Company Report Highlights
In 2010 Eni reported a net profit of US$8.4 billion. Adjusted net profit saw a rise of 32% from a year ago, due to a recovery in the oil price environment. Production grew by 1.1% for the full year, thanks to delivery of 12 start-ups, particularly the Zubair field in Iraq, which contributed 40 kilo barrels of oil equivalent (kboe)/day of new production.

Highlights of recent exploration activities include a joint venture to develop the giant Junin 5 oilfield and the discovery in 2009 of the giant Perla discovery in Venezuela. Eni is leading the consortium in charge of redeveloping the Zubair field in Iraq over a 20 years period and holds a 32.8% share. 2010 also saw Eni divest its subsidiary Societa Padana Energia in Italy and sign a preliminary agreement with an affiliate of Petrobras for the divestment of its 100% interest in Gas Brasiliano Distribuidora.
