Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi said: "A second field, Cinguvu, came on stream on time and on budget, after Sangos in November 2014, confirming our excellent track record in terms of efficiency, technology and innovation."

Italy-based Eni won the bid round in 2006 and started drilling 24 exploration and appraisal wells in Block 15/06, where it discovered more than 3 billion barrels of oil in place, and 850 million barrels of reserves.

Eni operates Block 15/06 with a 35% stake, with Sonangol EP as the concessionaire. Sonangol Pesquisa e Produção, SSI Fifteen and Falcon Oil Holding Angola own 35%, 25% and 5% stakes respectively.

The company intends to start up its East Hub development in 2017, which will increase overall production from Block 15/06 to 200,000 barrels of oil per day.
