About
Eni is Italy's national energy company, founded in 1953 by Enrico Mattei as Ente Nazionale Idrocarburi to secure the country's energy independence after World War II. Headquartered in Rome, the group employs about 31,000 people and generates annual revenue of roughly EUR 93 billion from upstream oil and gas, refining, chemicals, and a fast-growing renewables and bio-refining business.\n\nEni's upstream operations span 50 countries, anchored by major assets in Libya, Egypt, Nigeria, and Kazakhstan, with a Mediterranean gas hub in Algeria feeding European pipelines. Its transformation strategy — branded as the 'Saturno' model — is built around decarbonizing legacy assets while scaling bio-refineries that convert vegetable oils into aviation fuel and HVO diesel, and launching offshore wind and solar projects across the Mediterranean and Africa. The company is also a leader in carbon capture and storage, with the Ravenna CCS project storing CO2 under the Adriatic Sea.\n\nFor industrial buyers, Eni is a large-scale supplier of crude, LNG, refined products, and base chemicals through its Versalis subsidiary — polyethylene, elastomers, and intermediates for packaging and automotive — and a significant buyer of drilling equipment, subsea hardware, and process technology for its global projects.
