of the twoDarquain oil fields (Eni isoperator with a 60% interest) onthe coast of the Persian Gulf andof the Balal oil field (Eni’sinterest 38.25%) in the PersianGulf offshore. Production isexpected to start in 2003 in thefirst field and late 2002 in thesecond

In Nigeria authorization wasgranted for the construction of a450-megawatt power plant firedwith associated natural gas. Theplant (Eni’s interest 20%) will belocated in the area of the NigerDelta and entails a totalexpenditure of dollar 312 million

In Russia Eni signed anagreement withAstrakhannefteprom for theacquisition of 50% of the SeveroAstrakhansky license in a highly

promising area at the mouth ofthe river in the Astrakhan region.Eni will act as operator

In Norway Eni obtained anexploration license (Eni’s interest30%) for the exploration of Block35/1, located in the North VikingGraben in the North Sea

In 2001 production started inimportant hydrocarbon fields:Elgin/Franklin in the UnitedKingdom (Eni’s interest 21.86%),Foukanda/Mwafi offshore Congo(Eni is operator with a 65%interest), Okono offshore Nigeria(Eni is operator with a 100%interest), Kuito-phase 3 (Eni’sinterest 20%) and Nemba Nord(Eni’s interest 9.8%) bothoffshore Angola, and Val d’Agri-phase 2 (Eni is operator with a71% interest) in Italy

Exploration activities producedexcellent results: Eni made newdiscoveries in the Gulf of Mexico(Yosemite - natural gas - Eni’sinterest 50%; Trident - oil - Eni’sinterest 8.5%), in Pakistan(Rehmat - gas - Eni’s share38%), Angolan deep offshore(Tombua-1 - oil in Block 14 -Eni’s interest 20%; Mavacola 1and Marimba 2 in Block 15 -Eni’s interest 20%), Nigerianoffshore (Bonga SW1 - Eni’sinterest 12.5%), in Australia(Blacktip-1 - gas - Eni’s interest30%), in Norway in the BarentsSea (in the Goliath oil field -

In 2001, Eni’shydrocarbon productionin Italy totaled 308,000

boe/day and represented 22% ofEni’s total production. Eni’sexploration and developmentinterests in Italy are concentratedin the Po Valley, the Adriatic Sea,the Southern Apennines and Sicily.In 2001, natural gas productiontotaled 239,000 boe/day andrepresented approximately 78% ofEni’s hydrocarbon production inItaly. Eni’s principal natural gasfields are located in the Adriatic

Sea (Barbara, Angela/Angelina,Porto Garibaldi, Agostino andCervia/Arianna, Clara Complex andBonaccia which collectivelyaccounted for 49% of Eni’s naturalgas production in Italy) and in theIonian Sea (Luna, which accountedfor 9%). In 2001 theNaomi/Pandora, Emilio, Camillaand Porto Corsini Mare Sud gasfields in the Adriatic offshorestarted production with an output ofapproximately 8,000 boe/day.In 2001, Eni’s production of oil inItaly totaled 69,000 barrels per

day. Eni’s two major fields,Villafortuna in the Po Valley andAquila in Puglia offshorerepresented 50% of Eni’s totalproduction in Italy (60% in 2000).The Val d’Agri fields increasedtheir share of production from 11%in 2000 to 17.5% in 2001.In December 2001 daily productionfrom Val d’Agri peaked at 45,000barrels due to the entry into serviceof the Monte Alpi pipeline whichcarries oil from the Viggiano oilcenter to Eni’s Taranto refinery.Other relevant fields are Rospo inthe Adriatic Sea, Vega offshoreSicily, Gela and Ragusa in Sicily.In March 2002, Eni entered anagreement for the sale of the 25%interest held in the Gorgoglioneconcession in Basilicata, where theTempa Rossa field is located,subject to approval from relevantauthorities. The achievement of full productionof the Val d’Agri fields will offsetdeclines of mature fields and willenable Eni to increase its dailyhydrocarbon production in Italyfrom the present 308,000 boe levelto a peak of 330,000 boe in 2003.

