On February 28, Eni completed the acquisition of BP’s business in Algeria, gaining access to two gas-producing concessions. The deal, announced in September last year, has been approved by the national and antitrust authorities.
BP held a 45.89% working interest in In Amenas and 33.15% in In Salah. The two production licences are operated by Sonatrach and Equinor, respectively, in Algeria’s southern Sahara desert region.
Following this operation – and the development programmes already underway in the Berkine basin – Eni’s equity production in Algeria will rise to approximately 130,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2023.
