The New Face of Eni's Chemicals Division New strategy and rebranding to Versalis

Milan, May 9, 2012 - The new face of Eni’s chemicals division is Versalis. Created following the rebranding of Polimeri Europa, it represents a tangible sign of the new strategy for Eni’s chemicals division and a renewal of the historical importance of the business within Eni. The name Versalis is the best example of this new strategy – Daniele Ferrari, CEO of Versalis, explained today in Milan, at Plast 2012 – as it brings to mind the concept of universality, widespread presence, stability, safety and security. Versalis sets out to operate as one of the most advanced chemicals and plastic materials businesses, through an ongoing commitment to research and innovation in products, processes and technology. The European chemical sector currently operates in a very complex environment which has undergone critical challenges in recent years due to the entry of new competitors, a great number of production plants moving to Asia, and the volatility of feedstock and energy prices. In addition, increased focus on protecting the environment has accelerated the trend of these changes. Today, the production of Green chemicals represents an evolution of traditional business, and presents high growth opportunities. Technological innovation is one of the fundamental elements of the re-launch of Eni's chemicals business and the Green District project at Porto Torres, which started from its partnership with Novamont in Matrìca, and will enable Versalis to be well positioned in this new sector. The project for the production of chemicals from renewable sources comprises the construction of one of the biggest industrial complexes in the world at Porto Torres, where bio-monomers and bio-polymers will be produced, through an investment of more than euro 500m (in addition to the investments of the plan). The construction of seven production plants is planned in three phases over the next five years, along with a research centre which was opened in February 2012. Eni's strategy for responding to both old and new challenges in the chemicals industry is based, first of all, on its focus on products with greater added value, through expansion and differentiation of its product portfolio, for which Eni estimates a sales growth target of 50%. In the four-year period from 2012 to 2015, investment – necessary for the creation of market-oriented growth conditions – will be equal to euro 1.6bn., 60% more than in the previous plan, and will mainly be aimed at the re-launch of critical Italian sites to deliver income, growth in the business, and entry into new business areas. A significant portion of this investment, over euro 350m, will be dedicated to the conversion of the chemical plant at Priolo (SR) from now until 2015, with

special attention paid to the cracking and polyethylene plants, and the construction of new plants which will ensure the site's profitability and increase employment levels. The new plan highlights the development of the elastomers business, a sector in which Versalis is the leader in Europe, for which over euro 500m of investment is envisaged. The objective is to double the company's turnover, increasing the current 15% margin to 30% in the next 5 years, by strengthening the current production lines and developing existing capacity thanks to the construction of new plants at the sites of Ravenna, Ferrara and Grangemouth (UK). The new butadiene line at Dunkerque is fundamental to the supply of raw materials to the elastomer production sites, particularly in the UK. A fundamental characteristic of the business is our constant commitment to business expansion in emerging markets. An important driver will be the use of proprietary technology (licensing and patents) for the development of joint venture agreements with international players, in Asian markets in particular. As the first step, Versalis has recently entered China with Eni Chemicals Shanghai, directly distributing products in the Chinese market, and with Versalis Pacific (which also has offices in Shanghai), which operates in all Asian markets. Implementation of this renewal plan will provide an expected improvement in EBIT of over euro 400m in 2015.

Eni in 2011 Profile of the year

| Eni's strategy |
| --- |
| The oil&gas industry is copying with a complex
scenario featured by the global economic slowdown,
particularly in the Euro-zone, and volatile market
conditions for energy commodities. In the medium to
long-term the main challenges will be driven by rising
competitive pressures in accessing reserves by new
players, stricter regulation addressing environmental
preservation and mitigation of the climate risk, growing
importance of renewable sources as well as the role of
unconventional resources in satisfying energy needs. Against this backdrop, Eni reaffirms its growth strategy
and the adoption of a sustainable business model founded
on the pillars of innovation, excellence, inclusiveness,
integration, responsibility and cooperation in a
framework of straightforward rules of corporate
governance. Eni believes that a sustainable business conduct
contributes to both the achievement of industrial
performance, and the mitigation of political, financial
and operational risks. This strengthens Eni’s role
as a trustworthy and reliable partner, who is ready to
capture new opportunities in the marketplace and able to
manage the complexities of the environment. Eni believes that those drivers will help the Company to
create value to its shareholders and stakeholders. Eni
has designed its industrial plan for the four-year period
2012-2015 along the following strategic guidelines:
growing profitably oil and gas production in the
upstream, strengthening market leadership in the European
gas market, improving downstream oil efficiency,
refocusing petrochemical operations and retaining top
spots among the best-in-class engineering and
construction players in the most technologically-
advanced segments. |

2011 Highlights

Performance of the year In 2011, employee and contractor injury frequency rates declined by 43.1% and 14.6% from 2010, respectively. Greenhouse gas emissions (total and from flared) reported a steep decline, reflecting the completion of certain gas recovery projects in Nigeria and the reduction in associated gas to feed the ramp-up of two turbo-generators in a power plant in Congo. Performance for the year was also impacted by lowered Libyan activities. In 2011, the E&P Division reported an excellent performance amounting to euro 6,866 million of adjusted net profit (up 22.6% from 2010), reflecting higher oil prices and the rapid recovery of Libyan output. Return on average capital employed calculated on an adjusted basis was 17.2% in 2011 (16% in 2010). In 2011, Eni reported liquids and gas production of 1,581 kboe/d, down by 12.9% from 2010, mainly due to a lowered output in Libya. Performance was also negatively impacted by lower entitlements in the Company’s Production Sharing Agreements due to higher oil prices with an overall effect of approximately 30 kboe/d from 2010. Net of this effect and the above mentioned loss of Libyan output, production for the year was in line with 2010. In the year oil spills from accidents declined by 23% from 2010, due to significant prevention activities undertaken.

Eni in 2011 Business review / Exploration & Production

Estimated net proved reserves at December 31, 2011, were 7.09 bboe (up 3.6% from 2010) based on a 12-month average Brent price of $111 per barrel. All sources reserves replacement ratio was 142%. Excluding the price effect, the replacement ratio would be 159%. The reserves life index is 12.3 years (10.3 years in 2010). In 2011, capital expenditures amounted to euro 9,435 million to enhance assets in well established areas of Africa, the Gulf of Mexico and Central Asia. Exploration expenditure amounted to euro 1,210 million (up 19.6% from 2010) to execute a selective campaign with the completion of 56 new exploratory wells (28 net to Eni) and an overall commercial success rate of 42% (38.6% net to Eni). In addition 17 exploratory wells drilled are in progress at year end (9.9 net to Eni). Development expenditure was euro 7,357 million to fuel the growth of major projects in Norway, Kazakhstan, Algeria, the United States, Italy, Congo and Egypt. In 2011, overall R&D expenditure of Exploration & Production Division amounted to approximately euro 90 million (euro 98 million in 2010). Restarted Libyan operations The rapid restart of Eni’s Libyan operations reduced the impact of the Revolution on 2011 results. Production at Eni’s Libyan sites is currently flowing at approximately 240 kboe/d and management is targeting to achieve the pre-crisis production plateau of 280 kboe/d and full ramp-up by the second half of 2012. Giant discovery in Mozambique The giant Mamba discovery in Mozambique opens up extraordinary development opportunities and is ideally placed to serve the fast-growing Asian gas markets. The three exploration wells drilled in Area 4 in the Rovuma basin – Mamba South, Mamba North and Mamba North East – have found volumes of gas in place up to 40 Tcf. This is the largest operated discovery in the Company’s history. Agreement with Rosneft On April 25, 2012, Eni and Rosneft signed a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly develop exploration licenses in the Russian offshore of the Barents Sea and the Black Sea. Under the agreement, joint ventures (Eni 33.33%) will explore for and develop the Fedynsky and Tsentralno-Barentsvesky licenses offshore the Barents Sea and the Zapadno-Cernomorsky license offshore the Black Sea. These licenses are estimated to hold recoverable resources of 36 bboe. Portfolio Signed a Gas Sales Agreement for developing the giant Perla gas discovery, containing over 17 Tcf of gas in place with the Venezuelan national oil company PDVSA. On December 14, 2011, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the contracting companies in the Final Production Sharing Agreement (FPSA) of the giant Karachaganak gas-condensate field reached an agreement to settle all pending claims. The agreement, effective from June 30, 2012 on satisfaction of conditions precedent, involves Kazakhstan’s KazMunaiGas (KMG) acquiring a 10% interest in the project. This will be done by each of the contracting companies transferring 10% of their rights and interest in the Karachaganak FPSA to KMG. Signed with Chinese oil companies framework agreements to promote joint projects in conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon plays in China and outside China. Achieved a cooperation agreement with Sonatrach to explore for and develop unconventional hydrocarbons, particularly shale gas plays in Algeria. Signed a Memorandum of Understanding with South Africa’s State-owned oil company PetroSA to promote joint opportunities in conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons in South Africa and in Africa. Eni will also ensure long-term LNG supplies as well as flows of refined products to support the Country’s economic development. Acquired from Cadogan Petroleum plc an interest in two licenses for exploration and development in areas included in the Dniepr-Donetz basin in Ukraine. Reached an agreement with MEO Australia to farm-in the Heron and Blackwood gas discoveries in the NT/P-68 permit, located in the Timor Sea. In addition, Eni acquired a 32.5% stake in the Evans Shoal gas discovery in the Timor Sea with approximately 7 Tcf of volumes of gas in place. Awarded the Arguni I and the North Ganal operated gas exploration contracts located onshore and offshore Indonesia, respectively. The planned activities provide for the development of natural gas resources to feed existing LNG production plants nearby in both acquired areas. Awarded the operatorship of the PL657 license (Eni’s interest 80%) located in the Barents Sea nearby the Goliat operated field (Eni’s interest 65%). Any exploratory success will be supported by the existing facilities significantly reducing time-to-market. Signed with the Angolan authorities the Production Sharing Contract to explore Block 35 (Eni operator with a 30% interest) located in an offshore high potential mineral basin.

Eni in 2011 Business review / Exploration & Production

Strategies

Eni’s Exploration & Production business boasts a strong competitive position in a number of strategic oil and gas basins in the world, namely the Caspian Region, North and Sub-Saharan Africa, Venezuela and Iraq. Eni’s strategy is to deliver organic production growth with increasing returns and reserve replacement. Growth will be fuelled by increasing flows from Eni’s core areas leveraging Eni’s vast knowledge of reservoirs and geological basins, as well as technical and producing synergies. We intend to drive higher returns and manage the operational risk in our upstream operations by reducing time to market, increasing total volumes of operated production, as operatorship is seen to be the safest way to control risks, as well as selectively picking partners in non-operated joint-projects. Our growth trajectory will be supported by our ongoing commitment in establishing and consolidating our partnerships with key host Countries, leveraging the Eni co-operation model. We expect that continuing technological innovation and competence build-up will drive production growth and increasing rates of reserve recovery, developing drilling techniques to be applied in complex environment, marginal fields and deep/ultra deep offshore areas. Consistent with the long-term nature of the business, strategic guidelines for our Exploration & Production Division have remained basically unchanged in the years, as follows: n Maintain strong profitable production growth n Invest in exploration to enhance growth prospects over the long-term and ensure reserve replacement n Develop new projects to fuel future growth n Consolidate our industry-leading cost position To execute these strategies, we plan to spend approximately euro 37.6 billion to explore for and develop new reserves over the next four years. Exploration projects will account for approximately euro 5.5 billion. Approximately euro 1.7 billion will be spent to build transportation infrastructures and LNG projects through equity-accounted entities.

| Maintain Strong Production Growth |

Company’s long-term production plateau, particularly
we plan to start developing the recent gas discovery
offshore Mozambique and to progress large and complex
projects in the Barents Sea, Nigeria and Indonesia. We project that new field start-ups will add
approximately 700 kboe/d to the Company’s production
level in 2015 at our long-term Brent price of $85 a
barrel. The most important production start-ups are
planned in Nigeria, Angola, Norway, Venezuela, Russia and
Kazakhstan and will be mainly focused on key hubs where
we plan to benefit from technical and producing
synergies. We have a good level of visibility on those
new projects as most of them have been already sanctioned
and where we serve as operator. Most of these new
projects are giant fields characterized by steady and
long-lasting production plateaus. These giant fields
include three of our fields in the Yamal Peninsula in
Russia, Goliat in Norway, Perla and Junin 5 in Venezuela,
Block 15/06 in Angola and Kashagan. A second leg of our growth strategy is to sustain the
current plateau at producing fields by counteracting
natural field depletion and production optimization. We
plan to dedicate strong efforts to this area by executing
a huge infilling and work-over campaign. We expect that
continuing technological innovation and competence
build-up will drive increasing rates of reserve recovery. We intend to implement a number of initiatives to support
profitability by exercising tight cost control and
reducing the time span which is necessary to develop and
market reserves. We are making strong progress in
reducing the time to developing and marketing our
exploration resources. We have fine-tuned our process and
organization to consistently monitor the status and value
of resources in the different phases of conversion.
Through these actions, we will be able to develop more
than 90% of the exploration successes of the last three
years within 8 years of their discovery. Eni will pursue further growth options by developing
unconventional plays, gas- |

Eni in 2011 Business review / Exploration & Production

| n Production
and reserves: 2011 and outlook In 2011, Eni reported liquids and gas production of
1,581 kboe/d, down by 12.9% from 2010. This reduction was
driven by a lowered flow from Eni’s activities in
Libya, which was affected by the shut down of almost all
the Company plants and facilities including the
GreenStream pipeline throughout the peak of the
Country’s internal crisis. In the last part of the
year the efforts made to restart the GreenStream pipeline
and recover production enabled the Company to bring back
online an average Libyan output of 112 kboe/d in the
year, partly offsetting the impact of force majeure (down
approximately 200 kboe/d). Performance was also
negatively impacted by lower entitlements in the
Company’s PSAs due to higher oil prices with an
overall effect of approximately 30 kboe/d compared to the
previous year. Net of these effects, production for 2011
was in line with 2010. Ramp-ups and start-ups were offset
by lower-than-anticipated growth in Iraq and planned
facility downtime. In the year we achieved eleven start-ups which are
expected to add approximately 80 kboe/d at plateau to
Eni’s medium-term production. Main start-ups were:
(i) the Guendalina (Eni’s interest 80%) and
Capparuccia (Eni’s interest 95%) fields, in Italy,
with an overall production start-up at approximately 7
kboe/d; (ii) the Denise B field in the El Temsah
concession (Eni operator with a 50% interest), in | | Egypt. Production peak is
expected at 14 kboe/d in 2012; (iii) the Appaloosa field
(Eni’s interest 100%), in the Gulf of Mexico, with a
production of 7 kbbl/d through linkage to the Corral
operated platform with a treatment capacity of 33 kbbl/d
net to Eni; (iv) the Nikaitchuq operated field
(Eni’s interest 100%), located in North Slope basins
offshore Alaska, with resources of 220 million barrels.
Development plan completion is expected in 2014 with an
average production plateau at approximately 21 kbbl/d net
to Eni in 2016; (v) the Kitan oil field (Eni operator
with a 40% interest) located between Timor Leste and
Australia. Peak production of over 40 kbbl/d is expected
in 2012; (vi) the Libondo offshore field (Eni’s
interest 35%), in Congo with production of approximately
3 kboe/d net to Eni. Our production outlook remains strong as we plan to
achieve a compound average growth rate of over 3% in the
next 2012-2015 four-year period, targeting a production
plateau of 2.03 million boe per day in 2015. The growth
rate has been calculated excluding the impact of
disruptions in Libya on the 2011 baseline production. To
achieve that target, we intend: • to
leverage our robust pipeline of projects start-ups,
particularly in Nigeria, Angola, Norway, Venezuela, the
Yamal Peninsula in Russia and Kazakhstan, most of which
is Eni operated and leveraging our vast knowledge of
reservoirs and geological basins, as well as technical
and producing synergies; |