Eni has been present inAlgeria since 1981; its

principal oil producing fields arelocated in the Bir Rebaa area.Oilfields operated by Eniaccounted for approximately 6% ofAlgeria’s annual production in

N O R T H A F R I C A

2001. In 2001 oil productionstarted at the HBN field where Eniincreased its share from 25.5% to34.63% after the acquisition ofLasmo, producing 16,000barrels/day net to Eni.The achievement of full productionat the HBN field, the expected

startup in 2003 of production fromthe ROD field and the developmentof Lasmo fields acquired in 2001 (inparticular the second developmentphase of HBNS and its satellitefields) will generate an increase indaily oil production from the presentlevel of 35,000 barrels/day to over80,000 by 2004.

Eni has been present inEgypt since 1954 and is

the leading international operator.In 2001, Egypt’s total annualhydrocarbon production peaked at418,000 boe/day (180,000 boe netto Eni); fields operated by Eniaccounted for 33% of this amount.Oil and condensate productionaccounts for over 50% of Eni’sproducing activities and comesmainly from the Belayim andAshrafi fields in the Gulf of Suezand from the Melehia field locatedin the Western Desert.Eni’s principal natural gas producinginterests are concentrated in the NileDelta, onshore the El Qar’a and AbuMadi fields and offshore, the ElTemsah, Port Fouad (former North PortSaid), Ras El Barr and Baltim fields.In 2001, natural gas daily productionamounted to 83,000 boe (net to Eni)and production started at the TemsahNW field in the Temsah concession(Eni’s share 25%). Daily productionfrom this field is expected to reachover 62,000 boe of natural gas(20,000 net to Eni) and about 20,000barrels of condensates (7,000 net toEni) in 2002.

Eni started operations inLibya in 1959 and is the

leading international operator, withoil fields operated by Eniaccounting for approximately 14%of Libya’s annual oil production.Eni’s principal producing interestsare located in two areas: onshore inthe Bu-Attifel field, where Eni isoperator with a 50% interest, andoffshore in the Bouri field, whereEni is operator with a 30% interest. In the second half of 2003 thestartup of the Elephant oil field inthe NC-174 permit is expected. Eni

expected from the Wafa field at aninitial level of 39,000 boe/day. In2005 the first production is expectedfrom Structure C of permit NC-41.These initiatives will lead to anincrease in daily hydrocarbonproduction from the present level of87,000 boe to approximately200,000 boe in 2005.

Eni has been present inTunisia since 1961; its

main producing interests are in theEl Borma oil field and in the oil andgas Hammouda and Oued Zar fields.In 2001 the development of thenatural gas project at Oued Zar (Eni’sinterest 50%) was completed with aproduction of 3,000 boe/day, doublinggas production of the field (1,500 netto Eni). In the next four yearshydrocarbon production in Tunisia isexpected to decline slightly from thepresent level of 15,000 boe/day.

Eni has been present inAngola since 1980. Eni’s

main oil producing interests arelocated offshore in Blocks 14, 1, 3and 0 with 20, 50, 15 and 9.8%share respectively. In Block 14 inlate 2001 the third developmentphase of the Kuito field started andthis will allow an increase inproduction from the present 60,000barrels/day to a peak of 95,000barrels/day by the second half of2002 (12,000 and 16,000respectively net to Eni). In Block14 exploration confirmed the size ofthe Landana field and appraisal isongoing for the full definition of thepotential of the recently discoveredBenguela, Belize, Tomboco, Lobitoand Tombua fields. In area B ofBlock 0 in the fourth quarter of2001 production started at theNemba Nord platform, whichincreased daily production from42,000 to 45,000 barrels net to Eni.Eni participates with a 20%interest in Block 15 withrecoverable reserves1 amounting toapproximately 2.7 billion barrels ofoil, in this area in 2001development of the Kizomba Aproject started. This is the mostimportant project in West Africaand aims at starting production atthe Hungo and Chocalho, fields,

W E S T A F R I C A

which hold recoverable reserves ofabout one billion barrels.Production is expected to start inlate 2004 and to peak in 2005 at250,000 barrels/day (43,000 net toEni). The increase in production at Kuitoand development of the Benguela-Belize field in Block 14 and of theKizomba A project in Block 15 will

double the present production levelof 64,000 barrels/day by 2005.

in 2001. Eni’s principal oilproducing interests in Congo are theKitina, Foukanda and Mwafi fields,where it acts as operator, andLoango, Zatchi and the Pointe NoireGrand Fond fields. In July 2001,

production started at the Foukandaand Mwafi fields (Eni’s interest65%) only three years from theirdiscovery (March 1998) and reacheda level of 6,000 barrels/day, in2001, while a peak of 17,000

barrels/day is expected in 2003. Production growth in these fieldswill allow Eni to increase daily oilproduction from the present level of69,000 barrels to a peak of 80,000barrels in 2003.

