List of Eni's subsidiaries for year 2010


Eni's businesses are:

Oil and natural gas production

Reported oil and natural gas production for the full year was 1,815 kboe/d. Production grew by 1.1%, excluding the effect of the updated gas conversion factor.

Leveraging on organic growth, Eni expects to deliver more than 3% compound average growth rate over the next four-year period, targeting a production level in excess of 2.05 mmboe/d by 2014 under a Brent scenario at $70 per barrel.

Estimated net proved reserves at December 31, 2010, were 6.84 bboe (up 2.5% from 2009 on comparable basis) based on a 12-month average Brent price of $79 per barrel.

The supply, transport, distribution and marketing of natural gas

The supply, transport, distribution and marketing of natural gas; production and sale of electricity
 In 2010
, sales of natural gas were 97.06 bcm, down 6.66 bcm or 6.4%, mainly due to unfavourable trends on the Italian market.

This decline was driven by lower sales recorded in the power generation business, as clients opted to directly purchase gas on the marketplace, while lower sales to industrial customers and wholesalers were caused by increased competitive pressure fuelled by oversupply and weak demand. These negatives were offset by organic growth in some European markets.

Natural gas volumes transported on the Italian network were 83.32 bcm, up 8.3% from 2009.

Electricity volumes sold were 39.54 TWh, increasing by 5.58 TWh, or 16.4%, from 2009.

The refining and marketing of petroleum products

In 2010, refining throughputs were 34.80 mmtonnes, up 0.7% from 2009.

In 2010, sales volumes of refined products (46.80 mmtonnes) were up of 1.21 mmtonnes from 2009, or 2.7%, mainly due to higher volumes sold to oil companies and traders in Italy and outside Italy.

Oilfield Services, Construction and Engineering

Order backlog was €20,505 million at December 31, 2010 (€18,730 million at December 31, 2009), related in particular to projects in the Middle East (27%), North Africa (18%) and the Americas (16%).

Petrochemical

Sales of petrochemical products were 4,731 ktonnes, up 466 ktonnes from last year, or 10.9%, as a result of a recovery in demand from the very low levels of the same period of last year.