Eni in 2011 Business review / Exploration & Production

| • to maximize the
production recovery rate at our current fields by
counteracting natural field depletion. This will require
intense development activities of work-over and
infilling. We expect that continuing technological
innovation and competence build-up will drive increasing
rates of reserve recovery; • to
monetize our reserves of associated gas in particular in
Algeria, Angola, Congo, Iraq, Italy, Libya, Nigeria,
Norway and Turkmenistan, targeting to cut the level of
gas flaring by 80% from 2007 levels over the next four
years-plan. Management is ready to invest approximately
euro 4 billion to achieve that target. Actual production volumes will vary from year to year
due to the timing of individual project start-ups,
operational outages, reservoir performance, regulatory
changes, asset sales, severe weather events, price
effects under production sharing contracts and other
factors. Estimated net proved reserves at December 31, 2011,
were 7.09 bboe (up 3.6% from 2010) based on a 12-month
average Brent price of $111 per barrel. Additions to
proved reserves booked in 2011 derived from: (i)
extensions, discoveries and other factors, with major
increases booked in Russia, Venezuela, the United States
and Angola; (ii) revisions of previous estimates mainly
reported in Norway, Russia, Italy, Egypt, Kazakhstan and
Iraq; (iii) improved recovery mainly reported in Norway
and Algeria. The reserves life index is 12.3 years (10.3
years in 2010). Eni intends to pay special attention to reserve
replacement in order to ensure the medium to long-term
sustainability of the business. In 2011, we achieved a
strong reserve replacement ratio of 142% through fast
sanctioning and timely start-ups of new projects. We made
final investment decisions to develop large projects such
as the jointly-operated Samburgskoye and Urengoskoye
giant gas fields in Siberia, the Perla project in
Venezuela, as well as projects in Norway and the Gulf of
Mexico which enabled us to book noticeable amounts of
reserves in the year. Eni will continue focusing on
well-established areas of presence where we have
experience and good knowledge of the geological model.
Those areas include Sub-Saharan Africa, Venezuela,
Norway, Russia, Kazakhstan and Iraq where availability of
production facilities will enable the Company to readily
put in production discovered reserves. Our reserve replacement will be underpinned by our strong
focus on exploration and timely conversion of resources
into reserves and production, while at the same time
fighting depletion and enhancing the recovery factor in
existing fields through effective reservoir management. |
| --- |
| Exploration activities play
a major role in our sustainable growth strategy by
fuelling new production and securing access to new
opportunities. In 2011, Eni exploration expenditures
amounted to euro 1,210 million (up 19.6% from 2010) to
execute a selected campaign with the completion of 56 new
exploratory wells, of which 80% were successful. 2011 has been an extraordinary year in terms of size and
reach of new discoveries. Exploration successes in the
year contributed to increase our resource base by 1.1
billion boe. Our exploration success supports our
capacity to deliver sustainable returns on new projects
under almost any oil-price scenario with a very
competitive exploration cost of $1.2 per boe, down from
the last three years average of $1.9 per boe. Eni’s
resource base achieved 32 bboe. We made the large Mamba
gas discovery (Eni operator with a 70% interest) off the
Mozambique coast, located in Area 4 in the Rovuma Basin.
According to field test results and our internal
estimates, we believe that the new discovery may contain
up to 40 Tcf amounts of high-quality gas in place. In a
final completion configuration, production per well is
expected to reach over 140 million cubic feet a day,
approximately 25 kboe/d. In the next two years up to 8
additional wells are expected to be drilled in the nearby
areas in order to fully assess the high potential of the
Mamba reservoir, investing euro 400 million. Further
world-class discoveries have been achieved in the Barents
Sea with the Skrugard and Havis oil and gas wells with
recoverable reserves estimated at approximately 500
million barrels in the PL532 license (Eni’s interest
30%). Both fields are planned to be put in production by
means of a fast-track synergic development. Following
these major successes, we believe we have cracked the
geological code in this part of the basin, and are
confident in a significant resource upside. In Venezuela
appraisal activities were completed at the large Perla
gas field in the Gulf of Venezuela. Results exceeded the
initial resource estimate to more than 16,000 billion
cubic feet. The target production of approximately 300
million cubic feet a day is expected in 2014. Our consistent performance confirms the effectiveness of
our exploration strategy, with its focus on proven basins
and a select number of high-potential frontier plays.
Building on this success, over the next four years we
will increase our exploration efforts to further
strengthen the basis of our long-term growth. In the next
four years, we are planning to step up expenditures
compared to our previous capital budget (an increase of
approximately euro 2 billion). |

Eni in 2011 Business review / Exploration & Production

Exploration projects will attract some euro 5.5 billion to appraise the latest discoveries made by the Company and to support continuing reserve replacement over the next four years. The most important amounts of exploration expenses will be incurred in Mozambique, the United States, Egypt, Nigeria, Angola, Norway and Indonesia; important resources will be dedicated to explore new areas in Sub-Saharan Africa (the Republic of Liberia, Ghana) and on unconventional plays. Over the next four years we aim to discover approximately 1 bboe of resources per year, at an average unit exploration cost of $2 per boe. We will continue to focus on assets with high materiality and fast time to market, concentrating on plays where we have experience and good knowledge of the geological model. We are also renewing our portfolio in new basins close to areas with high demand growth. As of December 31, 2011, Eni’s mineral right portfolio consisted of 1,106 exclusive or shared rights for exploration and development in 41 Countries on five continents for a total acreage of 254,421 square kilometers net to Eni of which developed acreage of 41,373 square kilometers and undeveloped acreage of 213,048 square kilometers. Acquisition of new leases in Angola, Australia, Ghana, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Norway and in Ukraine further enhanced our upstream portfolio. new projects. We plan to counteract those cost increases by leveraging on cost efficiencies associated with: (i) increasing the scale of our operations as we concentrate our resources on larger fields than in the past where we plan to achieve economies of scale; (ii) expanding projects where we serve as operator. We believe operatorship will enable the Company to exercise better cost control, effectively manage reservoir and production operations, and deploy our safety standards and procedures to minimize risks; and (iii) applying our technologies which we believe can reduce drilling and completion costs. A description of our main development projects is provided below. n Oil & gas major projects Block 405b – Algeria (Eni 75%, Op.) Development activity progressed up the MLE and CAFC projects. The MLE project provides for the construction of a natural gas treatment plant with a capacity of 350 mmcf/d and of four export pipelines with linkage to the national grid system. These facilities will also handle gas from the CAFC field. Production start-up is expected in 2012. The CAFC project provides the construction of an oil treatment plant and will also benefit from synergies with MLE production facilities. Gas and oil production start-up of CAFC field are expected in 2012 and 2014, respectively. The overall Block 405b will target a production plateau of approximately 33 kboe/d net to Eni by 2015. El Merk, Block 208 – Algeria (Eni 12.25%) The scope of work provides for the construction of a gas treatment plant with a capacity of approximately 600 mmcf/d, two oil trains with a capacity of 65 kbbl/d and three export pipelines with linkage to the national system for a production of approximately 11 kbbl/d net to Eni. Start-up is expected in 2013. Kizomba satellites, Phase 1, Block 15 – Angola (Eni 20%) The Kizomba satellites development targets the Clochas and Mavacola oil discoveries. The project provides for the drilling of 18 producing wells to be linked to an FPSO vessel already deployed in this area. Associated gas will be initially re-injected in the reservoirs in the Kizomba area, and later delivered to the A-LNG liquefaction plant. Start-up is expected by mid 2012 and production to peak at 100 kbbl/d (approximately 21 kbbl/d net to Eni) in 2013.

production, with a break-even price of $45 per barrel. The pipeline of projects is geographically diversified,
with 20% of new production coming from developments in
OECD Countries, and 30% from Russia and the Caspian area.
However, while our production is geographically
diversified it is also focused on a number of key hubs
(Yamal Peninsula in Russia, Barents Sea in Norway,
Kazakhstan and Venezuela), with synergies in terms of
geological and local expertise, infrastructure and
relationships with local communities, and which will give
a material contribution to long-term production. We expect that costs to develop and operate fields

Eni in 2011 Business review / Exploration & Production

Goliat, Prospecting License 229 – Norway (Eni 65%, Op.) Goliat represents the first oil development in the Barents Sea. We have already obtained governmental approval. The project is progressing according to schedule. Development provides for the use of a cylindrical FPSO unit linked to an underwater production system. Gas produced will be injected in the field. Start-up is expected at the end of 2013 with production expected at 100 kbbl/d. Yamal Peninsula – Russia (Eni 29.4%) We have 5 giant gas and condensates fields to develop in Russia. In 2011 we finalized our gas sales agreements and took the final investment decision on the Samburgskoye field. Start-up was achieved in April 2012 with an expected peak production of approximately 43 kboe/d (14 kboe/d, net to Eni). In addition, the Final Investment Decision of the onshore gas and condensate Urengoskoye field was sanctioned. Start-up is expected in 2014. Activities are progressing also on the Yaro-Yakhinskoye field. Oil production start-up is expected by the end of 2012, while first gas production in 2014. Lastly the Severo field will be in production by the end of 2015 and the definition of the field development plan is progressing. The Yamal hub will be provide over 120 kboe/d by 2015 and we confirm our expectation of long-term plateau of approximately 200 kboe/d. Junin 5 – Venezuela (Eni 40%) We established a joint-venture with the Venezuelan National Oil Company PDVSA for the development of the giant Junin 5 oil field, located in the Orinoco Oil Belt with certified volumes of oil in place of 35 billion barrels. First oil is expected in 2012 at an initial rate of 75 kbbl/d, targeting a long-term production plateau of 240 kbbl/d by 2018. Perla – Venezuela (Eni 50%) Perla is a giant gas field which was discovered by an Eni-participated joint venture in 2009 off the Venezuelan coast in the Gulf of Venezuela. The final investment decision for the first development phase was sanctioned in the year and a Gas Sale Agreement was signed. EPC contracts for the project are being awarded. The early production phase includes the utilization of the already successfully drilled wells and the installation of production platforms linked by pipelines to the onshore treatment plant. The target production of approximately 300 mmcf/d is expected in 2014. The investment plan for the first development phase is estimated at $1.4 billion. The development of Perla is currently planned to continue with two more phases by means of the drilling of additional wells and the upgrading of treatment facilities to reach a plateau production of 1,200 mmcf/d.

2011 Highlights

Agreement with Gazprom In March 2012, as part of their strategic partnership, Eni and Gazprom signed agreements to revise gas supply contracts with retroactive effects from the beginning of 2011. The parties also agreed on a roadmap to commence construction of the South Stream gas pipeline with the Final Investment Decision (FID) expected by the end of 2012. Divestment of international pipelines In 2011, Eni divested its interests in the international pipelines importing natural gas from Northern Europe (TENP and Transitgas) and Russia (TAG) to Italy as part of the agreements made with the European Commission in 2010. Total consideration amounted to approximately euro 1.5 billion. Belgium In January 2012, Eni finalized the acquisition of Nuon Belgium NV and Nuon Power Generation Wallon NV for an outlay of euro 214 million. The acquired entities engage in marketing gas and electricity mainly to residential customers and small enterprises in Belgium. 2011 performance The G&P segment posted a 39.8% drop in adjusted net profit to euro 1,541 million, due to sharply lower results of the Marketing business. This was negatively impacted by weak demand and continuing competitive pressures fuelled by oversupply which pressured selling margins and reduced volumes opportunities. The performance was also affected by the disruption in Libyan gas. Furthermore, the results reflected only a part of the benefits associated with the renegotiations of gas supply contracts, certain of which have been finalized after 2011 year-end. These lower results were partly offset by the positive operating performance delivered by the International transport and Regulated businesses in Italy. Worldwide gas sales were basically stable at 96.76 bcm supported by commercial initiatives, despite lower consumption and competitive pressures. We grew in many European Countries and in international LNG

sales, while off-takes from importers to Italy of Libyan gas fell sharply. Return On Average Capital Employed (ROACE) was 5.6% (9.8% in 2010). Capital expenditures amounted to euro 1,721 million for developing and upgrading transport and distribution networks in Italy, increasing storage capacity and improving efficiency standards in power generation. Electricity sales of 40.28 TWh increased by 0.74 TWh from 2010, up 1.9%. Gas volumes transported in Italy were 78.30 bcm, down by 6% from 2010 due to a steep decline in gas demand in Italy.

Strategies

Eni’s Gas & Power segment engages in all phases of the gas value chain: supply, trading and marketing of gas and electricity, gas infrastructures, and LNG supply and marketing. This segment also includes power generation activity, which is ancillary to the marketing of electricity. Eni’s leading position in the European gas market is underpinned by a set of competitive advantages, including our multi-Country approach, long-term gas availability, access to infrastructures, market knowledge, and a strong customer base. Furthermore, integration with our upstream operations provides valuable growth options whereby the Company targets to monetize its large gas reserves. The outlook in the European gas sector is challenging due to ongoing competitive pressures, while perspectives of a recovery in gas demand are muted due to macroeconomic uncertainties. Against this backdrop, we expect weak and volatile gas margins over the short and medium term. We have been implementing a number of initiatives to cope with this unfavorable environment targeting to gradually recover profitability of our marketing operations over the plan period. Firstly, we are committed to renegotiate better economic terms for the Company’s gas purchase contracts, so as to restore the competitiveness of the Company’s cost position. Secondly, we intend to strengthen our market position in the most valuable segments by upgrading our commercial efforts, improving service quality and retaining our large customer base particularly in retail. Finally, we will seek to boost margins by pursuing opportunities in the LNG market and deploying our trading capabilities aiming at capturing possible favorable trends in market prices and extracting value from our assets. Over the next four years, our strategy is to strengthen our leadership in the European gas markets, while managing through the downturn. We believe that this strategy will put us in a strong position to benefit once a market recovery begins. The strategic guidelines are: n To consolidate competitiveness of supply n To focus on key segments and markets n To recover profitability Our regulated businesses in gas transport, distribution and storage in Italy will continue focusing on network upgrading and efficient operations. However, we expect to exit these businesses due to a changed Italian regulatory environment in the near future. Finally our International transport business was downsized in 2011 following the divestment of our interests in the pipelines and carrier companies which transport gas from Northern Europe and Russia to core European consumer markets, including Italy. We expect that our residual activities in this business will continue to provide steady returns across the plan period. In the next four-year period, we plan to invest euro 7.2 billion in the business. Planned expenditures will be largely focused on regulated businesses with guaranteed returns, aiming at improving the system’s flexibility and also at expanding gas storage capacity in Italy. In the Marketing business, we will invest about euro 1 billion, mainly in the power generation sector to increase flexibility and plant efficiency.

Gas market trends
In 2011, gas demand in Europe fell by 10% (down by 6% in
Italy) due to the economic downturn which reduced
industrial output and power requirements. Other factors
behind demand weakness were the growing adoption of
renewable sources, a shift to coal in power generation
due to cost advantages, as well as unusual weather
conditions. The profitability of the gas sector in 2011 was severely
hit by a combination of lower demand, oversupply and a
high rate of liquidity at continental hubs. Reduced sales
opportunities forced operators to aggressively compete on pricing, particularly those operators which were exposed
to take-or-pay supply contracts. On their part, large
clients adopted opportunistic supply patterns, in order
to take advantage of the large availability of spot gas
on the marketplace. Those drivers led to a squeeze in
marketing margins due to decoupling trends between, on
one hand, the rising cost of gas supplies that are
indexed to the price of oil and its derivatives, as
provided by pricing formulas in long-term supply
contracts, and, on the other hand, weak selling prices at
continental hubs which have become the prevailing
benchmark

in selling contracts. Management forecasts that weak gas demand trends owing to decelerating economic growth, the persistence of oversupplies on the marketplace and strong competition will represent risk factors to the profitability outlook of the Company gas Marketing business over the next two to three years. However, we expect that things will start improving by 2014-2015. Demand will stage a medium term recovery driven by the secular growth trends of economic development and increasing use of gas in the production of electricity, also considering the ongoing commitment to reduce GHG emissions by EU Member States. Management expects EU demand to increase from around 500 bcm in 2011 to around 565 bcm by 2015, and to close to 600 bcm in 2020, corresponding to an average growth rate of approximately 2% across the period. Gas demand in Italy is expected to grow with an average rate of approximately 2% driven by power generation consumption which is expected to increase from approximately 28 bcm in 2011 to over 40 bcm in 2020. At the same time, we see European supplies tightening mainly due to: - increasing Far East demand, where we estimate that consumption will increase by 16%, or around 90 bcm within 2015, mainly driven by robust rates of economic development, as well as Japan’s shift to gas-fired electricity away from nuclear fuel. This will largely absorb the new LNG production coming on-stream in the region and attract some of the worldwide LNG supplies which are currently being delivered to Europe; - increasing domestic gas consumption in the Middle East and North Africa; - declining European domestic production; and - limited LNG capacity additions for the Atlantic basin. Domestic gas production in Europe will decline from the current level of 173 bcm by around 3% a year, to 156 bcm by 2015 and 130 bcm by 2020. LNG imports will level off after the peak in 2011, with capacity growth being absorbed by strong demand in the Far East and Latin America. In addition, incumbent European suppliers, in particular in Northern Africa, will struggle to increase exports because of strong domestic demand. In this context, our diversified long-term supply portfolio, our increased equity gas and our market leadership in key European countries will be significant competitive advantages, leading to growing profitability in our marketing business. generation customers and wholesalers by 13 bcm leveraging on our strong commercial platform in the largest consuming countries of traditional presence (Italy, France, Germany, UK, Spain, Belgium) and in our new, target markets (Netherlands, Austria and Hungary). Management also plans to increase Eni’s penetration in the European retail segment, growing our customer base by almost 30% in the next four years.