G A B O N

Eni has operated inGabon since 1981; its

only producing interest is theLimande oil field (80% interest)located off the southern coast of thecountry; its production is expectedto remain at about 2,000 barrels/dayin the next four years.

N I G E R I A

Eni has been present inNigeria since 1962. The

fields operated by Eni accountedfor approximately 8% of Nigeria’soil production in 2001. Eni’sprincipal producing interests inNigeria are in four onshore Blocks(OML 60, 61, 62 and 63) in theNiger Delta, where it acts asoperator with a 20% interest, andin the offshore OML 116 block(former OPL 472 Agbara) and OML119 (former OPL 91), where itparticipates through servicecontracts. In December 2001production started at the Okonofield in this block and in 2003production will start in the Okpohofield; in 2005 production at the twofields is expected to reach a peakof 16,000 barrels/day, net to Eni.Eni signed a PSA for the explorationof offshore Block 244, where Eni isoperator with a 90% interest.

provide for a seismic campaign andthe drilling of two exploration wells.Eni’s activities in Nigeria include a5% interest in NASE, the largest oiljoint venture in the country relatingto hydrocarbon production from 43onshore blocks; through NASE Enialso holds a 12.86% interest in fiveoffshore blocks. Eni holds a 10.4%share in the Nigeria LNG Companya consortium managing the Bonnyliquefaction plant for the treatmentand export of liquefied natural gas.

The plant is currently beingupgraded with the construction of athird treatment train which willincrease total capacity from 7.6 to11.4 billion cubic meters/year ofLNG by 2003. With the assignment,in March 2002, of the contracts forthe fourth and fifth treatment trains,the plant will increase its overallproduction capacity up to 21.8billion cubic meters per year ofLNG. Work will be completed bythe end of 2005 and with this

initiative Eni’s quota of the total gasreserves committed to theliquefaction plant amounts to 44billion cubic meters.The startup of the deep offshoreBonga and Abo fields and of theEA, Yokri and Cawthorne Channelprojects as well as the increase inliquefied natural gas volumestreated at Bonny’s plant will lead toan increase in Eni’s production fromthe present level of 98,000 boe/dayto over 160,000 boe/day by 2005.

Eni has been present inthe United Kingdom since

1964. Eni’s principal producinginterests in the United Kingdom arelocated in the B-Block (averageinterest 60%) and in the T-Block(which contains the Thelma, Tiffanyand Tony fields), where Eniincreased its interest from 47.48% to77.48% after a purchase. In theseEni is operator, while other importantfields are the J-Block (33%), Hewett(27.35%), Ninian (12.94%), Magnus(5%) and Thames (23.3%), alongwith Lasmo fields such as McCulloch(40%), Andrew (16.21%), Hamilton(45%), Lennox (45%), Douglas (45%)and Cook (20%). In 2001, productionfrom the T-Block and the J-Blockaccounted for 9 and 8% of Eni’s totalhydrocarbon production in theUnited Kingdom, respectively. In

2001 production of oil and gasstarted at the Elgin and Franklinfields at a yearly level of 14,000boe/day net to Eni. Eni’s assetportfolio is undergoing arationalization process whichprovides for the sale of marginalassets. In March 2002 Eni sold a

12.4% interest in the Banff oil field,a 19.5% interest in the Hudson oilfield and a 19% interest in the Otteroil field, a 9.3% interest in thePickerill gas field as well asassociated interests in the BrentPipeline System and Sullom VoeTerminal and exploration licenses.

Production increases at Elgin andFranklin and at Lasmo fields willlead to an increase in hydrocarbonproduction from the present level of202,000 to a peak of over 210,000boe/day in 2003.

N E T H E R L A N D S

Eni, present in theNetherlands due to the

acquisition of Lasmo, is operator witha 37.53% interest in the Markhamnatural gas field which in 2001produced 2,000 boe/day.

