Italian oil and gas company Eni, in partnership with Ivorian national oil company Petroci, has announced a significant increase in gas supply for Côte d’Ivoire’s power generation system.
According to a statement issued by Eni, up to 70 million cubic feet per day of gas produced from the Baleine Phase 2 project will be entirely allocated to meet local demand, ensuring a reliable supply for the country’s power generation needs and further reinforcing Côte d’Ivoire’s role as a regional energy hub.
This achievement was made possible through close collaboration with Ivorian authorities and Petroci, leveraging Eni’s integrated approach that combines responsible production with a positive impact on local communities.
Eni has also reached its oil production plateau of 60,000 barrels per day, tripling output compared to the 20,000 barrels produced in the previous phase.
Notably, the Baleine project is the first net-zero upstream project (Scope 1 and 2) in Africa, a milestone made possible by advanced technologies that reduce its carbon footprint and innovative initiatives developed in close cooperation with the Ivorian government.
With Phase 1 launched in August 2023, Phase 2 launched in December 2024, and Phase 3 currently under study, total production is expected to reach 150,000 barrels of oil per day and 200 million cubic feet of associated gas.
Eni has been present in Côte d’Ivoire since 2015 and is committed to energy production as well as sustainable development through projects in education, training, healthcare, and economic diversification, aligning its efforts with the country’s national development plans.