of natural gas were 96.76 bcm, down 0.30 bcm, or 0.3%.
Despite a 6% decline in natural gas demand, sales volumes
on the Italian market were substantially stable, to 34.68
bcm (up 0.39 bcm, or 1.1%) due to effective market
initiatives that led to higher sales to industrial
customers, wholesalers and to the power generation
segment. Sales to shippers were down 5.20 bcm, or 61.6%, due to
the impact of force majeure on Libyan supplies. Sales on target markets in Europe of 49.74 bcm showed a
positive trend, increasing by 7.9%, except for Benelux
where competitive pressure reduced Eni’s sale
portfolio. The main increases were recorded in Turkey,
France also due to the consolidation of Altergaz,
UK/Northern Europe, Germany/Austria and the Iberian
Peninsula. The outlook for natural gas sales in 2012 is uncertain
due to macroeconomic headwinds, weak demand growth and
continuing oversupplies. Against this backdrop,
management expects to achieve stable natural gas sales
compared to 2011. Management intends to seek to increase
sales volumes and market share in Italy and particularly
to retain and develop its retail customer base; outside
Italy the main drivers of growth will be sales expansion
in the key markets of France, Germany/Austria and Benelux
and opportunities in the Far East. Those increases will

| In
spite of a challenging market environment and rising
competitive pressures, over the next four years we intend
to strengthen our leading position in the European gas
market targeting to gradually recover profitability by
leveraging on the following initiatives: n on the supply side, we intend to
improve the competitiveness of our supply portfolio which
is the key factor to cope with the ongoing market
downturn and regain profitability once the European
market tightens. We believe that our supply portfolio
has: - to be competitive with spot prices; - to be flexible on take or pay volumes; and - to give both suppliers and buyers the option to
renegotiate more frequently if required by market
conditions. We have already made good progress on this
front. In the last two years, we have closed contract
renegotiations with the Libyan NOC, Sonatrach and, in
recent weeks, with Gazprom, which between them account
for almost 70% of our supply portfolio. Looking forwards,
we will continue to work on the competitiveness and
market reflectivity of our portfolio. We plan to open
negotiations with other of our suppliers in the second
part of 2012; n on the commercial side of our
equation we intend: - to consolidate our leading European position in the
business gas market, where we have a well balanced
portfolio in terms of geographies, customer segments and
contract durations. Over the plan period, we will drive
sales and market share gains by leveraging on the
multiple presence in a number of markets, the development
of a pan-European commercial platform, |

| In Europe, most of the
expected growth will be achieved in: n Germany/Austria , where Eni is
present through its affiliate GVS (Gasversorgung
Süddeutschland GmbH - Eni 50%), and a direct marketing
structure. We plan to drive growth in direct sales
leveraging on the quality of our commercial offer; n Benelux (Belgium, the Netherlands
and Luxembourg), where we will seek to strengthen our
leading position granted by the integration with
operations of Distrigas and of the recently acquired
Nuon, as well as to extract value from our logistics
assets and our presence at the continental hubs; n France , where we plans to expand
sales by growing volumes supplied to the business
segments and increasing retail customers leveraging on
the Altergaz integration and our direct commercial
presence; and n Turkey , where Eni is supplying
gas in joint venture with Gazprom to the local company
Bota through the Blue Stream pipeline. Gas is carried
from Russia across the Black Sea. |

| bcm of gas availability from
2010. Our contract portfolio has a residual life of
approximately 17 years and a pricing mechanism that
indexes the cost of gas to the price of crude oil and its
derivatives (gasoil, fuel oil, etc.). In 2011, Eni’s consolidated subsidiaries supplied
83.38 bcm of natural gas, representing an increase of
0.89 bcm, or 1.1% from 2010. | In addition, we
currently operate certain photovoltaic sites in Italy. We have an installed power capacity equal to 5.3
gigawatts 1 , and we plan a further capacity
expansion, targeting a fully operational capacity of 5.4
GW by 2016. Supplies of natural gas are expected to
amount to approximately 6 bcm/y from Eni’s
diversified supply portfolio. In the next four years we plan to complete the capacity
upgrading at the Ferrara, Bolgiano and Taranto sites and
to improve efficiency and flexibility of our facilities.
We are planning to retain an index of GHG emissions below
the target level of 415 gCO 2 /kWheq. We are
also planning to build a biomass power plant in Sardinia,
Italy, to complement the conversion of the Porto Torres
site into an innovative bio-based chemical complex. |

| LNG | |
| Eni is present
in all phases of the LNG business: liquefaction,
shipping, re-gasification and sale through operated
activities or interests in joint ventures and associates.
Eni’s presence in the business is tied to the
Company’s plans to develop its large gas reserve
base in Africa and elsewhere in the world. The LNG
business has been deeply impacted by the economic
downturn and oversupply affecting the European gas
market, as well as by structural modifications in the US
market where large availability of gas from
unconventional sources has reduced the Country’s
dependence on gas imports via LNG. At present, we participate through our affiliates in a
number of facilities located in Spain (regasification)
and Egypt (liquefaction). The Company has also access to
LNG supplies in Algeria and Qatar. Our main ongoing
interest in the LNG business is the joint Pascagoula
project with our Exploration & Production business
which is targeting the US market. The Pascagoula project envisages construction of
an LNG plant in Angola designed to produce 5.2 mmtonnes
of LNG (approximately 7.3 bcm/y) destined to the North
American market in order to monetize part of the
Company’s gas reserves. As part of the downstream
leg of the project, Eni signed a 20 year contract with
Gulf LNG to buy 5.8 bcm/y of the re-gasification capacity
at the Pascagoula plant in Mississippi. The start-up of
the re-gasification facility commenced in the fourth
quarter of 2011, while the upstream project in Angola
will start operations nextly. | Regulated businesses in Italy |
| | Eni,
through Snam SpA (Eni’s interest being 52.53%), a
company listed on the Italian Stock Exchange, operates
most of the Italian natural gas transport network, a
re-gasification terminal located in Panigaglia, an
extensive grid of local distribution networks and gas
underground storage deposits and related facilities. In the next four years, Snam plans to make capital
expenditures in the regulated businesses in the amount of
approximately euro 6.7 billion of which 1.4 billion will
be spent in 2012. These investments will be aimed at
improving the security and flexibility of the gas system,
by: (i) increasing gas transport capacity by adding
approximately 1,000 kilometers of new lines to the
existing 32,000 kilometer-long network as at end of 2011
and by increasing the installed power of the compression
stations by around 4% versus 2011; and (ii) improving the
overall flexibility and security of the storage system
through an increase in both the modulation and peak
capacity and providing storage services to the industrial
market. |

| to the level required for
its flow; and (ii) four marine terminals linking
underwater pipelines with the on-land network at Mazara
del Vallo and Messina in Sicily and Favazzina and Palmi
in Calabria. In 2011, volumes of natural gas input in the
national grid (78.30 bcm) decreased by 5.01 bcm from 2010
due to declining domestic demand. Distribution Snam through Italgas and other subsidiaries operates
in the distribution activity in Italy, which involves the
delivery of natural gas to residential and commercial
customers in urban centers, serving 1,330 municipalities
through a low pressure network consisting of
approximately 50,300 kilometers of pipelines supplying
5.9 million customers and distributing 7.64 bcm in 2011. Storage Snam through Stogit, is the leading Italian operator
and one of the major operators in this sector in Europe.
Stogit provides storage and modulation services, pursuing
technical and economic efficiency, on the basis of the
concessions granted by the Italian Ministry of Economic
Development. Storage operations are provided through
depleted gas fields and proper infrastructures and
facilities such as treatment and compression plants, and
connections to the national transport network. Access to
the gas storage service enables suppliers to configure
their supplies in order to effectively manage seasonal
patterns in gas consumption. Stogit, with its eight
storage fields distributed throughout Italy can provide
the market with an integrated system that ensures the
flexibility requested by suppliers, in line with
available storage capacity. In 2011, 7.78 bcm (down 0.22
bcm from 2010) were input to the Company’s storage
deposits, while 7.53 bcm of gas were off-taken (slightly
lower than one year ago). In 2011, storage capacity
amounted to 15 bcm, of which 5 were destined to strategic
storage. The share of storage capacity used by third
parties was 78% (71% in 2010). Snam is planning to update
the flexibility and security of the storage system
through an increase in both modulation and peak capacity
and providing storage services to the industrial market. |

2011 Highlights

Financial and operating results In 2011, our Refining & Marketing Division reported sharply lower adjusted operating losses at minus euro 262 million. The performance was hit by unprofitable refining margins due to rising costs for oil-based feedstock and energy utilities that could not be transferred to prices at the pump pressured by weak demand and excess capacity in the Mediterranean basin. We continued upgrading our network of retail stations by rebranding, our outlets to the "eni" logo and improving quality standards and layout. Since the start of the program in 2010, 1,700 stations have been rebranded. Effective marketing actions helped us preserve our market share at 30.5% of the domestic consumption of fuels. Capital expenditure of euro 866 million related mainly to projects designed to improve the conversion capacity and flexibility of refineries, logistics, upgrade of the fuel distribution network in Italy and in the rest of Europe and initiatives in the field of health, safety and the environment. In spite of a weak outlook for refining margins, management plans to improve results of the Refining & Marketing Division by over euro 550 million by 2015 through efficiency improvements and plant optimizations.

Strategies

We refine and market fuels and other oil products primarily in Italy and Central-Eastern European countries. We are the largest refiner in Italy and the leading operator in the retail marketing of fuels with a market share of 30.5%. Our refining and marketing operations are fully integrated also through the support of a valuable set of logistic assets so as to maximize cost efficiencies. Supply of crude feedstock to our refineries and trading of product deficits/surpluses are ensured by our affiliate Eni Trading & Shipping. Our Refining & Marketing business has delivered poor results in recent years driven by a weak trading environment. High purchase costs for crude feedstock and oil-linked energy expenses have squeezed refining margins as product prices have lagged behind cost increases due to sluggish demand and excess capacity. At the same time our complex processes have been suffering from narrowing spreads between sour and sweet crudes. The outlook for the next four years remains challenging as we expect that refining margins will stage only

| a modest recovery from currently depressed levels.
Against this backdrop, we intend to return to
profitability and positive free cash flow generation
targeting to improve our operating results by around euro
550 million by 2015 assuming a constant trading
environment. The levers to achieve this target are
continuing efficiency improvements, plant optimizations
and selective capital expenditures to expand margins in
our refining operations. In marketing we intend to
consolidate the profitability of our operations mainly
through network upgrading, expansion of our non-oil
activities and growing selectively outside Italy. Our strategic guidelines are: n Improve profitability of our refining
business leveraging on efficiency and optimization n Consolidate our leading position in
the Italian retail market n Selectively develop our presence
outside Italy n Pursue safe and reliable operations In the 2012-2015 period, we plan to make capital
expenditures amounting to euro 2.8 billion, in line with
the previous plan, carefully selecting capital projects.
Management plans to invest approximately euro 2 billion
to upgrade the Company’s best refineries mainly by
completing and starting-up the EST (Eni Slurry
Technology) project at the Sannazzaro unit which will
upgrade the conversion capacity of the refinery, as well
as improving plant efficiency, flexibility and
reliability. Retail activities will attract some 25% of
the planned expenditure which will be mainly directed to
upgrade and modernize our service stations in Italy and
in selected European Countries, and to complete the
network rebranding. |
| --- |
| . n Industry trends In recent years, our refining activity has suffered
from an industry-wide downturn due to surging costs for
oil feedstock and energy utilities, poor demand for
refined products in the face of an economic slowdown and
excess capacity. Furthermore, the profitability of our
complex refineries was negatively impacted by narrowing
price differentials between sweet and sour crude
qualities. As a result of those trends, refining margins
have plunged to historical lows. Looking forward, we anticipate that a sector recovery
will not materialize until 2014 or 2015 as macroeconomic
uncertainties are expected to weigh on demand for fuels
and high costs for oil and energy utilities continue to
pressure refining margins. In the meantime, the industry
will undergo an unavoidable restructuring process to
eliminate marginal and obsolete refineries and rebalance
an ongoing surplus of gasoline with a shift vs. higher
yields of middle distillates. Over the long-term, we
expect that refining margins will stage a gradual
recovery across Europe and in the Mediterranean basin due
to the reopening of spreads between sweet and sour crudes
and a devaluation of fuel oil on the marketplace due to
increasingly strict environmental regulations,
particularly in the sector of power generation where fuel
oil is expected to be progressively replaced by gas as
well as in bunker consumption where new rules will
mandate the use of middle distillates. n Planned actions In the face of a weak market outlook and high and
volatile oil costs, we intend to implement all the
necessary actions and initiatives to restore the
profitability of our refining operations by: - pursuing integration of refinery cycles in order to
maximize the value of internally-produced semi-finished
products and other feedstock; - maximizing refinery flexibility and conversion to take
advantage of the availability of discounted crudes on the
marketplace. The start-up of our Eni Slurry Technology
conversion unit at the Sannazzaro refinery will
significantly upgrade our system and ability to process
heavy and extra-heavy crudes; - improving energy efficiency and plant safety and
reliability; - reducing fixed costs by rationalizing logistics and
pursuing other cost measures in maintenance, fixed
industrial expenses and labor; - strictly selecting capital expenditures; and - boosting margins leveraging on risk management
activities. |

Eni in 2011 Business review / Refining & Marketing

| n Our assets ITALY Eni’s refining system in Italy consists of five
wholly-owned refineries and a 50% interest in the Milazzo
refinery in Sicily. Each of Eni’s refineries in
Italy have operating and strategic features that aim at
maximizing the value associated to the asset structure,
the geographic positioning with respect to end markets
and the integration with Eni’s other activities. SANNAZZARO : the refinery has balanced
refining capacity of 190 kbbl/d and a conversion index of
59%. Management believes that this unit is among the most
efficient refineries in Europe. Located in the Po Valley,
it supplies markets in North-Western Italy and
Switzerland. The high degree of flexibility and
conversion capacity of this refinery enables to process a
wide range of feedstock. From a logistical standpoint
this refinery is located along the route of the Central
Europe Pipeline, which links the Genoa terminal with
French speaking Switzerland. This refinery contains two
primary distillation plants and relevant facilities,
including three desulphurization units. Conversion is
obtained through a fluid catalytic cracker (FCC), two
hydrocrackers (HdCK), which enable middle distillate
conversion and a visbreaking thermal conversion unit with
a gasification facility using the heavy residue from
visbreaking (tar) to produce syn-gas to feed the nearby
EniPower power plant at Ferrera Erbognone. Eni is
developing a conversion plant employing the Eni Slurry
Technology with a 23 kbbl/d capacity for the processing
of extra heavy crude with high sulphur content producing
high quality middle distillates, in particular gasoil,
and reducing the yield of fuel oil to zero. Start-up of
this facility is scheduled by the end of 2012. In
addition the Short Contact Time-Catalytic Partial
Oxidation project is underway for the production of
hydrogen. TARANTO : the refinery has balanced refining
capacity of 120 kbbl/d and a conversion index of 72%.
This refinery can process a wide range of crude and other
feedstock. It principally produces fuels for automotive
use and residential heating purposes for the Southern
Italian markets. Besides its primary distillation plants
and relevant facilities, including two units for the
desulphurization of middle distillates, this refinery
contains a two-stage thermal conversion plant
(visbreaking/thermal cracking) and an RHU conversion
plant for the conversion of high sulphur content residues
into valuable products and catalytic cracking feedstocks.
It processes most of the oil produced in Eni’s Val
d’Agri fields carried to Taranto through the Monte
Alpi pipeline (in 2011, a total of 2.5 mmtonnes of this
oil were processed). GELA : the refinery has balanced refining capacity
of 100 kbbl/d and a conversion index of 142%. This
refinery is located on the Southern coast of Sicily and
is integrated with upstream operations as it processes
heavy crude produced from Eni’s nearby offshore and
onshore fields in Sicily. Its high conversion level is
ensured by an FCC unit with go-finer for feedstocks
upgrading and two coking plants enabling conversion of
heavy residues topping or vacuum residues. The power
plant of this refinery also contains residue and exhaust
fume treatment plants (so-called SNOx) which allow full
compliance with the tightest environmental standards,
removing almost all sulphur and nitrogen composites
coming from the coke burning-process. An upgrade of the
Gela refinery is underway by means of a refurbishment of
its power plant, substantially renewing pet-coke boilers,
aimed at increasing profitability maximizing synergies
deriving from the integration of refining and power
generation. OUTSIDE ITALY In Germany, Eni holds an 8.33% interest in the Schwedt refinery and a 20% interest in Bayernoil , an
integrated pole that includes the Vohburg and Neustadt

| We are the leader in the retail marketing of refined
products in Italy with a 30.5% market share. We market a
wide range of refined petroleum products, through an
extensive network of operated service stations,
franchises and other distribution systems. We intend to consolidate our lead in the Italian retail
market by continuing investments in network upgrading and
modernization, as well as improving quality standards and
layout of our outlets. As part of this strategy, we plan
to complete our network rebranding and restyling, to
increase the automation of stations and to expand non-oil
activities under the "eni" brand. Outside Italy, we intend to continue growing our share in
the markets of interest to the Company while assessing a
possible divestment of marginal activities. n Retail - Italy In 2011, the re-branding of Eni’s service
stations continued. We plan that by the end of 2012 80%
of our proprietary service stations will have been
re-branded to the "eni brand". In the context
of weak domestic demand for fuels and rising competition,
management plans to preserve the market share achieved in
2011 (30.5%). This target factors in a planned reduction
of approximately 500 outlets. We expect that effective
marketing campaign, the development of the non-oil
offering and continuing network upgrading will underpin
our market share and client retention. We will continue

Eni in 2011 Business review / Refining & Marketing

on our successful promotional initiative "you&eni", a fidelity program which rewards the most loyal customers with prizes commensurated to their purchases of fuels and convenience items. The "you&eni" cards that made at least one transaction in the year were approximately 6.5 million at December 31, 2011, while the average number of active cards was approximately 2.6 million on a monthly basis. Volumes sold under the fidelity program represented approximately 39% of total throughputs. In 2011, retail sales in Italy of 8.36 mmtonnes decreased by approximately 270 ktonnes, down 3.1% driven by lower consumption of gasoil and gasoline, in particular in highway service station related to the decline in freight transportation. At December 31, 2011, Eni’s retail network in Italy consisted of 4,701 service stations, 159 more than at December 31, 2010 (4,542 service stations).

n Retail - outside Italy Eni’s strategy in the rest of Europe is focused on selectively growing its market share, particularly in Germany and Eastern Countries (e.g. Czech Republic) leveraging on the synergies ensured by the proximity of these markets to Eni’s production and logistic facilities. In 2011, retail sales of refined products marketed in the rest of Europe (3.01 mmtonnes) were down 2.9% (approximately 90 ktonnes) from 2010. Volume additions in Austria, reflecting the purchase of service stations, were offset by lower sales in Germany due to certain lease contract terminations, in France due to the rationalization of service stations with lower throughput and in Eastern Europe due to declining demand. At December 31, 2011, Eni’s retail network in the rest of Europe consisted of 1,586 units. n Non-oil Non-oil activities have become an integral part of our retail business. We have been upgrading our offering of non-oil products and services by carefully selecting our partners and improving quality and reach of the offering. Our most important service stations in Italy are equipped with franchised outlets, which market a wide range of food items, services and other merchandise. We have two main format: " enicafé ", a format which is present at 350 stations following upgrading of bars and stores; " enicafé&shop ", a format including corners for the sale of food and car-care products in 200 Eni outlets. In 2011 Eni also launched a new self-service option h24 of food, non-food and personal care products by installing Eni branded vending machines in 150 outlets with the aim of extending this service to over 1,000 outlets in the next two years. Non-oil activities in the rest of Europe are present in 1,101 service stations (Eni owned network), of which 321 are in Germany and 144 in France. n Wholesale and other businesses Fuels Eni markets gasoline and other fuels on the wholesale market in Italy, including diesel fuel for automotive use and for heating purposes, for agricultural vehicles and for vessels and fuel oil. Major customers are resellers, agricultural users, manufacturing industries, public utilities and transports, as well as final users (transporters, condominiums, farmers, fishers, etc.). Eni provides its customers with its expertise in the area of fuels with a wide range of products that cover all market requirements. Along with traditional products provided with the high quality Eni standard, there is also an innovative low environmental impact line, which includes AdvanceDiesel especially targeted for heavy duty public and private transports. Customer care and product distribution is supported by a widespread commercial and logistical organization presence all over Italy and articulated in local marketing offices and a network of agents and concessionaires. In 2011, sales volumes on wholesale markets in Italy (9.36 mmtonnes) were down by approximately 90 ktonnes from 2010, or 1%, mainly reflecting a decline in demand from transportations and industrial customers due to economic slowdown and strong competitive pressure which particularly affected bunkering and bitumen, but also LPG due to unusual weather conditions. Jet fuel and fuel oil sales increased, while gasoil sales dropped starkly in 2011. Eni’s wholesale market share for 2011 averaged 28.3%, down 0.9 percentage points from 2010 (29.2%). LPG In Italy, Eni is leader in LPG production, marketing and sale with 601 ktonnes sold for heating and automotive use equal to a 18.9% market share. An additional 214 ktonnes of LPG were marketed through other channels mainly to oil companies and traders. Outside Italy, LPG sales in 2011 amounted to 485 ktonnes of which 384 ktonnes in Ecuador where LPG market share is around 37.5%. Lubricants Eni operates seven (owned and co-owned) blending plants, in Italy, Europe, North and South America and the Far East. With a wide range of products composed of over 650 different blends Eni masters international state-of-the-art know-how for the formulation of products for vehicles (engine oil, special fluids and transmission oils) and industries (lubricants for hydraulic systems, industrial machinery and metal processing). Oxygenates Eni, through its subsidiary Ecofuel (Eni’s interest 100%), sells approximately 1.7 mmtonnes/y of oxygenates mainly ethers (approximately 5.3% of world demand) and methanol (approximately 0.9% of world demand). About 80% of products are manufactured in Italy in Eni’s plants in Ravenna, in Venezuela (in joint venture with Pequiven) and Saudi Arabia (in joint venture with Sabic) and the remaining 20% is bought and resold. Eni also distributes bio-ETBE on the Italian market in compliance with the new legislation indicating the minimum content of bio-fuels. Bio-ETBE is a kind of MTBE that gained a relevant position in the formulation of gasoline in the European Union, due to the fact that it is produced from ethanol from agricultural crops and qualified as bio-component in the European directive on bio-fuels. Starting from March 1, 2010, Italian regulation on bio-fuels content has been changed from 3% to 3.5%. Through bio-ETBE and FAME blending into fossil fuels Eni covered the compliance within 96% in 2011. From January 1, 2012, the compulsory content of bio-fuels has increased to 4.5% from 2011 4%. Eni is addressing the new need through bio-ETBE, FAME and direct blending of ethanol in gasolines.