C H I N A

Eni has been present inChina since 1983; it holds

a 16.3% interest in the CACTConsortium, the largest oil producerin the Chinese offshore, whichproduced 89,000 barrels/day in 2001(12,000 net to Eni). The developmentof fields recently discovered in theconsortium area will offset thedecline of mature fields keeping dailyproduction at the present level in thenext four years.

C R O A T I A

After the first platform,called Ivana A, in the

Adriatic offshore started natural gasproduction in 1999, Eni and Ina, theState-owned Croatian company, in2000 and 2001 started its satelliteplatforms, Ivana B, D and E,doubling production. The field islocated at a water depth of

approximately 43 meters, 40kilometers west of Pola. Productionnet to Eni is expected to increasefrom the present level of 4,000boe/day to 12,000 boe/day by 2005,through the contribution of the Ika,Ida, Annamaria and Marica fieldspresently undergoing development.

E C U A D O R

The Villano oil field,operated by Eni with a

100% interest is Eni’s first oilproducing field in Latin America.In 2001, this field produced 35,000barrels/day (25,000 net to Eni).This production level is expected toremain stable in the next four years.Construction of OCP pipeline (Eniinterest 7.51%) is underway. Thisnew pipeline and the existent SOTEpipeline will ensure transportcapacity necessary to meet fieldproduction requirements.

Other naturalgas fields are under development:Bhit (Eni is operator with a 40%interest), Zamzama (Eni’s interest17.75%), Sawan (Eni’s interest23.7%) and Miano (Eni’s interest15.16%). Daily production ofnatural gas is expected to increasein the next four years from thepresent level of 2,000 boe to over30,000 boe in 2005.

L A S M OIn 2001, Eni acquired the Britishcompany Lasmo Plc through a PublicOffering in cash. Total expenditure forthe acquisition of 100% of Lasmo’sshare capital amounted to euro 5,353million (including net borrowings ofabout euro 970 million). Lasmo’s main assets are located inthe British section of the North Sea,in North Africa, Indonesia, Venezuelaand Pakistan. With this operation Enialso strengthens its position in keyareas in the North Sea and NorthAfrica, establishing a significantpresence in the Asian market whileexpanding its activities as operator inVenezuela. In 2001 Lasmo’s dailyproduction amounted to 201,000 boeand is expected to reach 260,000 boeby 2003. Recoverable reserves

acquired amount to 2,080 millionboe. Eni’s integration with Lasmo’soperating structure has been

completed with a benefit estimated atabout euro 100 million on an annualbasis.

Starting from the excellentcompetence achieved in past years,Eni developed a comprehensiveplan for deep water exploration invarious areas in the world. Inparticular Eni is performingexploration activities in thefollowing areas.

G U L F O F G U I N E A

Eni acquired mineral rights inseveral countries. The relativeproximity of explored areas toexisting transmission infrastructure,combined with the use oftechnologically advancedequipment, will allow Eni toproduce at competitive cost levels.Exploration continues to yieldpositive results in Angola wherethree new discoveries were made:one in Block 14 (Tombua-1) and twoin Block 15 (Mavacola 1 andMarimba 2). In Congo Eni ownssignificant interests in two deepwater exploration blocks, MerProfonde Nord, where Eni isoperator with a 100% interest, andMer Très Profonde Sud (Eni’sinterest 30%). In Gabon Eni isoperator with a 50% share in threeoffshore permits (Mpolo, Chaillu andMeboun). In Nigeria Eni is operatorin three blocks OPL 244 (Eni’sinterest 90%) and OPL 211 andOPL 316 (Eni’s interest in both is50.2%), in the latter the Abo oil

field is in the development phase.In addition Eni holds a 12.5%interest in two deep water blocks,OPL 219 and OPL 212. In the firstone an oil discovery was made withwell Bolia IX; in the second blockthe Bonga oil well is in thedevelopment phase, while the BongaSW oil field was discovered.

M A U R I T A N I A

Eni holds a 35% interest in thearea covered by A and B PSAs(Blocks 3, 4 and 5) in the deepoffshore of Mauritania at a waterdepth from 200 to 2,600 meters,where hydrocarbons were foundwith the Chinguetti-1 well.

