Sustainability Report 2007 Message from the Chief Executive Officer In this second annual Sustainability Report Eni declares its commitments and goals, describes the actions undertaken and those which are planned, reports the achieved results. The 2007 Sustainability Report has evolved following a process of listening to the expectations and information needs of Eni’s stakeholders, who require the company to be transparent about its vision and strategy for sustainable and secure energy generation. The reliability of the information contained in this report and on Eni’s website is guaranteed by a reporting system which brings together corporate and operational functions, an independent mechanism that verifies the processes used to gather the information worldwide and testimonials from our project partners. 2007 has been an important year. Sustainability has become an integral part of corporate processes and has qualified Eni to enter the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index, the FTSE4Good Index and the Climate Disclosure Leadership Index. The awareness that the results obtained are not a point of conclusion and the general scenario outlined in this Report have led us to identify the actions which are still to be taken, using dialogue and innovation capacity as a way to promote a sustainable development.

  • Shell and Eni Lead Race to Net Zero

    Shell and Eni Lead Race to Net Zero

    Shell and Eni lead European oil majors’ race to net zero emissions • New research from the influential Transition Pathway Initiative assesses the recent climate change announcements from six European oil & gas majors • Shell and Eni now have the most ambitious emissions-reduction plans • But claims to be aligned with ‘net-zero’ or 1.5°C are overstated, according to TPI’s analysis (12 May 2020, London) The climate ambitions of European integrated oil and gas majors have strengthened markedly in the last six months, with Total, Shell, BP, Repsol and Eni all having made commitments to significantly reduce the carbon intensity of the energy they supply. New analysis from the Transition Pathway Initiative (TPI) – an investor initiative backed by over $19 trillion of global capital - shows that four oil and gas majors - Shell, Eni, Total, Repsol - are now aligned with the emissions reductions pledged by the signatories to the Paris Agreement. BP and OMV are now the only European companies who fail to align with the Paris pledges. However, despite these commitments, none of the companies are aligned yet with ‘net zero’ or 1.5°C pathways. TPI calculates that the average European oil and gas company would need to cut its emissions intensity by over 70% between 2018 and 2050 to align with a 2°C climate scenario by 2050, while a genuine net zero strategy would require a 100% cut in absolute emissions. Even the most ambitious new targets fall far short of this. Adam Matthews, Co-Chair of TPI, and Director of Ethics and Engagement for the Church of England Pensions Board, said: “The European integrated oil and gas sector is changing rapidly.

  • Country Analysis Brief: Kazakhstan

    Country Analysis Brief: Kazakhstan

    Country Analysis Brief: Kazakhstan Last Updated: May 10, 2017 Overview Kazakhstan, an oil producer since 1911, has the second-largest oil reserves and the second-largest oil production among the former Soviet republics after Russia. Kazakhstan is a major oil producer. The country’s estimated total petroleum and other liquids production was 1.698 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2016. The key to its continued growth in liquids production from this level is the development of its giant Tengiz, Karachaganak, and Kashagan fields. Development of additional export capacity will also be necessary for production growth. Although Kazakhstan became an oil producer in 1911, its production did not increase to a meaningful level until the 1960s and 1970s, when production plateaued at nearly 500,000 b/d, a pre-Soviet independence record production level. Since the mid-1990s, and with the help of major international oil companies, Kazakhstan's production first exceeded 1 million b/d in 2003. Oil field development in Kazakhstan reached two milestones in 2016. In October 2016, the giant Kashagan field resumed production after years of delays. Kashagan is expected to produce 370,000 b/d of liquids at full capacity. Additionally, in July 2016, The Tengizchevroil consortium decided to proceed with expansion plans that should increase liquids production at the Tengiz project by about 260,000 b/d beginning in 2022. Kazakhstan is landlocked and is far from international oil markets. The lack of access to the open ocean makes the country dependent mainly on pipelines to transport its hydrocarbons to world markets. Kazakhstan is also a transit country for oil and natural gas pipeline exports to China.

THE PETROLEUM SECTOR—AN OVERVIEW OF DEVELOPMENTS, ISSUES AND PROSPECTS1 A. Introduction 1. Kazakhstan's petroleum sector continues to develop rapidly and highly favorable prospects for the medium-to-long-term are becoming more concrete. Large and rising investment, almost entirely from abroad, continue to flow to the still relatively young sector. In addition to the rapid development of existing onshore petroleum fields, development of potentially much larger reserves in the offshore Caspian region is about to begin. Proven and probable crude oil reserves are now estimated to approach the 30 billion barrel mark. The petroleum sector accounts for almost one quarter of GDP and about one-half of export earnings. Importantly, Kazakhstan secured in 2002 several strategic agreements with Russia—on the delimitation of the Caspian Sea bed and improved access to oil and gas pipelines to western markets—which further significantly secure the medium-term outlook. 2. Over the long term (15-20 years), Kazakhstan can reasonably expect crude production to approximately triple to around 3 million barrels a day (bpd), of which at least one third would come from the Caspian Sea.