2011 Highlights

In 2011 injury rates of employees and contractors continued to follow the positive trends of previous years (down 4.5% and 22.6%, respectively). In 2011 emissions of greenhouse gases NMVOC, NO x and SO x decreased due to lower sale volumes and to energy saving interventions performed in the year. In 2011 the percentage of reused water was approximately 80%, barely unchanged from previous years. In 2011 the sector reported a significant increase in adjusted net loss (euro 208 million, up euro 123 million) from 2010, due to higher supply costs of oil-based feedstock which were not recovered in sale prices on end markets in a context of substantial decrease in demand. Sales of petrochemical products were 4,040 ktonnes, down 691 ktonnes, or 14.6%, from 2010 due to lower demand. Petrochemical production volumes were 6,245 ktonnes, decreasing by 975 ktonnes, or down 13.5%, due to a decline in demand for petrochemical products in all business, with the only exception of elastomers (up 1%). In 2011, the average plant utilization rate decreased from 72.9 to 65.3 due to reduced production in a phase of economic slowdown. In 2011 overall expenditure in R&D amounted to approximately euro 32 million in line with the previous year. A total of new 13 patent applications were filed. On April 5, 2012 Polimeri Europa changed its name in Versalis SpA.

Strategies

Eni operates in the businesses of olefins and aromatics, basic and intermediate products, polystyrene, elastomers and polyethylene. Its major production sites are located in Italy and Western Europe. The trading environment in which the Company operates is characterized by volatility of costs of oil-based feedstock, cyclicality in demand, strong competitive pressures from operators with lower cost structure especially in the Middle-East leveraging on stranded gases, taking into account the commoditized nature of many of Eni’s products. In fact, Eni’s profitability

Eni in 2011 Business review / Petrochemicals

in the petrochemical businesses is particularly sensitive to movements in product margins that are mainly affected by changes in oil-based feedstock costs and the speed at which product prices adjust to higher oil prices. In order to change this challenges in the future years the Company will pursue the following strategic pillars: n Effectively and efficiently manage operations in order to lower the break-even n Strengthen the production of higher value added products n Leverage on international expansion n Focus on green-chemistry To target those objectives, management plans to make capital expenditures amounting to approximately euro 1.7 billion over the next four years. The main investment regards the conversion of the Porto Torres unit in Sardinia, Italy, into an innovative bio-based chemical complex to produce bio-plastics and other bio-based chemical products for which significant growth is expected in the medium-long term. In addition, the Company plans to develop the product line in the elastomers and monomers businesses, revamp the efficiency of the Company’s cracking units as well as complying with all applicable regulations on environment, health and safety issues. Management is planning to implement a strategy intended to refocusing the petrochemical business, strengthening the product mix of the Company by developing higher value added products, particularly in the businesses of elastomers, styrenics, resins, EVA and entering into bio-based chemical production. In the next years products demand in those higher value-added segments is planned to grow and margins to be resilient also with higher feedstock prices. Management expects sales of higher value added products to improve by 50% within 2015, with a contribution on total sales amounting to 40% and to deliver euro 400 million of additional operating profit by 2015 at the scenario experienced in 2011.

| n Basic petrochemicals Basic petrochemicals accounts for one of the pillars
of the petrochemical activities of Versalis, whose
products have a range of important industrial uses, such
as the production of polyethylene, polypropylene and
polystyrene. They are also used in the production of
petrochemical intermediates that converge, in turn, into
a range of other productive processes: plastics, rubbers,
fibers, solvents and lubricants. Basic petrochemicals revenues (euro 2,987 million)
increased by euro 154 million from 2010 (up 5.4%) in all
main business segments due to the steep increase in
average unit prices (olefins/aromatics up 20%,
intermediates up 16%) as a result of an improved
scenario, partly offset by lower volumes sold (down 18%
on average). In particular, a decline was reported in
sales volumes of olefins (ethylene down 22%; butadiene
down 57% due to the lack of raw material) and
intermediates (down 21% on average, in particular phenol
and acetone). |

research and development ("R&D") and
continuous innovation represent key success factors in
implementing Eni’s business strategies as they
support our long-term competitive performance. The Company believes that the oil industry has to face a
number of challenges in the near future and that
technology will play a vital role in helping it to
effectively manage them. In particular: n continuing uncertainty about the future
evolution of prices and demand for oil and gas; n limited access to new hydrocarbon
resources, with the consequent problems for production
growth and reserve replacement; n a growing importance of renewable
sources in satisfying energy need, as well as the role of
unconventional resources; and n greater attention to operations safety
in the aftermath of recent accidents in the industry. Against this backdrop, management has identified key
technology priorities: • continued technological innovation to increase the
recovery factor; to develop drilling technologies to be
applied in complex environments and deep/ultra-deep
offshore areas; to maximize asset value, especially for
gas and marginal fields and by reducing time-to-market; • implementation of new technologies to minimize the
environmental footprint of Eni’s operations,
actively manage risks to employees and communities’
health and safety; • develop technologies to reduce Greenhouse gas
emissions in industrial operations with particular
reference to energy efficiency, gas flaring reduction and
CO 2 use; • focusing on innovative fuels and bio-fuels
enhancing performance and environmental quality to
anticipate stricter regulation; • commitment to develop a potentially breakthrough
technologies in the renewable energy (solar and
bio-mass). The relevant results achieved in certain
research projects, enable us to start up the application
phase; • strengthening of strategic alliances and
scientific cooperation projects with international
academic institutions and research centers which we
believe are qualified in the marketplace. In 2011, Eni filed 79 patent applications (88 in 2010),
37 of these coming from Eni Divisions and Eni Corporate,
13 from Petrochemicals and 28 from the Engineering &
Construction activities of Saipem. In particular, 51% of
Eni Divisions and Eni Corporate patents concerned
exploration activities of unconventional resources,
maximizing the recovery factor, transportation and
products/processes in the downstream oil segment and 41%
were innovation on renewable energy sources. The efficacy
and efficiency of intellectual property management and of
know-how dissemination are monitored within the R&D
performance assessment system. In 2011, the review of
Eni’s portfolio was performed following two key

Eni in 2011 Research and development

Gas & Power Eni Corporate
n Eni
Kassandra meteo forecast . Since 2009 Eni has been
developing a new climate weather forecast system in
collaboration with the Italian Weather Operations Centre
(MOPI) to gain know-how regarding the temperature trend
on a regional and seasonal scale. Eni developed "Eni
Kassandra meteo forecast", a proprietary system for
forecasting temperatures from meteorological and climate
data. The system has been validated in 2011 at the
European level and is going to be used in the management
and sale of energy resources obtaining competitive
advantages in both gas and power businesses. n Pipeline monitoring . With the aim
of guaranteeing excellent quality standards and efficient
transport services, as part of its activity of pipeline
monitoring, Eni developed theoretical models of
acoustic-elastic transmission in pipes used for gas and
oil transport as well as algorithms for remote
localization of impacts and fluid leaks along the pipe.
The prototypal system of this monitoring technology will
be applied on transport and production pipes in Eni
plants in Italy, Tunisia and Nigeria. In addition,
studies were also completed on new acoustic sensors with
Wi-Fi remote control for offshore pipes that cannot be
checked with PIG (Pipeline Inspection Gauges), and radar
technologies for remote monitoring of vibrations and pipe
displacement. n Photoactive
materials . A Luminescent Solar Concentrator consists
of a slab of transparent material (polymeric or glassy)
doped with fluorescent molecules, patented by Eni, which
works as microscopic light emitters. The emitted
radiation is partially concentrated within the slab by
total internal reflections and is waveguided toward its
edges where PV cells are placed. LSCs allow for a
substantial decrease in standard PV module costs by
reducing the effective cell surface with respect to the
absorbing surface. The positive results obtained at lab
level allow the commencement of a demonstration phase. n Micro-organisms for bio-diesel .
Purpose of the project is the use of micro-organisms
(yeasts and bacteria) that accumulate lipids similar to
those deriving from oil-bearing vegetables, that can
easily be turned into bio-diesel. The raw material
employed by these micro-organisms derives from the
treatment of wood-cellulose bio-mass in order to not
compete with food products. The identified yeasts have
higher productivity than the traditional oil crops,
including palm oil. n Photoproduction of hydrogen . This
project has breakthrough content for water splitting into
O 2 and H 2 . New materials were
synthesized for innovative photoelectrodes and
demonstration cells were constructed. The new materials
(e.g. titanium oxide, tungsten, and iron), based on
original processes that use nanotechnology, have lead to
interesting efficiency levels in the conversion of solar
energy into chemical energy, up to the best levels
reached on a world basis.
Refining &
Marketing
Results derived
from the Eni-MIT alliance
n Eni Slurry Technology (EST) . The
EST proprietary technology is an innovative process for
hydro-conversion by means of a nanodispersed catalyst
(slurry) and a peculiar process scheme to refine various
kinds of heavy feedstock: residues from the distillation
of heavy and extra-heavy crude (such as the ones from the
Orinoco Belt in Venezuela) or non-conventional products
such as tar sands, characterized by high contents of
sulphur, nitrogen, metals, asphaltenes and other
pollutants that are hard to manage in conventional
refineries. EST does not produce by-products and
completely converts feedstocks into distillates. n Total Conversion . Successful
results have been obtained from the continuous operation
of the Slurry Dual Catalyst pilot plant: this technology,
based on the combination of two nanocatalysts could lead
to a relevant breakthrough in the EST process, increasing
its productivity and improving product quality. n Short Contact Time-Catalytic Partial
Oxidation (SCT-CPO) . It is a reforming technology
that can convert gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons (also
derived from bio-mass) into synthetic gas (carbon
monoxide and hydrogen). This technology can contribute to
process intensification as it allows to produce synthetic
gas and hydrogen using reactors up to 100 times smaller
than those currently in use, with relevant savings. The
development of this technology, that makes use of oxygen
enriched air, has been completed and another version
making use of pure oxygen is under development. n Zero
Waste project . For the treatment of industrial, oil
and biological waste generated by the oil industry a
thermal process has been studied that allows for the
gasification of sludge that is turned into an inert
residue. A patent application has been filed on this
project.
n Oil
spills in marine environment . The project derives
from the discovery of an innovative material with great
selective capacity for the absorption of oil dispersed in
water. This could be a first step towards new systems for
treating oil spills in marine environments. n Ultraflexible solar cell. One of
the most important results obtained by the Solar Frontier
Center: these cells made of a thin photoactive material
covered by a layer of transparent plastic can be bent
without breaking or reducing performance and this allows
to cover irregular surfaces without using metal stilts. n Solar
cells on paper. In this case the photoactive device
is made on paper as a printed document. The innovative
technique is the same used for producing cells on plastic
and flexible substrata. A paper cell can be a low cost
solution for application where the key aspect is not
duration but fast installation and easy transport.

Eni’s results of operations and the year to year comparability of its financial results are affected by a number of external factors which exist in the industry environment, including changes in oil, natural gas and refined products prices, industry-wide movements in refining and petrochemical margins and fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates. Changes in weather conditions from year to year can influence demand for natural gas and some petroleum products, thus affecting results of operations of the natural gas business and, to a lesser extent, of the refining and marketing business. In 2011, Eni’s results of operations were achieved on the back of stronger oil and gas realizations (up by 30% on average) driven by a 40% increase in the price of the Brent crude benchmark compared to 2010. Refining margins remained at unprofitable levels (the marker Brent margin was $2.06 per barrel; down 22.6% from 2010) due to high feedstock costs which were only partially transferred to prices at the pump. Eni’s margins at its high-conversion refineries were also hit by narrowing light-heavy crude differentials in the Mediterranean area. In Europe, gas spot prices which have become the benchmark in contractual selling formulas increased by 37.7% compared with the depressed levels registered in 2010. This positive trend was not reflected in Eni’s gas selling margins due to higher oil-linked supply costs and rising competitive pressure. Results were also affected by the appreciation of the euro vs. the US dollar (up 4.9%).

Eni in 2011 Group results for the year

2011 Results

In 2011, net profit attributable to Eni’s shareholders was euro 6,860 million, an increase of euro 542 million from 2010, or 8.6%. This increase was driven by an improved operating performance (up euro 1,324 million, or 8.2%) reported by the Exploration & Production Division which was boosted by higher oil prices. The Group’s results were also helped by lower extraordinary pre-tax charges which were down by approximately euro 1 billion year-on-year and a gain of euro 1,044 million recorded on the divestment of Eni’s interests in the international pipelines which transport gas from Northern Europe and Russia. These positives were partly offset by sharply lower results posted by the Group’s downstream businesses, higher net finance charges (down euro 402 million) and higher income taxes (down euro 1,517 million). Adjusted net profit attributable to Eni’s shareholders amounted to euro 6,969 million, an increase of euro 100 million from 2010, or 1.5%. Adjusted net profit was calculated by excluding an inventory holding profit of euro 724 million and net special charges of euro 833 million, thus totaling to a positive adjustment of euro 109 million.

Special charges of the operating profit mainly related to: (i) impairment losses of euro 1,022 million, which were recorded to write down the book values of certain tangible and intangible assets to their lower value-in-use mainly in the refining and gas marketing businesses. These charges reflected our reduced profitability outlook in these businesses driven by a deteriorating macroeconomic environment, volatile commodity prices, and rising competitive pressures. Other impairment losses regarded a number of oil&gas properties in the Exploration & Production Division reflecting a changed pricing environment and downward reserve revisions; (ii) provisions for redundancy incentives (euro 209 million), including a liability which was taken in connection with the 2010-2011 personnel mobility program in Italy to reflect changed pension requirements as per Law Decree No. 201 of December 2011; (iii) environmental and other risk provisions amounting to euro 274 million.