G U L F O F M E X I C O

In the deep offshore of the Gulf ofMexico discoveries were made inthe Green Canyon 516 Block (Eni’sinterest 50%) with the Yosemite gaswell and in the Alaminos Canyon903 Block (Eni’s interest 8.5%)with the Trident oil well, drilled ata water depth of 2,953 meters,which represents a new worldrecord in drilling. A furtherappraisal well confirmed the highpotential of this area. In theChamplain structure in the AtwaterValley 63 Block a delimitation wellwas drilled which confirmed thehigh potential of the fielddiscovered in 2000. Eni increasedfrom 25 to 50% its interest in thisBlock.

B R A Z I L

Eni holds interests in 8 explorationand production licenses in the deepoffshore and is operator (with sharesfrom 45 to 100%) in three blocks fora total acreage of 13,888 squarekilometers in waters up to 2,800meters deep.

N O R W A Y

In 2001 the Norwegian Ministry forOil and Energy awarded anexploration license for offshoreBlock 35/1 to a consortium made upof three international oil companies,among which Eni with a 30%interest. In the Barents Sea Enidiscovered oil with the Goliath field,operated by Eni with a 25%interest.In the license PL134 (Eni’s interest30%) a new hydrocarbon discoverywas made with the Marvin well.

I R E L A N D

Eni holds and operates anexploration permit (with a 100% interest) including sixoffshore blocks at water depths of1,000-2,000 meters. Eni is alsoinvolved in three other explorationpermits.

D E N M A R K ( F A R Ø E I S L A N D S )

Eni holds and operates two offshore exploration licensescovering an area of 700 squarekilometers at 1,000 meter water depth.

Eni is among the best posi t ioned companies in the new and most promising mining areas. In the futuresuch areas wi l l g ive a substant ia l contr ibut ion to the growth in Eni ’s reserves and product ion.

The Caspian Sea is one of the mostpromising areas in the world forhydrocarbon exploration.In Kazakhstan in February 2001,Eni was named single operator ofthe PSA concerning the NorthCaspian Sea project in the Kazakhoffshore. The joint venture isformed by Eni and six internationaloil companies. The area undercontract is made up of 11 blockscovering a total of over 5,500square kilometers at a depth of 2 to10 meters. Three wells were drilledin this area, the first two KE-1 andKW-1 about 40 kilometers from oneanother discovered a large reservoirin the Kashagan structure,approximately 75 kilometers south-east of Atyrau. The third well(KE-2), the first appraisal well,drilled at a depth of over 4,000meters yielded 7,000 barrels/day intest production and confirmed theimportance of the discovery.A second appraisal well (KE-3) iscurrently being drilled and asecond plant will start drilling thethird appraisal well (KE-5) insecond quarter of 2002. InSeptember 2001 the projectpartners signed a purchase and saleagreement with Bp and Statoil inorder to purchase in proportionalshares the interest of these two

companies. When the agreement isfinalized, after the granting ofauthorizations by the relevantauthorities, Eni’s share willincrease from 14.28 to 16.67%.In Azerbaijan Eni is operator (witha 25% share) in the offshore KurDashi Block, an area ofapproximately 600 squarekilometers. In the Shakh DenizBlock (Eni’s interest 5%), an area ofapproximately 860 squarekilometers in the Caspian offshore,exploration contributed to thedefinition of the extension of thenatural gas and condensates field.The development project for thisfield is in the starting phase afterthe conclusion of agreements withthe national company Socar and theTurkish company Botas for the saleof natural gas extracted.Following the acquisition of Lasmo, Eni has a 27.6% interestin the PSA-regulated onshoreexploration block in Turkmenistanknown as Garashsyzlyk. At the endof 2001 an exploratory well was

drilled to test the mineral potentialof the area.

R U S S I A

Eni signed a deal withAstrakhannefteprom Company (a company jointly owned byRegional Government of Astrakhanand the Stroytransgaz company) forthe acquisition of 50% of mineralrights of Severo Astrakhanskylicense, acting as operator. Thelicense concerns an area of highmineral potential of 1,800 squarekilometers situated at the mouth ofthe Volga, on the edges of the greatpre-Caspian sedimentary basin ofthe where important discoveries ofoil have been made. Recentexploration activities in the areahave indicated the presence ofhydrocarbons. Eni will continue itexploration activities in order todetermine the mineral potential ofthe area. The field is located in thevicinity of the Caspian PipelineConsortium’s oil pipeline in whichEni has a 2% stake.
