Eni and ADNOC announced that they have closed their strategic partnership, announced in January, through which Eni acquired a 20% equity interest in ADNOC refining. The final cash price is approximately $3.24bn. The partners, which include Austria’s OMV, also set up a new trading joint venture.

“We have delivered good cash flow performance, despite earnings volatility, in a quarter that has seen challenging macroeconomic conditions in refining and chemicals as well as lower gas prices. This quarter we achieved some key milestones, such as the start-up of Appomattox and the first LNG cargo from Prelude. These add to our competitive portfolio, which is expected to generate additional cash in the coming quarters. The resilience of our Upstream and customer-facing businesses and their ability to generate cash support the delivery of our 2020 outlook, which remains unchanged.”