The increase in the Group adjusted net profit reflected a higher adjusted net profit mainly reported by: - the Exploration & Production Division (up euro 1,266 million, or 22.6%) driven by a better operating performance (up euro 2,193 million, or 15.8%), reflecting higher oil and gas realizations in dollar terms (up 40.3% and 7.7%, respectively). This trend was strong enough to fully absorb a reduced operating profit from the Libyan activities. Full year results were impacted by the negative effect of the appreciation of the euro against the dollar (up 4.9%, for an overall impact of approximately euro 490 million); - the Engineering & Construction business (up euro 104 million , or 10.5%) reported an improved operating performance (up euro 117 million , or 8.8%) driven by revenue growth and higher profitability of works executed. These increases were partly offset by a declining adjusted net profit reported by: - the Gas & Power Division reported sharply lower results due to a decline of euro 1,173 million in adjusted operating profit, down by 37.6%. The decrease was mainly caused by the Marketing business which was negatively impacted by weak demand and mounting competitive pressure fuelled by oversupply which squeezed selling margins and reduced volumes opportunities;

  • the Refining & Marketing Division reported sharply lower adjusted operating losses (from minus euro 49 million in 2010 to minus euro 262 million in 2011). This decrease reflected negative trends in the refining trading environment featured by depressed margins and poor demand for fuels due to weak underlying fundamentals; - the Petrochemical Division was also deeply in the red with reported operating losses down to minus euro 208 million in 2011, much worse than in 2010. The performance was negatively impacted by falling product margins, with the cracker margin severely hit by higher supply costs of oil-based feedstock which were not recovered in sales prices on end markets, and a substantial decrease in demand. n Capital expenditures In 2011, capital expenditures amounting to euro 13,438 million related mainly to: - development activities (euro 7,357 million) deployed mainly outside Italy, primarily in Norway, Kazakhstan, Algeria, the Unites States, Congo and Egypt. In addition we acquired certain blocks and paid entry bonuses following interest license awards amounting to euro 754 million, mainly in Nigeria; - exploratory activities (euro 1,210 million) of which 97% was spent outside Italy, were conducted primarily in Australia, Angola, Mozambique, Indonesia, Ghana, Egypt, Nigeria and Norway; - upgrading of the fleet used in the Engineering & Construction Division (euro 1,090 million); - development and upgrading of Eni’s natural gas transport network in Italy (euro 898 million) and distribution network (euro 337 million), the development and the increase of storage capacity (euro 294 million), as well as and the ongoing development of power generation plants (euro 87 million); - projects aimed at improving the conversion capacity and flexibility of refineries (euro 629 million), as well as building and upgrading service stations in Italy and outside Italy (euro 228 million).

n Sources and uses of cash The Company’s cash requirements for capital expenditures, dividends to shareholders, and working capital were financed by a combination of funds generated from operations, borrowings and divestments of non-strategic assets. In 2011, main inflows were associated with net cash provided by operating activities, which amounted to euro 14,382 million and proceeds from asset disposals (euro 1,912 million). These inflows were balanced by outflows for capital expenditures totaling euro 13,438 million, expenditures in joint venture projects (euro 360 million) and dividend payments amounting to euro 4,247 million to Eni shareholders (euro 3,695 million, of which euro 1,884 million relating to the 2011 interim dividend) and to non-controlling interest of Snam Rete Gas, Saipem and other consolidated subsidiaries (euro 552 million). As a result of these cash flows, net borrowings as of December 31, 2011 increased by euro 1,913 million compared to December 31, 2010. n Capital structure and ratios The Group continually monitors the balance between cash flow from operating activities, net expenditures, internally generated funds and dividend requirements targeting a sound and well-balanced financing structure. Eni’s net financial debt of euro 28 billion as of end of 2011 was associated with low risk activities as around euro 11 billion were attributable to Regulated businesses in Italy which ensure stable and solid cash flows that cover their investment needs and contribute to lower the risk profile of Eni’s portfolio. In addition, euro 3 billion of consolidated debt are attributable to Saipem, whose major ongoing investment program, relating to Offshore drilling and construction, will be completed by the end of the year. Finally, euro 14 billion of consolidated debt are attributable to Eni’s core operations and mainly linked to development projects under PSAs that have a safe and quick pay back period. In the foreseeable future, management is strongly focused on preserving a solid balance sheet and an adequate level of liquidity taking into account macroeconomic uncertainties and tight financial markets. For planning purposes, management projected the Company’s expected cash flows assuming a scenario of Brent prices at 90-85 $/bbl for the years 2012-2015 to assess the financial compatibility of its capital expenditures programs and dividend policy with internal targets of leverage (the ratio of net borrowings to total equity). As of December 31, 2011, the Group leverage was 0.46, compared to the level of 0.47 as of December 31, 2010.

In 2012, leverage is projected to be roughly in line with the level achieved at the end of 2011 assuming a Brent price of $90 a barrel. Looking forward, management will seek to progressively reduce this ratio to below 40% by the end of the plan period leveraging on the projected future cash flow from operations which are estimated to generate enough resources to fund both capital expenditures and dividends to Eni’s shareholders. Return On Average Capital Employed (ROACE) calculated on an adjusted basis was 9.9% (10.7% in 2010).

| n Dividends In the next four-year period management intends to
maintain its progressive dividend policy. Eni’s dividend policy in future periods, and the
sustainability of the current amount of dividends over
the next four-year period, will depend upon a number of
factors including future levels of profitability and cash
flow provided by operating activities, a sound balance
sheet structure, capital expenditures and development
plans. The parent Company’s net profit and,
therefore, the amounts of earnings available for the
payment of dividends will also depend on the level of
dividends received from Eni’s subsidiaries. However,
subject to such factors, under the Company’s
scenario for Brent prices at 90-85 $/bbl over the next
four years, management plans to grow the dividend in line
with OECD inflation from 2011 onwards. If management
assumptions on oil prices were to change, management may
revise the dividend and reset the basis for progressive
dividend increases. Management plans to pay a dividend of euro 1.04 a share
for 2011 subject to approval from the Annual General
Shareholders’ Meeting scheduled on May 8, 2012. Of
this, euro 0.52 per share was paid in September 2011 as
an interim dividend with the balance of euro 0.52 per
share expected to be paid late in May 2012. | are anticipated to remain at
unprofitable levels due to high costs of oil supplies,
sluggish demand and excess capacity. For investment planning purposes and short-term financial
projections, Eni assumes a full-year average price of $90
a barrel for the Brent crude benchmark. For the full year 2012, management expects a capital
budget almost in line with 2011 (in 2011 capital
expenditures amounted to euro 13.44 billion, while
expenditures incurred in joint venture initiatives and
other investments amounted to euro 0.36 billion). Management plans to continue spending on exploration to
appraise the mineral potential of recent discoveries
(Mozambique, Norway, Ghana and Indonesia) and investing
large amounts on developing growing areas and maintain
field plateaus in mature basins. Other investment
initiatives will target the upgrading of the gas
transport and distribution networks, the completion of
the EST project in the refining business, and
strengthening selected petrochemical plants. |

| Outlook for 2012 |
| --- |
| Management expects the 2012 outlook to be challenging due
to signs of a continuing economic slowdown, particularly
in the Euro-zone, and volatile market conditions.
Management expects international oil prices to be
supported by robust demand growth from China and other
emerging economies, as well as ongoing geopolitical risks
and uncertainties, partly offset by a recovery in the
Libyan output. Recovery perspectives look poor in the gas
sector. Gas demand is expected to be soft due to slow
economic activity and increasing competition from
renewable sources; in the meantime the marketplace
appears well supplied. Against this backdrop, management
expects ongoing margin pressures to continue in 2012, and
reduced sales opportunities due to rising competition.
Management foresees the persistence of a depressed
trading environment in the European refining business.

margin. The Group’s risk management objectives are to optimize the risk profile of its commercial activities by effectively managing economic margins and safeguarding the value of Eni assets. Also, as part of its risk management activities from 2011 the Group has commenced trading activities in order to seek to profit from short-term market opportunities. The Group’s risk management has evolved particularly in response to the deep changes occurred in the competitive landscape of the gas marketing business, gas volatile margins and development of liquid gas spot markets. To achieve these targets, Eni enters into commodity derivatives transactions in both commodity and financial markets: (i) to hedge the risk of variability in future cash flows on already contracted or highly probable future sales exposed to commodity risk depending on the circumstance that costs of supplies may be indexed to different market and oil benchmarks compared to the indexing of selling prices. As tight correlation exists between such commodity derivatives transactions and underlying physical contracts, those derivatives are treated in accordance with hedging accounting in compliance with IAS 39, where possible; and (ii) to pursue speculative purposes such as altering the risk profile associated with a portfolio of contracts (purchase contracts, transport entitlements, storage capacity) or leveraging any pricing differences in the marketplace, seeking to increase margins on existing assets in case of favorable trends in the commodity pricing environment or seeking a potential profit based on expectations of trends in future prices. The Company also intends to implement strategies of dynamic forward trading in order to maximize the economic value of the flexibilities associated with its assets. Price risks related to asset backed trading activities are mitigated by the natural hedge granted by the assets’ availability. These contracts may lead to gains as well as losses, which, in each case, may be significant. These derivatives are accounted for through profit and loss, resulting in higher volatility in Eni’s operating profit, particularly in the gas marketing business. Eni Trading & Shipping is the Group’s entity in charge of managing derivative activities targeting the full spectrum of energy commodities on both the physical and financial trading venues. The objective of this activity is to both hedge part of the Group exposure to the commodity risk and optimize commercial margins by entering speculative derivative transactions. Eni Trading & Shipping SpA and its subsidiaries also provide Group companies with crude oil and products supply, trading and shipping services. The results of this entity are reported within the Gas & Power segment with regard to the results recorded on trading gas and electricity derivatives; while the portion of results which pertains to oil and products trading derivatives and supply and shipping services are reported within the Refining & Marketing segment. As part of its financing and cash management activities, the Company uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. These instruments are principally interest rate and currency swaps. n Liquidity and counterparty risks Liquidity risk is the risk that suitable sources of funding for the Group may not be available, or the Group is unable to sell its assets on the marketplace in order to meet short-term financial requirements and to settle obligations. Such a situation would negatively impact the Group results of operations and cash flows as it would result in Eni incurring higher borrowing expenses to meet its obligations or, under the worst conditions, the inability of Eni to continue as a going concern. At present, the Group believes it has access to sufficient funding and has also both committed and uncommitted borrowing facilities to meet currently foreseeable borrowing requirements. At December 31, 2011, Eni maintained short-term committed and uncommitted unused borrowing facilities of euro 11,897 million, of which euro 2,551 million were committed, and long-term committed unused borrowing facilities of euro 3,201 million. These facilities bore interest rates that reflected prevailing market conditions. Fees charged for unused facilities were immaterial. Eni has in place a program for the issuance of Euro Medium Term Notes up to euro 15 billion, of which about euro 10.5 billion were drawn as of December 31, 2011. The Group has credit ratings of A and A-1 respectively for long and short-term debt assigned by Standard & Poor’s and A2 and P-1 assigned by Moody’s; the outlook is negative in both ratings. Credit risk is the potential exposure of the Group to losses in case counterparties fail to perform or pay amounts due. The Group manages differently credit risk depending on whether credit risk arises from exposure to financial counterparties or to customers relating to outstanding receivables. Individual business units and Eni’s corporate financial units and Eni Adfin are responsible for managing credit risk arising in the normal course of the business. The Group has established formal credit systems and processes to ensure that before trading with a new counterpart can start, its creditworthiness is assessed. Also credit litigation and receivable collection activities are assessed. Eni’s corporate units define directions and methods for quantifying and controlling customer’s reliability. With regard to risk arising from financial counterparties, Eni has established guidelines prior to entering into cash management and derivative contracts to assess the counterparty’s financial soundness and rating in view of optimizing the risk profile of financial activities while pursuing operational targets. Maximum limits of risk exposure are set in terms of maximum amounts of credit exposures for categories of counterparties as defined by the Company’s Board of Directors taking into accounts the credit ratings provided by primary credit rating agencies on the marketplace. Credit risk arising from financial counterparties is managed by the Group central finance departments, including Eni’s subsidiary Eni Trading & Shipping which specifically engages in commodity derivatives transactions and by Group companies and Division, only in the case of physical transactions with financial counterparties consistently with the Group centralized finance model. Eligible financial counterparties are closely monitored to check exposures against limits assigned to each counterparty on a daily basis. Exceptional market conditions have forced the Group to adopt contingency plans and under certain circumstances to suspend eligibility to be a Group financial counterparty. Actions implemented also have been intended to limit concentrations of credit risk by maximizing counterparty diversification and turnover. Counterparties have also been selected on more stringent criteria particularly in transactions on derivatives instruments and with maturity longer than a three-month period. As of December 31, 2011, Eni had no significant concentration of credit risk.

Eni prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union. Differences in certain respects between IFRS as endorsed by the EU and IFRS as issued by IASB are on matters that do not relate to Eni. On this basis, Eni’s financial statements are fully in compliance with IFRS as issued by IASB. The consolidated financial statements of Eni include accounts of the parent company Eni SpA and of all Italian and foreign significant subsidiaries in which Eni directly or indirectly holds the majority of voting rights or is otherwise able to exercise control as in the case of "de facto" controlled entities. Control comprises the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee so as to obtain benefit from its activities. Immaterial subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities, and other entities in which the group is in a position to exercise a significant influence through participation in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee are generally accounted for under the equity method. Revenues from sales of crude oil, natural gas, petroleum and petrochemical products are recognized when the products are delivered and title passes to the customer. Revenue recognition in the Engineering & Construction Division is based on the stage of completion of contracts as measured on the cost-to-cost basis applied to contractual revenues. Eni enters into various derivative financial transactions to manage exposures to certain market risks, including foreign currency exchange rate risks, interest rate risks and commodity risks. Such derivative financial instruments are assets and liabilities recognized at fair value starting on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are designated as hedges when the hedging relationship between the hedged item or transaction and the hedging instrument is highly effective and formally documented. Changes in the fair value of hedging derivatives are recognized: (i) for fair value hedges, hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability, in the profit and loss account; (ii) for cash flow hedges, hedging exposure to variability in cash flows, the effective portion is recognized directly in equity, while the ineffective portion is recognized in profit or loss; subsequently amounts taken to equity are transferred to the profit and loss account when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss. Changes in fair value of derivatives held for trading purposes, including derivatives for which the hedging relationship is not formally documented or is ineffective, are recognized in profit or loss. Inventories of crude oil, natural gas and oil products are stated at the lower of purchase or production cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined by applying the weighted-average cost method. Contract work in progress is recorded on the basis of contractual considerations by reference to the stage of completion of a contract measured on a cost-to-cost basis. Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization charges and impairment losses. Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas properties (capitalized costs incurred to obtain access to proved reserves and to provide facilities for extracting, gathering and storing oil and gas) is calculated based on the Unit-Of-Production (UOP) method on proved reserves or proved developed reserves. Other property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life. Exploration costs (costs associated with exploratory activities for oil and gas including geological and geophysical exploration costs and exploratory drilling well expenditures) are capitalized and fully amortized as incurred. Intangible assets are initially stated at cost. Intangible assets having a defined useful life are amortized systematically, based on the straight-line method. Goodwill and intangibles lacking a defined useful life are not amortized but are reviewed periodically for impairment. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets Eni assesses its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, including goodwill, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values of the assets may not be recoverable. Indications of impairment include changes in the Group’s business plans, changes in commodity prices leading to unprofitable performance and, for oil and gas properties, significant downward revisions of estimated proved reserve quantities. The recoverability of an asset or group of assets is assessed by comparing the carrying value with the recoverable amount represented by the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the Group makes an estimate of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the use of the asset on the basis of reasonable and documented assumptions that represent the best estimate of the future economic conditions during the remaining useful life of the asset, giving more importance to independent assumptions. Oil, natural gas and petroleum products prices used to quantify the expected future cash flows are estimated based on forward prices prevailing in the marketplace for the first four years of the estimate and management’s long-term planning

| assumptions thereafter.
Future cash flows are discounted at a rate that reflects
current market valuation of the time value of money and
those specific risks of the asset that are not reflected
in the estimation of future cash flows. The Group uses a
discount rate that is calculates as the weighted average
cost of capital to the Group (WACC), adjusted to reflect
specific country risks of each asset. Asset
retirement obligations , that may be incurred for the
dismantling and removal of assets and the reclamation of
sites, are evaluated estimating the costs to be incurred
when the asset is retired. Future estimated costs are
discounted if the effect of the time value of money is
material. The initial estimate is reviewed periodically
to reflect changes in circumstances and other factors
surrounding the estimate, including the discount rates.
The Company recognizes material provisions for asset
retirement in the upstream business. No significant asset
retirement obligations associated with any legal
obligations to retire refining, marketing and
transportation (downstream) and chemical long-lived
assets are generally recognized, as indeterminate
settlement dates for the asset retirement prevent
estimation of the fair value of the associated asset
retirement obligation. Provisions , including environmental
liabilities, are recognized when the group has a current
obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past
event, when it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefit will be required to settle the
obligation, and when the obligation can be reliably
estimated. The initial estimate to settle the obligation
is discounted when the effect of the time value of money
is material. The estimate is reviewed periodically to
take account of changes in costs expected to be incurred
to settle the obligation and other factors, including
changes in the discount rates. | | Eni is a party to a number
of legal proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of business. Based on information available to
date, and taking into account the existing risk
provisions, Eni’s management believes that ongoing
litigations will not have a material adverse effect on
Eni’s financial position and results of operations.
However, there can be no assurance that in the future Eni
will not incur material charges in connection with
pending litigations as new information becomes available
and new developments may occur. For further information
about pending litigations, see Note 34 - Legal proceedings - to the consolidated financial
statements of 2011 Eni’s Annual Report on Form 20-F
filed with the US SEC. The preparation of consolidated
financial statements requires the use of estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. Estimates made are
based on complex or subjective judgments, past
experience, other assumptions deemed reasonable in
consideration of the information available at the time.
The accounting policies and areas that require the most
significant judgments and estimates to be used in the
preparation of consolidated financial statements are in
relation to the accounting for oil and natural gas
activities, specifically in the determination of proved
and proved developed reserves, impairment of fixed
assets, intangible assets and goodwill, asset retirement
obligations, business combinations, pensions and other
postretirement benefits, recognition of environmental
liabilities and recognition of revenues in the oilfield
services construction and engineering businesses.
Although the Company uses its best estimates and
judgments, actual results could differ from the estimates
and assumptions used. For further information regarding accounting policies
and practices, see Note 3 - Summary of significant accounting policies - and Note 5 - Use of accounting estimates - to the consolidated financial statements of 2011

Non-GAAP measures

n Reconciliation of reported operating profit and reported net profit to results on an adjusted basis Management evaluates Group and business performance on the basis of adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit, which are arrived at by excluding inventory holding gains or losses and special items. Furthermore, finance charges on finance debt, interest income, gains or losses deriving from the evaluation of certain derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss (as they do not meet the formal criteria to be assessed as hedges under IFRS, excluding commodity derivatives), and exchange rate differences are all excluded when determining adjusted net profit of each business segment. The taxation effect of the items excluded from adjusted operating or net profit is determined based on the specific rate of taxes applicable to each of them. The Italian statutory tax rate is applied to finance charges and income (38% is applied to charges recorded by companies in the energy sector, whilst a tax rate of 27.5% is applied to all other companies). Adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit are non-GAAP financial measures under either IFRS, or US GAAP. Management includes them in order to facilitate a comparison of base business performance across periods, and to allow financial analysts to evaluate Eni’s trading performance on the basis of their forecasting models. In addition, management uses segmental adjusted net profit when calculating Return On Average Capital Employed (ROACE) by each business segment. The following is a description of items that are excluded from the calculation of adjusted results. Inventory holding gain or loss is the difference between the cost of sales of the volumes sold in the period based on the cost of supplies of the same period and the cost of sales of the volumes sold calculated using the weighted average cost method of inventory accounting. Special items include certain significant income or charges pertaining to either: (i) infrequent or unusual events and transactions, being identified as non-recurring items under such circumstances; or (ii) certain events or transactions which are not considered to be representative of the ordinary course of business, as in the case of environmental provisions, restructuring charges, asset impairments or write ups and gains or losses on divestments even though they occurred in past periods or are likely to occur in future ones. As provided for in Decision No. 15519 of July 27, 2006 of the Italian market regulator (Consob), non recurring material income or charges are to be clearly reported in the management’s discussion and financial tables. Also, special items include gains and losses on re-measurement at fair value of certain non-hedging commodity derivatives, including the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges and certain derivatives financial instruments embedded in the pricing formula of long-term gas supply agreements of the Exploration & Production Division. Finance charges or income related to net borrowings excluded from the adjusted net profit of business segments are comprised of interest charges on finance debt and interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents not related to operations. In addition, gains or losses on the fair value evaluation of the aforementioned derivative financial instruments, excluding commodity derivatives and exchange rate differences are excluded from the adjusted net profit of business segments. Therefore, the adjusted net profit of business segments includes finance charges or income deriving from certain segment-operated assets, i.e., interest income on certain receivable financing and securities related to operations and finance charge pertaining to the accretion of certain provisions recorded on a discounted basis (as in the case of the asset retirement obligations in the Exploration & Production Division). Finance charges or interest income and related taxation effects excluded from the adjusted net profit of the business segments are allocated on the aggregate Corporate and financial companies. For a reconciliation of adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit to reported operating profit and reported net profit see tables below.

n Summarized Group Balance Sheet The Summarized Group Balance Sheet aggregates the amount of assets and liabilities derived from the statutory balance sheet in accordance with functional criteria which consider the enterprise conventionally divided into the three fundamental areas focusing on resource investments, operations and financing. Management believes that this Summarized Group Balance Sheet is useful information in assisting investors to assess Eni’s capital structure and to analyze its sources of funds and investments in fixed assets and working capital. Management uses the Summarized Group Balance Sheet to calculate key ratios such as Return On Capital Employed (ROACE) and the proportion of net borrowings to shareholders’ equity (leverage) intended to evaluate whether Eni’s financing structure is sound and well-balanced.

