Eni announces first production from the Junín-5 giant heavy oil field in Venezuela
San Diego de Cabrutica (Venezuela), March 13, 2013 - PetroJunín, joint venture formed by PDVSA (60%) and Eni (40%), has started production from the Junín-5 giant heavy oil field, located in the Faja del Orinoco, the area with the largest untapped hydrocarbon reserves in the world. The block is located around 550 kilometers south east of Caracas and covers an area of approximately 425 square kilometers.
The Junín-5 block, currently under development, holds 35 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) of certified oil in place and is jointly operated by two joint ventures (Empresa Mixta) formed by PDVSA (60%) and Eni (40%): PetroJunín for the development and production and PetroBicentenario for the construction and operation of a refinery in the Jose Industrial Complex, with a 350,000 barrels per day capacity.
Today, with the first well on stream, the production start-up was achieved nine months ahead of the approved development plan for Phase 1 (early production phase). PDVSA and Eni plan to increase production to approximately 15,000 barrels a day by the year end and subsequently to 75,000 barrels a day by early 2015, through the drilling of approximately 180 wells.
The development of Phase 2 (full field) will bring production to a level of 240,000 barrels a day by the end of 2018. Throughout the expected 40 years of the field life, the drilling of nearly 1,500 wells is planned.
The diluted crude oil of Junín-5 will be transported to PetroBicentenario’s Refinery in Jose where it will be processed and converted into oil products (diesel, naphtha and LPG) to be exported.
In Venezuela, Eni is also co-operator in Cardón IV, the operating company which manages the super-giant Perla gas field. The current estimated Perla gas in place is approximately 17 Trillion cubic feet (Tcf), or 3.1 billion barrels of oil equivalent. Perla shareholders, following the entry of PDVSA in the project, will be PDVSA (35%), Eni (32.5%) and Repsol (32.5%).
Eni also holds a participating interest in Petrosucre, the operating company of the Corocoro offshore field (PDVSA 74%, Eni 26%), with a net production of approximately 10,000 barrels of oil per day.

Eni sells a 20% share of Area 4 in Mozambique to CNPC and signs a Joint Study Agreement
for cooperation for the development of the Rongchang shale gas block in China
Beijing, March 14, 2013 - Eni CEO, Paolo Scaroni, and the CEO of Petrochina Company Limited, controlled by China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), Zhou Jiping, signed an agreement in Beijing for Eni’s sale to CNPC of 28.57% of Eni East Africa’s shares, owner of the 70% interest in Area 4, in Mozambique. With this operation, CNPC indirectly acquires a 20% stake in Area 4, while Eni remains the owner of 50%. The remaining shares in the Area are held by Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos de Mocambique (ENH, 10%), Kogas (10%) and Galp Energia (10%).
The agreed price is equal to 4,210 million US dollars.
The completion of the transaction is subject to the fulfillment of certain standard conditions including obtaining all necessary authorizations from Mozambique’s authorities.
CNPC’s entrance into Area 4 is strategically important for the project thanks to the worldwide relevance of the new partner in the upstream and downstream sectors.
During the meeting, Eni and CNPC signed a Joint Study Agreement for cooperation for the development of the Rongchang shale gas block, which covers about 2,000 square kilometers in the Sichuan Basin. This area, closely located to the main consumption markets in China, has already been de-risked by research activities and production tests carried out in nearby blocks and has proven to be the most promising in the country to date.
The agreement will allow for the study of the area which will be conducted simultaneously with the negotiations for the signing of the Production Sharing Agreement.

