ENI’s CEO Claudio Descalzi has earned his spot thanks to his relentless efforts to expand in the Middle East. The company has made many discoveries in the region, specifically in Egypt, but made headlines in 2019 for a spate of agreements. ENI won three of UAE emirate Sharjah’s onshore exploration concessions and offshore Block A in Ras Al Khaimah, closed its acquisition of a 20% equity interest in ADNOC Refining, signed an exploration MoU for Block 1 offshore Bahrain, an exploration and production sharing agreement for Oman’s onshore Block 47, won two more onshore exploration blocks in Egypt, and extended its collaboration with Tunisia and Algeria, among other deals… Busy, busy.