Eni in 2011 Financial information

n Net borrowings and leverage Eni evaluates its financial condition by reference to net borrowings , which is calculated as total finance debt less: cash, cash equivalents and certain very liquid investments not related to operations, including among others non-operating financing receivables and securities not related to operations. Non-operating financing receivables consist of amounts due to Eni’s financing subsidiaries from banks and other financing institutions and amounts due to other subsidiaries from banks for investing purposes and deposits in escrow. Securities not related to operations consist primarily of government and corporate securities. Leverage is a measure used by management to assess the Company’s level of indebtedness. It is calculated as a ratio of net borrowings which is calculated by excluding cash and cash equivalents and certain very liquid assets from financial debt to shareholders’ equity, including non-controlling interest. Management periodically reviews leverage in order to assess the soundness and efficiency of the Group balance sheet in terms of optimal mix between net borrowings and net equity, and to carry out benchmark analysis with industry standards.

n Summarized Group Cash Flow Statement and Change in net borrowings Eni’s summarized Group cash flow statement derives from the statutory statement of cash flows. It enables investors to understand the link existing between changes in cash and cash equivalents (deriving from the statutory cash flow statement) and in net borrowings (deriving from the summarized cash flow statement) that occurred from the beginning of the period to the end of period. The measure enabling such a link is represented by the free cash flow which is the cash in excess of capital expenditure needs. Starting from free cash flow it is possible to determine either: (i) changes in cash and cash equivalents for the period by adding/ deducting cash flows relating to financing debts/receivables (issuance/repayment of debt and receivables related to financing activities), shareholders’ equity (dividends paid, net repurchase of own shares, capital issuance) and the effect of changes in consolidation and of exchange rate differences; and (ii) change in net borrowings for the period by adding/deducting cash flows relating to shareholders’ equity and the effect of changes in consolidation and of exchange rate differences. The free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure of financial performance.

n ROACE Return On Average Capital Employed for the Group, on an adjusted basis is the return on the Group average capital invested, calculated as ratio of net adjusted profit before non-controlling interests, plus net finance charges on net borrowings net of the related tax effect, to net average capital employed. The tax rate applied on finance charges is the Italian statutory tax rate of 34%. The capital invested, as of the period end, used for the calculation of net average capital invested is obtained by deducting inventory gains or losses in the period, net of the related tax effect. ROACE by Division is determined as ratio of adjusted net profit to net average capital invested pertaining to each Division and rectifying the net capital invested as of period-end, from net inventory gains or losses (after applying the business specific tax rate).

n Pro-forma adjusted EBITDA EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization charges) on an adjusted basis is calculated by adding amortization and depreciation charges to adjusted operating profit, which is also modified to take into account the impact associated with certain derivatives instruments as detailed below. This performance indicator includes the adjusted EBITDA of Eni’s wholly owned subsidiaries and Eni’s share of adjusted EBITDA generated by certain associates which are accounted for under the equity method for IFRS purposes. The EBITDA reported by Regulated businesses in Italy is included according to Eni’s share of equity in the parent company Snam SpA (55.53% as of December 31, 2011, which takes into account the amount of own shares held in treasury by the subsidiary itself) due to its listed company status. In order to calculate the EBITDA pro-forma adjusted, the adjusted operating profit of the Marketing business has been modified to take into account the impact of the settlement of certain commodity and exchange rate derivatives that do not meet the formal criteria to be classified as hedges under the IFRS. These are entered into by the Company in view of certain amounts of gas and electricity that the Company expects to supply at fixed prices during future periods. The impact of those derivatives has been allocated to the EBITDA pro-forma adjusted relating to the reporting periods during which those supplies at fixed prices are recognized. Management believes that the EBITDA pro-forma adjusted is an important alternative measure to assess the performance of Eni’s Gas & Power Division, taking into account evidence that this Division is comparable to European utilities in the gas and power generation sector. This measure is provided in order to assist investors and financial analysts in assessing the divisional performance of Eni Gas & Power, as compared to its European peers, as EBITDA is widely used as the main performance indicator for utilities. The EBITDA pro-forma adjusted is a non-GAAP measure under IFRS. n Production Sharing Agreements (PSAs) Contract in use in non OECD Countries, regulating relationships between States and oil companies with regard to the exploration and production of hydrocarbons. The mining concession is assigned to the national oil company jointly with the foreign oil company who has exclusive right to perform exploration, development and production activities and can enter agreements with other local or international entities. In this type of contract the national oil company assigns to the international contractor the task of performing exploration and production with the contractor’s equipment and financial resources. Exploration risks are borne by the contractor and production is divided into two portions: "Cost Oil" is used to recover costs borne by the contractor, "Profit Oil" is divided between contractor and national company according to variable schemes and represents the profit deriving from exploration and production. Further terms and conditions may vary from one Country to the other. n Possible reserves Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. n Probable reserves Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered. n Proved reserves Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible, from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations, prior to the time at which

contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time. Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions. Reserves are classified as either developed and undeveloped. Proved developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well, and through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well. Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. n Recoverable reserves Amounts of hydrocarbons included in different categories of reserves (proved, probable and possible), without considering their different degree of uncertainty. n Reserves Quantities of oil and gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and gas or related substances to market, and all permits and financing required to implement the project. Reserves can be: (i) developed reserves quantities of oil and gas anticipated to be through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate; (ii) undeveloped reserves: oil and gas expected to be recovered from new wells, facilities and operating methods. n Reserve replacement ratio Measure of the reserves produced replaced by proved reserves. Indicates the Company’s ability to add new reserves through exploration and purchase of property. A rate higher than 100% indicates that more reserves were added than produced in the period. The ratio should be averaged on a three-year period in order to reduce the distortion deriving from the purchase of proved property, the revision of previous estimates, enhanced recovery, improvement in recovery rates and changes in the value of reserves – in PSAs – due to changes in international oil prices. Management also calculates this ratio by excluding the effect of the purchase of proved property in order to better assess the underlying performance of the Company’s operations. n Average reserve life index Ratio between the amount of reserves at the end of the year and total production for the year. n Resource base Oil and gas volumes contained in a reservoir as ascertained based on available engineering and geological data (sum of proved, probable and possible reserves) plus volumes not yet discovered but that are expected to be eventually recovered from the reservoir net of a risk factor (risked exploration resources). n Take-or-pay Clause included in natural gas supply contracts according to which the purchaser is bound to pay the contractual price or a fraction of such price for a minimum quantity of gas set in the contract whether or not the gas is collected by the purchaser. The purchaser has the option of collecting the gas paid for and not delivered at a price equal to the residual fraction of the price set in the contract in subsequent contract years. n Conversion Refinery process allowing the transformation of heavy fractions into lighter fractions. Conversion processes are cracking, visbreaking, coking, the gasification of refinery residues, etc. The ratio of overall treatment capacity of these plants and that of primary crude fractioning plants is the conversion rate of a refinery. Flexible refineries have higher rates and higher profitability.

  • the column "Fair value of equity remuneration" reports the fair value of competence of the year related to the existing stock option plans, estimated in accordance with international accounting standards which assign the relevant cost in the vesting period; - the column "Severance indemnities for end of office or termination of employment" reports the indemnities accrued, even if not yet paid, for the terminations which occurred during the course of financial year considered or in relation to the end of the office and/or employment. The structure of Eni’s management remuneration system is made up of: (i) fixed remuneration; (ii) short-term variable incentives tied to a target incentive level (performance=100) and a maximum level (performance=130), set at 110% and 155% respectively of the total fixed remuneration, based on the economic/ financial performance and operational results achieved by Eni in the previous year; (iii) long-term variable component consisting of two distinct plans: - Deferred Monetary Incentive Plan (DMI) with three annual awards, starting in 2012, in relation to the performance of the Company measured in terms of EBITDA. The said Plan maintains the same performance conditions and characteristics as described above for the Plan of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager. For Chief Operating Officers and other Managers with Strategic Responsibilities the base incentive to be assigned at target level is differentiated by the grade of the role up to a maximum equal to 40% of the fixed remuneration. The incentive to be paid at the end of the three-year period in question is determined as a percentage between zero and 170% of the value awarded, in relation to the results achieved; - Long-Term Monetary Incentive Plan (LTMI), envisaged for critical managerial staff.

For Chief Operating Officers and other Managers with Strategic Responsibilities the base incentive to be awarded at target level is differentiated by the grade of the role up to a maximum equal to 50% of the fixed remuneration. The incentive to be paid at the end of the three-year period in question is determined as a percentage between zero and 130% of the value awarded, in relation to the results achieved. Studies regarding possible changes to the current Performance conditions of the Plan are in course, in order to take into account the specific structure of the Eni business portfolio with respect to that of the peer group in question; (iv) benefits : For the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, unchanged from the previous mandate and the policy enacted in 2011, insurance-related benefits are envisaged and, in particular, in respect of that envisaged in the national collective labor agreement and the additional company agreements for Eni senior managers, enrolment in the complementary retirement plan (FOPDIRE) as well as in the additional health plan (FISDE) are envisaged, together with the use of a company car.

Dividends

Eni announces dividends on its ordinary shares in terms of euros. For the fiscal year 2011, the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting convened on May 8, 2012, is due to approve a dividend proposal made by the Board of Directors to pay a euro 1.04 a share dividend for 2011. Eni paid an interim dividend for fiscal year 2011 amounting to euro 0.52 per share to shares on the register at the ex-dividend date (September 19, 2011). Following shareholders approval, the balance of euro 0.52 to the 2011 dividend is scheduled for payment on May 24, 2012 (being the ex-dividend date May 21, 2012). Holders of ADRs will receive euro 1.04 per ADR, payable late in May 2012 being May 23, 2012 the ex-dividend date. Eni intends to continue paying interim dividends in the future. Holders of ADRs receive their dividends in US dollars. The rate of exchange used to determine the amount in dollars is equal to the official rate recorded on the date of dividend payment in Italy (May 24, 2012). On ADR payment date, Bank of New York Mellon (until January 17, 2012 the depositary bank was JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA) pays the dividend less the amount of any withholding tax under Italian law (currently 27%) to all Depository Trust Company Participants, representing payment of Eni SpA’s gross dividend. By submitting to Bank of New York Mellon certain required documents with respect to each dividend payment, US holders of ADRs will enable the Italian Depositary bank and JPMorgan as ADR Depositary to pay the dividend at the reduced withholding tax rate of 15%. US shareholders can obtain relevant documents as well as a complete instruction packet to benefit from this tax relief by contacting Bank of New York Mellon at 1.201.680.6825.

Eni Fact Book Eni

Eni is an integrated company engaged in the energy chain. Eni’s strong presence in the gas market and in the liquefaction of natural gas, our skills in the power generation and refinery activities, strengthened by world class skills in engineering and project management, allow us to catch opportunities in the market and to realize integrated projects. In 2011, adjusted net profit was euro 6.97 billion, up 1.5% from a year ago driven by an excellent performance reported by an excellent performance reported by the Exploration & Production Division on the back of a recovery in crude oil prices. This positive helped the Company withstand the impact of the production shut down in Libya and the sharp contraction in results of the Company’s downstream businesses dragged down by the economic downturn. Return on Average Capital Employed (ROACE) calculated on an adjusted basis was 9.9%. Net cash generated by operating activities amounted to euro 14.38 billion. Proceeds from divestments amounted to euro 1.9 billion. These inflows enabled the Company to fund the major part of the financing requirements associated with capital expenditure and other investments of euro 13.8 billion and shareholders’ remuneration. The ratio of net borrowings to total equity was 0.46 at year end (0.47 at December 31, 2010). The Board of Directors suggested to the Shareholders’ Meeting the distribution of a dividend of euro 1.04 per share for 2011 full year. In 2011, the injury frequency rate decreased by 22% and 15.9% relating to employees and contractors respectively, compared to the previous year. This positive trend progressed for the sixth consecutive year. In 2011, Eni continued its commitment in incident prevention also by means of training programs on safety and emergency prevention. In 2011, the Exploration & Production Division reported adjusted net profit amounting to euro 6.87 billion (up 22.6% from 2010). Liquids and gas production was 1,581 kboe/d, down by 12.9% from 2010, mainly due to a lowered output in Libya. Estimated net proved reserves at December 31, 2011, were 7.09 bboe. All sources reserves replacement ratio was 142%. Excluding price effect, the replacement ratio would be 159%. The reserves life index is 12.3 years (10.3 years in 2010). In 2011, the Gas & Power Division reported adjusted net profit of euro 1.54 billion, down 39.8% from 2010 due to a sharply lower operating performance of the Marketing business (adjusted operating profit was down euro 1.28 billion) negatively impacted by weak domestic demand (down 6%), and mounting competitive pressures fuelled by oversupply which squeezed selling margins and reduced volumes opportunities. The performance was also impacted by the disruption in Libyan gas availability which negatively impacted the supply mix and reduced sales to importers. Sales in Italy were basically stable (up 1.1%) despite declining demand. Sales in target European markets increased by approximately 8%. In 2011, the Refining & Marketing segment reported adjusted operating loss of euro 262 million worsening by euro 213 million from 2010, reflecting unprofitable refining margins due to rising costs for oil-based feedstock and for energy utilities linked to the former that could not be transferred to prices at the pump, also due to weak demand and excess capacity in the Mediterranean basin. Marketing results were positive but shrinking due to the decline in retail and wholesale demand for products and high competitive pressure. Despite a decline in retail sales in Italy (down 3%) Eni’s average retail market share for 2011 was 30.5%, up from 2010 due to commercial initiatives and a strong brand name. In 2011, the Engineering & Construction sector achieved an adjusted net profit amounting to euro 1.1 billion and a flow of new orders that allowed to keep its order backlog to a record of over euro 20 billion. In 2011, the sector reported a significant increase in adjusted net loss (euro 208 million, down euro 123 million) from 2010, due to lower cracker margins and lower sales volumes, in particular of commodity production. Niche business segments of elastomers and styrenes improved their profitability due to their higher technological content.