Exploration & Production
Eni confirms its strategy of production growth, raising its average annual target to over 4% in the 2013-2016 period. This growth is based on a scenario of $90/bbl to 2016, but it is resilient to higher oil prices.
Eni’s growth strategy is founded on organic development, thanks to the significant contribution coming from key development hubs including – Russia (Yamal), the Barents Sea, Kazakhstan, Venezuela, the Far East and the sub-Saharan region.
Projects due to come onstream over the plan period will add over 700 kboe/d of production by 2016. 80% of this new production will come from giant projects, and 40% will come from additional development phases of producing fields.
Beyond the plan period, production growth of over 3% per year to 2022 will be based on our diversified and synergic development pipeline, and on a low decline rate of about 4%, coming from dynamic reservoir management and intense production optimization activities.
Gas & Power
The outlook on the gas market environment, especially in Italy, remains challenging mainly due to a still weak macroeconomic environment. As a result, the Italian market is still oversupplied, lacking physical export capacity which would allow the reverse flow of significant take or pay volumes delivered to Italy.
In this context, Eni is renegotiating the most of the supply contracts in its portfolio. The renegotiations aim at realigning gas purchased with those of the prevailing hubs, aiming also at obtaining more flexibility in the volumes of the take or pay contracts.
On the commercial front, Eni will continue to focus on solid segments like retail and LNG, and support margins in wholesale through the enrichment of its portfolio with flexible and innovative products as today's market requires.
This is facilitated by the integration of this segment with trading within a new organization.
The EBITDA proforma adj expected in 2016 will be approximately 1.5 bln euro.
Refining & Marketing
In Refining, Eni will increase the flexibility of its plants, optimizing the production cycles, reducing costs and exploiting its proprietary technologies. A key project will be the conversion of the Venice refinery into a bio-refinery to recover profitability.

The EST (Eni Slurry Technology), plant in Sannazzaro refinery, exploiting our proprietary technology for the full conversion of the barrel, will be on stream in the second half of 2013, improving the competitiveness of our refining system.
In Marketing, results will increase thanks to the completion of the re-branding of the distribution network, the automation of petrol stations and the expansion of non-oil activities as well as sales abroad.
Eni is targeting an EBIT enhancement of more than euro 500 million to 2016.
Versalis
The scenario for basic chemicals in Europe is characterized by increasing pressure on prices. Eni’s strategy will be focused on greater exposure on high value segments and growing markets.
Even excluding any improvement in the scenario, Eni expects to reach break-even by the end of the plan period thanks to further rationalization and integration and the refocusing of the portfolio on valuable segments and growing markets.
Segments of interest include elastomers, with targeted production growth of over 60% to 2016, and green chemicals. In 2013 there will be the start-up of the first two lines in the Matrica plant, a joint venture with Novamont in Porto Torres, one of the biggest biochemical projects in the world.
Eni is committed to the expansion of its emerging markets activities through strategic partnerships and will continue to promote initiatives to improve the efficiency of its plants and processes.
The new plan increases Eni’s target from >euro 400 by 2015 to over euro 500 million by 2016.
Financial strategy
Eni’s strategic growth prospects are supported by a transformed balance sheet, with net debt at the end of 2012 almost halved compared with 2011. This stronger financial position is coherent with our new business profile, more exposed to the E&P business. Eni expects to maintain leverage within a target range of 10-30%, using this flexibility to absorb temporary fluctuations in oil prices, in market environments and in our business results.
Eni plans to make approximately euro 56.8 billion of investments over the 2013-2016 period, an increase, at the exchange rate euro/dollar of approximately euro 1.6 bln over the last plan period. The increase is largely related to the new growth opportunities in E&P, including Mozambique.
The capex plan will be funded by strong cash generation in the region of euro 20 bln per year over the period, driven by increasing E&P production, the gradual recovery in our mid and downstream businesses, and over euro 10 bln of disposal opportunities including Galp and Snam, and some rebalancing in our E&P portfolio.

New shareholder distribution policy
Given its modified business profile and the strengthened balance sheet, Eni plans to adopt a new shareholder distribution policy. This consists of a progressive dividend, and a new buyback program.
The sustainability of a progressive dividend is compatible with the prices scenario expected in the plan, a gradual recovery of the European gas demand and it leverages on the underlying earnings and cashflow growth expected during the plan period.
According to this policy and our projections for 2013, the Eni board intends to propose a dividend of euro 1.10/sh, an increase of around 2% on 2012.
The buyback will be activated at management’s discretion and when a number of conditions are met. These include, but are not limited to, satisfactory leverage, well-within our target range limit of 30%, and full coverage for capex and dividends throughout the plan period.
