Congo B: Eni starts production from Nené Marine

Eni announced the start of oil production from the Nené Marine field on the Marine XII Block on 5 January. The Nené Marine field produces oil from the Djeno pre-salt formation 2,500 metres below sea level, in a water depth of 28 metres. Full field development will take place in several stages and will include the installation of production platforms and the drilling of over 30 wells, with plateau production of over 140,000 boe/d. First phase production of some 7,500 boe/d is transported to Eni’s Zatchi production platform via a 17km subsea pipeline.
