Eni to operate Angola pre-salt block

摘要

ENI HAS WON an international tender to operate Block 35 in deep-water offshore Angola as it pushes to expand on its core African market and boost deep- water development. Eni has said it will control operations and have a 30 per cent interest in the project. Other partners of the joint venture are Angola's Sonangol with a 45 per cent stake and Spain's Repsol with 25 per cent. The deal involves drilling two wells and conducting 3D seismic surveys on a 2500-sq-km area, which will be carried out in the first five years of exploration, Eni said.
