Eni has commenced production at the Ndungu full-field in the western area of Block 15/06 offshore Angola, operated by Azule Energy.

The development, part of the Agogo Integrated West Hub Project, will involve seven production wells and four injection wells.

The operator expects output to peak at 60,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd). Production at the Ndungu full-field launched six months after the Agogo floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit achieved first oil.

The company will integrate the Agogo Integrated West Hub in phases, with initial production from Ndungu routed through the N’goma FPSO before moving to the Agogo FPSO at a later stage.

This approach aims to maintain consistent long-term production from Block 15/06 and support Angola’s national petroleum output targets.

Eni indicated that combined production from the Agogo and Ndungu fields is expected to reach around 175,000bopd.

Azule Energy operates Agogo IWH with a 36.84% stake, while Sonangol E&P and Sinopec International hold 36.84% and 26.32%, respectively. Azule Energy is jointly owned by Eni and bp.

Eni stated that its approach with the Ndungu field reflects a development model focused on low carbon emissions, rapid delivery, maximising value, minimising subsurface risk and reducing time-to-market.

Prior to this, Eni confirmed a gas and condensate discovery in Block CI-501 offshore Côte d’Ivoire following drilling at the Murene South-1X well. The company said that the find, Calao South, highlighted the potential of the Calao channel complex.

In December 2025, Eni reported a gas discovery from drilling at the Konta-1 exploration well within the Muara Bakau production sharing contract in Indonesia’s Kutei basin.

The Konta-1 well encountered an initial estimated gas reserve of 600 billion cubic feet, with potential reserves exceeding one trillion cubic feet.
