SAN DONATO MILANESE, Italy — Eni has signed a long-term contract with QatarEnergy LNG NFE, its joint venture with QatarEnergy, for the development of the North Field East (NFE) project offshore Qatar.
This will deliver up to 1.5 Bcm/year of LNG to the FSRU Italia, currently stationed in Piombino, Italy, with deliveries set to begin in 2026 and continue for 27 years.
The volumes produced by the NFE project will raise Qatar’s LNG production by 45 Bcm, in addition to the current 108 Bcm, and will contribute to Italy's security of supply.
Eni has been importing 2.9 Bcm/year to Europe from Qatar since 2007 under a long-term agreement.
The company is seeking to increase the contribution of gas to its upstream production to 60% by 2030.
