E has started Baleine Phase 2, which will increase oil and gas production in Cote d'Ivoire significantly while also helping to achieve its net-zero emission targets.

On Saturday, Italy's Eni announced the beginning of a second phase of oil and gas production at the Baleine field, which is located offshore in Ivory Coast.

Eni S.p.A., a smaller oil company in Europe, has a market value of $40 billion and strong profits, which support its current worth. The company has seen a 4% year-on-year growth in production, offers a nearly 8% dividend yield, and is actively buying back shares to provide good returns for its shareholders. Eni is also focusing on a transition strategy that includes a $3 billion investment from KKR in Enilive to boost its biofuel and renewable energy efforts, along with plans for public listings of some divisions.

A truck explosion at E's storage facility in Calenzano, Italy, resulted in a tragic fire that claimed the lives of two workers. Authorities are currently looking into what caused the incident.

Plenitude, the retail division of the Italian energy company Eni, successfully appealed a 5-million-euro ($5.3 million) fine imposed by Italy's antitrust agency (AGCM) regarding its billing methods. The appeal was decided on Monday.

Eni S.p.A. is an attractive investment because it is concentrating on reducing carbon emissions, renewable energy, and smart asset management, even in a fluctuating market. The company intends to invest heavily in biorefining, renewable energy, and electric mobility, with a goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Eni is financially solid, offering higher dividends, share buybacks, and low debt, which makes it a reliable option with a yield of over 6%.

E's satellite strategy is picking up speed as EIP has made a new agreement to raise its ownership in Plenitude from 7.6% to 10% by buying newly issued shares.

On Monday, the Italian energy company Eni announced that it made $1 billion from its planned sale of the Nikaitchuq and Oooguruk offshore assets in Alaska to the U.S. private firm Hilcorp.
