25/11/2025

Eni, through its subsidiary Nigeria Agip Exploration Limited (NAE), announces the acquisition from TotalEnergies EP Nigeria Limited of an additional 2.5% stake in the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) OML 118, exercising its pre-emption right.

Following the transaction, which has received all necessary regulatory approvals, NAE's share in OML 118 PSC increased from 12.5% to 15%. This acquisition is fully aligned with Eni’s strategy to optimize its upstream portfolio and further strengthens the Company’s commitment to deepwater projects in the country.
