Italian energy major Eni plans to start oil and gas production from the giant Baleine discovery offshore Cote d’Ivoire as early as 2023 as the country put 32 more blocks up for offer to investors. Eni’s Baleine discovery, announced in September, plans to have first oil and gas as early as 2023, Sergio Laura, managing director of Eni Cote d’Ivoire, told the Africa Oil Week conference in Dubai on Nov. 10. The company plans to fast-track development of the major discovery and it “could become even bigger” than already estimated, he said.
