Eni’s subsidiary, Nigerian Agip Exploration Limited (NAE) and STAC Marine have celebrated their one year of successful collaboration for the operation and maintenance of the Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) facilities located in the offshore deepwater of ABO field.

In 2023, after several years of operation and maintenance by an international contractor, STAC took over responsibility for the FPSO, and as of November 2024, it has successfully completed one year of safe, efficient, and smooth operations.

To further strengthen this achievement, along with the companies’ commitment to Health, Safety and Environment (HSE), NAE and STAC also signed the “Pact for Safety and Environment.’

The agreement, developed by Eni’s Safety Competency Centre, focuses on the critical role of the human factor in ensuring a safe and reliable workplace, according to a statement by the Italian oil major.

The Pact, signed by the top management of both NAE and STAC, is a critical step towards achieving Eni’s Zero Incident safety target by enhancing safety performance across all operations.

The company also says the milestone reaffirms NAE’s commitment to partnering with local companies that excel in safety and operational excellence to maximize Nigerian participation in the energy industry

Eni has been operating in Nigeria since 1962, actively engaging in hydrocarbon exploration and production. Currently, Eni has a substantial portfolio of assets in exploration and production through the branches Nigerian Agip Exploration Limited (NAE) and Agip Energy Natural Resources Nigeria (AENR). The company also holds a participation interest in Nigeria Liquified Natural Gas Limited (NLNG).