The oil&gas industry is coping with a complex scenario featured by the global economic slowdown, particularly in the Euro-zone, and volatile market conditions for energy commodities. In the medium to long-term the main challenges will be driven by rising competitive pressures in accessing reserves by new players, stricter regulation addressing environmental preservation and mitigation of the climate risk, a growing importance of renewable sources as well as the role of unconventional resources in satisfying energy need. Against this backdrop, Eni confirms its growth strategy and the adoption of a sustainable business model founded on the pillars of innovation, excellence, inclusiveness, integration, responsibility and cooperation in a framework of straightforward rules of corporate governance. Eni believes that a sustainable business conduct contributes to both the achievement of industrial performance, and the mitigation of political, financial and operational risks. This strengthens Eni’s role as a trustworthy and reliable partner, who is ready to capture new opportunities in the marketplace and able to manage the complexities of the environment. Eni believes that those drivers will help the Company to create value to its shareholders and stakeholders. Eni has designed its industrial plan for the four-year period 2012-2015 along the following strategic guidelines: growing profitable oil and gas production in the upstream, strengthening market leadership in the European gas market, improving downstream oil efficiency, refocusing petrochemical operations and retaining top spots among the best-in-class engineering and construction players in the most technologically advanced segments. In the medium-term, Eni intends to preserve a solid capital structure while continuing to invest to fuel profitable growth and reward investors. Management is targeting a net debt to equity ratio of less than 0.4 by the end of the plan period which takes into account a capital expenditure plan of euro 59.6 billion, of which 75% dedicated to upstream activities. Eni’s ability to generate strong operating cash flows, investment selection and capital efficiency will underpin the Company’s financial structure. In the Exploration & Production Division, Eni intends to deliver organic production growth with increasing returns and reserve replacement. The Company’s value proposition in its upstream operations will leverage on strengthening our leadership in core areas, increasing the volume of operated production and retaining a strong portfolio of long-term plateau fields. Eni will pursue further growth options by developing unconventional plays, gas-to-LNG projects and integrated gas projects. Eni’s growth trajectory will be supported by its ongoing commitment in establishing and consolidating its partnerships with key host Countries, leveraging the Eni co-operation model. Management expects that continuing technological innovation and competence build-up will drive production growth and increasing rates of reserve recovery, developing drilling techniques to be applied in complex environment, marginal fields and deep/ultra deep offshore areas. Management is targeting to increase hydrocarbon production to 2.03 mmboe/d by 2015 at an average rate of more than 3% over the next four years. Growth will be fuelled by increasing flows from Eni’s core areas (in Sub-Saharan Africa in particular in Mozambique, Venezuela, Barents Sea, Yamal Peninsula in Russia, Kazakhstan, Iraq and Indonesia) leveraging Eni’s vast knowledge of reservoirs and geological basins, as well as technical and producing synergies. Eni’s exploration activity will play a vital role in securing access to new resources and the long-term business sustainability and we are planning to step-up expenditures over the next four-year plan compared to our previous capital budget (an increase of approximately euro 2 billion). Management plans to achieve a sound balance between exploration projects in legacy areas vs. high risk/high reward basins. Eni intends to drive higher returns and manage the operational risk in its upstream operations by reducing the time-to-market of its portfolio of resources, increasing total volumes of operated production, as operatorship is seen to be the safest way to control risks, as well as selectively picking partners in non-operated joint-projects. Eni plans to monetize its reserves of associated gas in particular in Algeria, Angola, Congo, Iraq, Italy, Libya,

Nigeria, Norway and Turkmenistan, targeting to cut the level of gas flaring by 80% from 2007 levels over the next four-years plan. Management is ready to invest approximately euro 4 billion to achieve that target. In the Gas & Power Division, Eni plans to strengthen its leadership in the European gas markets in spite of increasing competitive pressures, oversupply and weak gas spot prices. Management intends to leverage on: (i) the renegotiation of the economic conditions of Eni’s key supply contracts in order to improve the competitiveness of Eni’s gas portfolio; (ii) extracting value from Eni’s logistics assets and its presence at the continental hubs; (iii) developing an international commercial platform and a multi-Country approach; (iv) boosting LNG sales; (v) enhancing of Eni’s gas and power commercial offer, continuing service improvement and customer care through the adoption of systems and processes which best suit customers’ needs, mainly in retail markets. We target to recover a fair level of profitability in the G&P Marketing business. Regulated businesses in Italy are committed to develop additional transport and storage capacity, focusing on improving infrastructure reliability and flexibility as well as efficient operations. In particular, EniPower is planning to upgrade the energy efficiency at proprietary plants in order to retain an index of CO 2 emissions below the target level of 415 g CO 2 /kWheq. Eni will continue pursuing the OHSAS 18001 certification for its health and safety management systems at all its plants. In the Refining & Marketing Division, Eni will strive to regain profitability against the backdrop of a depressed trading environment. Eni will boost its refining operations by means of optimizations and integration of refinery cycles and cost and energy efficiencies. Eni will pursue strict capital discipline by focusing on projects intended to upgrade the complexity and reliability of our refineries, and to improve the environmental performance. In marketing operations, considering a weak demand outlook for fuels, management plans to strengthen Eni’s leadership in the Italian retail market leveraging on commercial initiatives to best suit customers’ needs, a differentiated offer, process automation, enhancing non-oil activities, retaining customers and strengthening our brand. Abroad, Eni will grow selectively in target European markets and divest marginal assets. Management plans to improve results of the Refining & Marketing Division by over euro 500 million within 2015, excluding any change in market context, through efficiency improvements. Eni expects to grow middle distillate yield s to 50% (vs. 47% in 2011) and, in marketing, we are targeting a market share up to 30% in the Italian retail sector. Energy saving programs will be strengthened by implementing the Energy Management System at refinery plants in accordance with the ISO 50001 international standard. Eni will also invest euro 25.6 million to reduce SO x and NO x emissions by 2013 on a comparable production basis. To cope with the structural challenges of Petrochemical business, management is implementing a strategic shift targeting to restore the economic equilibrium of the business over the medium-term. This new strategy features a gradual reduction of the exposure to the unprofitable, commoditized businesses in favor of growing the

Company’s presence in niche productions, particularly elastomers and specialties which have shown good profitability. Eni will pursue this goal by reconverting and restructuring loss-making plants, improving plant integration and flexibility, as well as optimization projects. Eni intends to growth its presence in green chemistry leveraging its joint venture project at Porto Torres in Sardinia which targets the restructuring of an obsolete plant into a modern and advanced facility for the production of environmentally-friendly chemicals. The licensing of Eni’s proprietary technologies will support the establishment of strategic alliances with international partners. Over the next four years, Eni will make capital expenditure amounting to euro 1.7 billion, targeting plant upgrading and enhancement in the best positioned businesses, mainly in elastomers. In the medium term Eni plans to break-even business results. made to boost local assets and logistic centers in key areas (in particular in Brazil) will support the competitive advantages. Management believes that the achievement of Eni’s projected targets and expected returns will be underpinned by Eni’s operational excellence, synergies from integration and the development of integrated risk management capabilities intended to extract value from Eni’s assets. Operational excellence thanks to Eni’s know-how and distinctive competences endorses a preventive business conduct when managing the environmental footprint of Eni’s operations and risks to employees and communities’ health and safety. Continuing improvement in efficiency through innovation of business processes will enable the Company to reduce the energy intensity of its productions, optimize plants activities and achieve economies of scale in centralized services.

Engineering & Construction segment will consolidate its leading position in the Offshore and Onshore businesses leveraging the EPIC-oriented business model and outstanding relationships with the Majors and NOCs.

Eni Fact Book How we operate

In the deployment of its activities, Eni built important relations with the external world in order to maintain a constructive confrontation aimed at the diffusion and development of best practices. This has enabled Eni to be seen as a reliable and competitive partner. This approach is based on the respect of universal principles such as the protection of human rights, the adoption of the highest standards of work, the respect of the environment and communities, and the fight against corruption. In addition to this, Eni is oriented at seizing business opportunities while taking account the development of the socio-economic contexts in which it operates. The respect for universal principles incorporated in Eni’s business model is expressed mainly in responsibility towards applicable laws and the adoption of best standards, the inclusion of all its people through fair and non discriminating policies, excellence in operations with the adoption of quality systems and advanced technologies. Integration , innovation and cooperation are the competitive drivers allowing Eni to stand out in the oil&gas industry, to consolidate its presence in Countries that are not always characterized by political stability and at the same time to contribute to the development goals of the United Nations. Cooperation in the development of the territories where we work, expresses the ability to understand local needs and the willingness to contribute to their fulfillment. Eni is committed to provide concrete response to problems and requirements of the Countries where it operates, in synergy with the development strategies of these Countries and with reference to the Millennium Goals. The cooperation model with producing Countries, or rather the will to invest with a long-term prospective and the flexibility of offering solutions to the requirements of the Countries, has been an integral part of corporate strategy from the very beginning. This is now transforming into ever greater integration among the Company development projects and the development of growth opportunities in the territories where Eni is hosted. Integration of all activities along the energy supply chain is a source of crucial synergies for facing market challenges and ensuring competitive advantages. The integrated approach enables greater flexibility in managing relation with producing Countries, to whom Eni proposes solutions that each and every time are adapted to the specific requirements for technology, infrastructure and economic growth of the local society.

Eni Fact Book How we operate

Innovation is a key element for accessing new energy resources, improving recovery from the subsoil and the efficiency of its use, ensuring respect for and responsible use of natural resources. Eni’s commitment to technological research is aimed at reducing the time-to-market for new scientific discoveries in the traditional oil&gas sectors, at enhancing renewable energy, and at developing innovative methods of environmental conservation. Excellence in running the operations hinges on making use of best practices, quality systems, advanced technologies and safety systems to ensure full respect for the community and the environment. Environmental responsibility is a basic pillar of sustainable operations, in particular as concerns the environmental impact on health and well-being of communities living in the affected areas. Among the projects carried out by Eni are the reduction of polluting emissions and of greenhouse gases (by means of increased efficiency and flare down projects), the reduction in fresh water consumption, the provision of assessments on ecosystem and biodiversity protection. Inclusion of all Eni people, with their broadly expressed diversity combines with health and safety protection in the workplace, as well as their personal development and involvement in the Company’s goals. Thanks to the skills of its employees and to their diversity, which Eni enhances inside its corporate structure, to its ability to integrate with different local contexts, Eni ensures a distinctive offering with significant advantages in terms of competitiveness. Responsibility in terms of commitment to transparency in the business management, in the fight against corruption, and in the respect for human rights in every sphere of our work is a requisite for effective contribution toward the development of Countries and societies. As concerns human rights, Eni promotes their respect in all its operations and extends this to all its supply chain and to all its stakeholders. The respect of international standards is essential especially in Countries where rules and values for the protection and safeguard of human rights are not implemented. Eni is also engaged in the fight against corruption. Anti-corruption regulations are applied to all corporate levels through an articulated and homogenous system of rules based on the principles of integrity and transparency that have been extended along the entire value chain to promote a sustainable business and full respect of stakeholders.

Performance of the year I In 2011, employee and contractor injury frequency rate declined by 43.1% and 14.6% from 2010, respectively. - Greenhouse gas emissions (total and from flared) reported a steep decline reflecting the completion of certain gas recovery projects in Nigeria and the reduction associated gas to feed the ramp-up of two turbo-generators in a power plant in Congo. Performance for the year was also impacted by lowered Libyan activities. - In 2011, the E&P Division reported an excellent performance amounting to euro 6,866 million of adjusted net profit (up 22.6% from 2010), reflecting higher oil prices and the rapid recovery of Libyan output. - Return on average capital employed calculated on an adjusted basis was 17.2% in 2011 (16% in 2010). Giant discovery in Mozambique I The volume of natural gas discovered beyond expectation in Mozambique will lead to a new significant development opportunities in Far East Countries with an energy demand growth at fast pace. The Mamba South, Mamba North and Mamba North East exploration wells were drilled in Area 4 of the offshore Rovuma basin showing the mineral potential of gas in place up to 40 tcf. This is the largest operated discovery in the Company’s exploration history. Agreement with Rosneft I On April 25, 2012, Eni and Rosneft signed a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly develop exploration licenses in the Russian offshore of the Barents Sea and the Black Sea.

the Fedynsky and Tsentralno-Barentsvesky licenses offshore the Barents Sea and the Zapadno-Cernomorsky license offshore the Black Sea. These licenses are estimated to hold recoverable resources of 36 billion boe. Technology exchange is a key element of the strategic partnership. Restarted Libyan operations I The rapid restart of Eni’s Libyan operations reduced the impact of the Revolution on 2011 results. Production at Eni’s Libyan sites is currently flowing at approximately 240 kboe/d and management is targeting to achieve the pre-crisis production plateau of 280 kboe/d and full ramp-up by the second half of 2012. Start-up of Perla project in Venezuela I Signed a Gas Sales Agreement for developing the giant Perla gas discovery, containing over 17 tcf of gas in place with the Venezuelan national oil company PDVSA. The development plan provides for three phases, targeting production of approximately 9 tcf until 2036 or 1.2 mmcf/d at peak. The gas produced will be used locally and exported. The investment plan for the first development phase is estimated at $1.4 billion at 100%. Portfolio I In spite of the year 2011 was marked by the Libyan crisis, the management continued to pursue our long-term growth strategy. Leveraging its established co-operation model, focusing on core areas and capturing opportunities in high risk/high reward basins, Eni laid foundations for a new development stage: - Signed with PetroChina and Sinopec a framework agreement to promote joint projects in conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon plays in China and outside China. A similar agreement has been signed with Sonatrach to explore for and develop unconventional hydrocarbons in Algeria, particularly shale gas plays. - Signed a Memorandum of Understanding with South Africa’s State-owned oil company PetroSA to promote common opportunities to jointly expand operations in conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons in South Africa and in Africa. Eni will also ensure long-term LNG supplies as well as flows of refined products to support the Country’s economic development. - Acquired from Cadogan Petroleum plc an interest in two licenses for exploration and development in areas included in the Dniepr-Donetz basin in Ukraine. - Reached an agreement with MEO Australia to farm-in the Heron and Blackwood gas discoveries in the NT/P-68 permit, located in the Timor Sea.

New agreement of Karachaganak field in Kazakhstan I On December 14, 2011, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the contracting companies in the Final Production Sharing Agreement (FPSA) of the giant Karachaganak gas-condensate field reached an agreement to settle all pending claims. The agreement, effective from June 30, 2012 on satisfaction of conditions precedent, involves Kazakhstan’s KazMunaiGas (KMG) acquiring a 10% interest in the project. This will be done by each of the contracting companies transferring 10% of their rights and interest in the Karachaganak FPSA to KMG. Production I In 2011, Eni reported liquids and gas production of 1,581 kboe/d, down by 12.9% from 2010, mainly due to a lowered output in Libya. Performance was also negatively impacted by lower entitlements in the Company’s Production Sharing Agreements (PSAs) due to higher oil prices with an overall effect of approximately 30 kboe/d from 2010. Net of this effect and the above mentioned loss of Libyan output, production for the year was in line with 2010. - In the year oil spills from accidents declined by 23% from 2010, due to significant prevention activities undertaken. - In the year start-ups were achieved at eleven oil and gas fields which are expected to add approximately 80 kboe/d at plateau to Eni’s medium-term production. - Made final investment decisions to develop large projects such as the jointly-operated Samburgskoye and Urengoskoye giant gas fields in Siberia, in addition to the above mentioned Perla project, as well as projects in Norway and the Gulf of Mexico which are expected to add 140 kboe/d at plateau in 2015. Reserves I Estimated net proved reserves at December 31, 2011, were 7.09 bboe (up 3.6% from 2010) based on a 12-month average Brent price of $111 per barrel. All sources reserves replacement ratio was 142%. Excluding price effect, the replacement ratio would be 159%. The reserves life index is 12.3 years (10.3 years in 2010). Capital expenditure I In 2011, capital expenditure amounted to euro 9,435 million to enhance assets in well established areas of Africa, the Gulf of Mexico and Central Asia. Exploration expenditure amounted to euro 1,210 million (up 19.6% from 2010) to execute a selective campaign with the completion of 56 new exploratory wells (28 net to Eni) and an overall commercial success rate of 42% (38.6% net to Eni). In addition 17 exploratory wells drilled are in progress at year end (9.9 net to Eni). - Exploration successes in the year contributed to increase our resource base by 1.1 bboe. New resources were, in addition to the above mentioned Mozambique discovery, the appraisal of Perla giant field in Venezuela, significant discoveries of Jangkrik North East (Eni operator with a 55% interest) in Indonesia and Skrugard/Havis (Eni’s interest 30%) in the Barents Sea, the appraisal/discovery wells in Block 15/06 (Eni operator with a 35% interest) in the Angolan offshore, as well as other successes in the Gulf of Mexico, Ghana, Egypt, Pakistan, the United Kingdom and Nigeria. - Development expenditure was euro 7,357 million to fuel the growth of major projects in Norway, Kazakhstan, Algeria, the United States, Italy, Congo and Egypt. - In 2011 overall R&D expenditure of Exploration & Production Division amounted to approximately euro 90 million (euro 98 million in 2010).

In the exploration phase, Eni also holds interests in the Mer Très Profonde Sud deep offshore block (Eni’s interest 30%), the Noumbi onshore permit (Eni’s interest 37%) and the Marine XII offshore permit (Eni operator with a 65% interest). In 2011, Eni signed with the local authorities a Memorandum of Understanding to improve people living conditions in the M’Boundi area. The integrated project concerns health, education, environmental and economic development. Exploration and production activities in Congo are regulated by Production Sharing Agreements. Production Production is provided mainly by the M’Boundi (43 kboe/d), Awa Paloukou (6 kboe/d), Zatchi (9 kboe/d), Loango (6 kboe/d), Ikalou (6 kboe/d), Foukanda, Djambala and Mwafi and Kitina (overall 7 kboe/d) fields and by non-operated fields located in production PEX, Pointe Noire Grand Fond and Likouala (overall 24 kboe/d) permits. In 2011, production started-up at the Libondo offshore field in the PEX permit with production of approximately 3 kboe/d net to Eni. Development Activities on the M’Boundi field moved forward with the application of advanced recovery techniques and a design to monetize associated gas within the activities aimed at zero gas flaring by 2012. In addition starting from 2009, Eni finalized long-term agreements to supply associated gas from the M’Boundi field to feed three facilities in the Pointe Noire area: (i) the under construction potassium plant, owned by the Canadian Company MAG Industries; (ii) the existing Djeno power plant (CED - Centrale Electrique du Djeno) with a 50 MW generation capacity; and (iii) the recently built CEC Centrale Electrique du Congo power plant (Eni’s interest 20%) with a 300 MW generation capacity. These facilities will also receive in the future gas from the offshore discoveries of the Marine XII permit. In 2011, M’Boundi supply to the CEC and CED power plants was approximately 106 mmcf/d (17 kboe/d net to Eni). The RIT project progressed for the rehabilitation of the power grid from Pointe Noire to Brazzaville within the integrated project to monetize gas in Congo. Other activities in the area concerned the optimization of producing fields by means of new technologies: (i) a drilling technique to increase the well-reservoir contact area at the Loango field with an additional volumes of approximately 300 bbl/d; (ii) in the Zatchi field, a system for consolidating sands to keep production sand free. The zero gas flaring has been achieved at the offshore Kitina field following the completion of the second phase of the water alternate gas project. Within the cooperation agreement, a project concerns the development and extraction of unconventional oil from the Tchikatanga and Tchikatanga-Makola oil sands deposits. The two deposits cover an area of 1,790 square kilometers and are deemed to contain significant amounts of resources based on a recent survey. Eni plans to monetize heavy oils extracted from these sands also through the possible application of its proprietary Eni Slurry Technology (EST). This technology can totally abate heavy residues and maximize light products. The project will also benefit from synergies resulting from the close proximity of the M’Boundi operated field. Ghana Eni has been present in Ghana since 2009, following the acquisition of the Offshore Cape Three Points South and Offshore Cape Three Points (Eni operator with a 47.2% interest) exploration permits.

