Eni named Exploration Company of the Year by Petroleum Economist

The exploration confirms to be for Eni an important driver of growth, with a strategy focused on basins with proven reserves located near fields already developed that allow to quickly complete the evaluation of the mineral potential and exploit synergies for future development activities and put-in production time.

San Donato Milanese, 24-9-2015 — /EuropaWire/ — Eni is winner of the Petroleum Economist Award, established in 2006 by the prestigious Petroleum Economist, as Exploration Company of the Year.

The appointment of the best company in the world within the oil & gas sector is a further acknowledgement of Eni numerous exploration successes, which thanks to the high level of its geological expertise and leading-edge drilling technologies, in the last seven years has made discoveries for more than 10 billion barrels of resources. In particular, over the last three years, Eni has achieved record results with five great discoveries, the last one was in the Egyptian Mediterranean Sea, with the find of the supergiant gas field Zohr. This discovery is the largest ever found in Egypt and in the Mediterranean Sea and could become one of the largest in the world.
