Eni Nears Award of FPSO Contract for Baleine Phase 3 Offshore Ivory Coast
Offshore Africa
|April 2025
Italian energy major Eni is poised to award a pivotal floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel contract for the third phase of its flagship Baleine oil and gas development offshore Côte d'Ivoire, signaling another major step in the rapid evolution of West Africa's most ambitious upstream project.
-
The Baleine field, discovered in 2021, has garnered global attention as Africa's first net-zero emissions upstream development. It also marks Eni's bold return to Côte d'Ivoire's hydrocarbon sector after decades of intermittent activity. The project has progressed with unprecedented speed, with first oil achieved in August 2023-less than two years after discovery.