Exploration commitment concerned the appraisal of already discoveries. SPDC Joint Venture (NASE) In 2011, production from the SPDC JV accounted for approximately 30% of Eni’s production in Nigeria (47 kboe/d). The Forcados/Yokri oil and gas field is under development as part of the integrated associated gas gathering project aimed at supplying gas to the domestic market through Escravos-Lagos pipeline system. First gas is expected in 2013. In block OML 28 within the integrated oil and natural gas project in the Gbaran-Ubie area, the drilling program progressed. The development plan provides for the construction of a Central Processing Facility (CPF) with treatment capacity of approximately 1 bcf/d of gas and 120 kbbl/d of liquids. Exploration activities yielded positive results in Block OML 36 with the Opugbene 2 appraisal well containing natural gas and condensates. The LNG business in Nigeria Eni holds a 10.4% interest in Nigeria LNG Ltd responsible for the management of the Bonny liquefaction plant, located in the Eastern Niger Delta. The plant has a design treatment capacity of approximately 1,236 bcf/y of feed gas corresponding to a production of 22 mmtonnes/y of LNG on six trains. The seventh unit is being engineered as it is in the planning phase. When fully operational, total capacity will amount to approximately 30 mmtonnes/y of LNG, corresponding to a feedstock of approximately 1,624 bcf/y. Natural gas supplies to the plant are provided under gas supply agreements with a 20-year term from the SPDC joint venture and the NAOC JV, the latter operating the OMLs 60, 61, 62 and 63 blocks with an overall amount at the end of 2011 of 2,797 mmcf/d (267 mmcf/d net to Eni corresponding to approximately 48 kboe/d). LNG production is sold under long-term contracts and exported to European and American markets by the Bonny Gas Transport fleet, wholly owned by Nigeria LNG Co. Eni holds a 17% interest in Brass LNG Ltd Company for the construction of a natural gas liquefaction plant to be built near the existing Brass terminal, 100 kilometers west of Bonny. This plant is expected to start operating in 2017 with a production capacity of 10 mmtonnes/y of LNG corresponding to 590 bcf/y (approximately 60 net to Eni) of feed gas on two trains for 20-years. Supplies to this plant will derive from the collection of associated gas from nearby producing fields and from the development of gas reserves in the onshore OMLs 60 and 61. The venture signed preliminary long-term contracts to sell the whole LNG production capacity. Eni acquired 1.67 mmtonnes/y of LNG capacity (corresponding to approximately 81 bcf/y). LNG will be delivered to the United States market mainly at the re-gasification plant in Cameron, in Louisiana, USA. Eni’s capacity amounts to approximately 201 bcf/y.

Kashagan Eni holds a 16.81% working interest in the North Caspian Sea Production Sharing Agreement (NCSPSA). The NCSPSA defines terms and conditions for the exploration and development of the Kashagan field which was discovered in the Northern section of the contractual area in the year 2000 over an undeveloped area extending for 4,600 square kilometers. Management believes this field contains a large amount of hydrocarbon resources which will eventually be developed in phases. The exploration and development activities of the Kashagan field and the other discoveries made in the contractual area are executed through an operating model which entails an increased role of the Kazakh partner and defines the international parties’ responsibilities in the execution of the subsequent development phases of the project. The North Caspian Operating Company (NCOC) BV participated by the seven partners of the consortium has taken over the operatorship of the project. Subsequently development, drilling and production activities have been delegated by NCOC BV to the main partners of the Consortium: Eni has retained the responsibility for the development of Phase 1 of the project (the so-called "Experimental Program") and the onshore part of Phase 2. The Consortium is currently focused on completing Phase 1 and starting commercial oil production. Management estimates that Phase 1 was 90% completed as of end of December 2011. Tranches 1 and 2 of the scope of work which target commercial production start-up reached approximately 98% at the end of the year. The Consortium continues to target the achievement of first commercial oil production by the end of 2012 or in the early 2013. The project Phase 1 (Experimental Program) as sanctioned by the partners of the venture targets an initial production capacity of 150 kbbl/d. In 2014, the second train of treatment and compression facilities for gas re-injection will be completed and come online enabling to increase the production capacity up to 370 kbbl/d. The partners are planning to further increase available production capacity up to 450 kbbl/d by installing additional gas compression capacity for re-injection in the reservoir. The partners intend to submit the scheme of this additional gas compression activity to the relevant Kazakh Authorities in the course of 2012 in order to obtain approval to start the engineering design. The partners are currently assessing the Phase 2 of the development of the Kashagan field with a view of optimizing the development lay-out. The review is expected to be completed by 2012. However, taking into account that future development expenditures will be incurred over a long time horizon and subsequently to the production start-up, management does not expect any material impact on the Company’s liquidity or its ability to fund these capital expenditures. In addition to the expenditures for developing the field, further capital expenditures will be required to build the infrastructures needed for exporting the production to international markets. Eni continues its commitment in the protection of the environment and ecosystems in the Caspian area with the completion of the first phase of the integrated program for the management of biodiversity. Eni’s Ural River Park project is nearing completion and Eni’s aim is to include it in the Man and Biosphere Program of UNESCO under the patronage of the Kazakh Ministry for Environmental Protection. Eni’s Extreme Lean Profile (x-lpt TM ) proprietary technology has been applied in drilling operations allowing to reduce costs and the environmental impact in drilling activities. In addition, Eni applied for the first time in a development well, an innovative safety valve installed in the casing and made with special steel resistant to corrosive conditions related of field fluids. Karachaganak Located in West onshore Kazakhstan, Karachaganak is a giant liquid and gas field with recoverable reserves of 5 bboe. Operations are conducted by the Karachaganak Petroleum Operating consortium (KPO) and are regulated by a PSA lasting 40 years, until 2037. Eni and British Gas are co-operators of the venture with a 32.5% interest each. On December 14, 2011, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the contracting companies of Karachaganak Final Production Sharing Agreement (FPSA) reached an agreement to settle all pending claims. The agreement, effective from June 30, 2012 on satisfaction of conditions precedent, involves Kazakhstan’s KazMunaiGas (KMG) acquiring a 10% interest in the project. This will be done by each of the contracting companies transferring 10% of their rights and interest in the Karachaganak FPSA to KMG. The contracting companies will receive $1 billion net cash consideration ($325 million being Eni’s share). In addition the agreement provides for the allocation of an extra nominal capacity of 2 million tonnes of oil per annum capacity for the Karachaganak project in the Caspian Pipeline Consortium export pipeline. The effects of the agreement on profit and loss, reserve and production entitlements will be recognized in the 2012 financial statements. Production In 2011, production of the Karachaganak field averaged 239 kbbl/d of liquids (64 net to Eni) and 784 mmcf/d of natural gas (231 net to Eni). This field is developed by producing liquids from the deeper layers of the reservoir and re-injecting the associated gas in the higher layers. Approximately 85% of liquid production are stabilized at the Karachaganak Processing Complex (KPC) with a capacity of approximately 240 kbbl/d and exported to Western markets through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (Eni’s interest 2%) and the Atyrau-Samara pipeline. The remaining volumes of non-stabilized liquid production and associated raw gas not re-injected in the reservoir are marketed at the Russian terminal in Orenburg. Development The fourth liquids stabilization train has been completed

Performance of the year Agreement with Gazprom I In March 2012, within their strategic partnership Eni and Gazprom signed an agreement on the revision of long-term natural gas supply contracts from Russia to Italy with retroactive effect from January 2011. The parties also discussed the execution of a detailed plan for the commencement of construction of the South Stream gas pipeline with the Final Investment Decision (FID) to be taken by November 2012. Divestment of international pipelines I In 2011, Eni finalized the divestment of its interests in importing pipelines of natural gas from Northern Europe (TENP and Transitgas) and Russia (TAG) as part of the agreements signed on September 29, 2010 with the European Commission. Total consideration amounted to approximately euro 1.5 billion. Eni’s ship-or-pay contracts will be unaffected. Belgium I In January 2012, Eni finalized the acquisition of Nuon Belgium NV and Nuon Power Generation Wallon NV, companies marketing gas and electricity mainly to residential and professional customers in Belgium, for an outlay of euro 214 million. Divestment of interest in Interconnector I On February 22, 2012, Snam and Fluxys G signed a preliminary agreement to purchase Eni’s 16.41% interest in Interconnector (UK) Limited, its 51% interest in Interconnector Zeebrugge Terminal SCRL and its 10% interest in Huberator SA for a total consideration of euro 150 million. These companies own and operate the subsea gas pipeline that provides a bi-directional link between the UK (Bacton) and Belgium (Zeebrugge) hubs. IZT and Huberator are Belgian companies: IZT owns the Belgian compressor terminal at the Interconnector in Zeebrugge, and Huberator offers trading-related services in the Zeebrugge Gas Hub. The completion of the transaction is subject to certain conditions precedent and is expected to occur by the second half of 2012. I The injury frequency rate continued to improve (down 38% from 2010) thanks to enhanced training, information and sensitization of workers. I With regard to sales to residentials in Italy, Eni’s customers satisfaction score (checked twice a year by the Authority for electricity and gas) increased to 91.0 (basis 100) in the first half of 2011 from an average 89.8 registered by the reference utility panel. I In 2011, adjusted net profit was euro 1,541 million, down 39.8% from 2010 due to a sharply lower operating performance of the Marketing business negatively impacted by weak demand and mounting competitive pressures fuelled by oversupply which squeezed selling margins and reduced volumes opportunities. The performance was also impacted by the disruption in Libyan gas availability, as well as by the unfavorable trends in energy parameters and unusual winter weather. Furthermore, the results reflected only a part of the benefits associated with the renegotiations of the supply contracts, certain of which have been finalized after 2011 year-end. These lower results were partly offset by the positive operating performance delivered by the International transport and Regulated businesses in Italy. I Adjusted ROACE was 5.6% (9.8% in 2010).

I Worldwide gas sales were basically stable at 96.76 bcm supported by commercial initiatives, despite lower consumption and competitive pressure. We grew in many European Countries and in international LNG sales, while offtakes from importers into Italy of Libyan gas fell sharply and sales fell in Belgium. I Electricity sales of 40.28 TWh increased by 0.74 TWh from 2010, up 1.9%. I Natural gas volumes transported in Italy were 78.30 bcm, a decline of 6% from 2010 due to a steep decline in gas demand in Italy. I Capital expenditure amounted to euro 1,721 million for the development and upkeep of transport and distribution networks in Italy, increasing storage capacity and upgrading and improvement of efficiency standards in power generation. I In 2011, total R&D expenditure amounted to euro 2 million, net of overhead costs.

Eni Fact Book Gas & Power

Eni’s Gas & Power segment engages in all phases of the natural gas value chain: supply, trading and marketing of natural gas and electricity, gas infrastructures, and LNG supply and marketing. This segment also includes power generation activity, ancillary to the marketing of electricity. Eni’s leading position in the European gas market is ensured by a set of competitive advantages, including our multi-Country approach, long-term gas availability, access to infrastructures, market knowledge and a strong customer base. Furthermore, integration with our upstream operations provides valuable growth options whereby the Company targets to monetize its large gas reserves. 1. Marketing 1.1 Natural gas Supply The supply of natural gas is a free activity where prices are determined by free negotiations of demand and supply involving natural gas resellers and producers. In order to secure long-term access to gas availability, particularly with a view of supplying the Italian gas market, Eni has signed a number of long-term gas supply contracts with key producing Countries that supply the European gas markets. These contracts have been ensuring approximately 80 bcm of gas availability from 2010 (including the Distrigas portfolio of supplies and excluding Eni’s other subsidiaries and affiliates) with a residual life of approximately 17 years and a pricing mechanism that indexed the cost of gas to the price of crude oil and its derivatives (gasoil, fuel oil, etc.). Further competitive advantages are represented by the availability of natural gas deriving from equity production, the access to all phases of the LNG chain (liquefaction, shipping and regasification) and to other gas infrastructures, and by trading and risk management activity. Eni’s long-term gas requirements are met by natural gas from a total of 12 Countries, where Eni also holds upstream activities and by access to European spot markets. In 2011, Eni’s consolidated subsidiaries supplied 83.38 bcm of natural gas, representing an increase of 0.89 bcm, or 1.1% from 2010. In 2011, main gas volumes from equity production derived from: (i) Italian gas fields (6.7 bcm); (ii) certain Eni fields located in the British and Norwegian sections of the North Sea (2.4 bcm); (iii) the United States (2.2 bcm); and (iv) other European areas (Croatia with 0.3 bcm). Supplies from equity production fell sharply at the Wafa and Bahr Essalam fields (to 0.6 bcm) in Libya due to the conflict in the Country; in 2010 these two fields supplied 2.5 bcm net to Eni. Considering also direct sales of the Exploration & Production segment and LNG supplied from the Bonny liquefaction plant in Nigeria, supplied gas volumes from equity production were approximately 18 bcm representing 18% of total volumes available for sale. Marketing in Italy Eni operates in a liberalized market where energy customers are allowed to choose the supplier of gas and, according to their specific needs, to evaluate the quality of services and offers. With regard to the retail market in Italy, the Authority for Electricity and Gas regulates and defines the tariff system for those customers who have not chosen their supplier on the free market, mainly residentials and small enterprises. The Italian market includes four segments of customers: large businesses, the power generation sector, wholesalers and residential customers. Large businesses and power generation utilities are directly linked to the regional natural gas network. Wholesalers mainly include local selling companies that resell natural gas to residential customers through low pressure distribution networks. Residential customers include households (also referred to as the retail market), the tertiary sector (mainly commercial outlets, hospitals, schools and local administrations) and small businesses (also referred to as the middle market) located in large metropolitan areas and urban centers. Overall, Eni supplies approximately

In 2011, sales on target markets in Europe of 49.74 bcm showed a positive trend, increasing by 7.9%, except for Benelux where competitive pressure, in particular in the wholesalers segment, reduced Eni’s sale portfolio. The main increases were recorded in Turkey, due to increased off-takes by Bota, France also due to the consolidation of Altergaz, UK/Northern Europe, Germany/Austria and the Iberian Peninsula. A review of Eni’s presence in key European markets is presented below.

Benelux Eni holds a key position in the Benelux Countries (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg), in particular in Belgium, which are a strategic hub of the continental gas spot market in Western Europe, thanks to their central position and high level of interconnectivity with the gas transit networks of Central and Northern Europe. In 2011, sales in Benelux were mainly directed to industrial companies, wholesalers and power generation and amounted to 11.95 bcm (14.87 bcm in 2010), down by 2.92 bcm, or 19.6%, due to rising competitive pressure, in particular in the wholesalers segment. In January 2012, in order to consolidate its position in Belgium, Eni finalized the acquisition of Nuon Belgium NV and Nuon Power Generation Wallon NV, two companies engaged respectively in marketing gas and electricity mainly to residential and professional customers in the Country, and in managing a project aimed to build a CCGT power plant at Seneffe in Belgium. France Eni sells natural gas to industrial clients, wholesalers and power generation as well as to the retail and middle market segments. Eni is present in the French market through its direct commercial activities and through its subsidiary Altergaz (Eni’s interest being 98.09% as of December 31, 2011). Furthermore, Eni holds a 34% interest in Gaz de Bordeaux SAS (with a 17% direct interest and a further 17% held by Altergaz) which is engaged in selling natural gas in the municipality of Bordeaux. In 2011, sales in France amounted to 7.01 bcm (6.09 bcm in 2010), an increase of 0.92 bcm, or 15.1%, from a year ago. Germany/Austria Eni is present in the German natural gas market through its associate GVS (Gasversorgung Süddeutschland GmbH - Eni 50%) which sold approximately 4.68 bcm in 2011 (2.34 bcm net to Eni), and through a direct marketing structure which sold in 2011 approximately 3.23 bcm in Germany and 1.34 bcm in Austria. In 2011, sales in Germany/Austria market amounted to 6.47 bcm, an increase of 0.80 bcm, or 14.1%, from a year ago. Iberian Peninsula In 2011, total sales in the Iberian Peninsula amounted to 7.48 bcm, an increase of 0.37 bcm, or 5.2%, from a year ago. Spain. Eni operates in the Spanish gas market through a direct marketing structure that markets its portfolio of LNG and Unión Fenosa Gas (UFG) (Eni’s interest 50%) which mainly supplies natural gas to industrial clients, wholesalers and power generation utilities. In 2011, UFG gas sales in Europe amounted to 4.88 bcm (2.44 bcm Eni’s share). UFG holds an 80% interest in the Damietta liquefaction plant, on the Egyptian coast (see below), and a 7.36% interest in a liquefaction plant in Oman. In addition, it holds interests in the Sagunto (Valencia) and El Ferrol (Galicia) re-gasification plants (42.5% and 18.9%, respectively). In 2011, Eni sales in Spain amounted to 5.79 bcm representing a slight increase from a year ago. Portugal . Eni operates on the Portuguese market through its affiliate Galp Energia (Eni’s interest 33.34%) which sold approximately 5.49 bcm in 2011 (1.83 bcm net to Eni). Turkey Eni sells gas supplied from Russia and transported via the Blue Stream pipeline. In 2011, sales amounted to 6.86 bcm, an increase of 2.91 bcm, or 73.7% from a year ago.

Eni Fact Book Gas & Power

Deborah Gas Storage Project in the Hewett area, UK Eni has progressed in developing the Gas Storage Project on the Deborah field in the Hewett area located in the Southern Gas Basin in the North Sea, near the Bacton terminal. The Deborah Gas Storage Project is designed to provide the UK and North Western Europe markets with 4.6 bcm of working gas. Over the last two years significant progress has been made by completing the Front End Engineering Design ("FEED"), obtaining most of the necessary approvals including the agreement with The Crown Estate, the Gas Storage License from the Department of Energy and Climate Change ("DECC") and relevant permits from the North Norfolk District Counsel on the Bacton terminal. In addition, the UK government has recently designated as strategic for the Country the need to develop storage infrastructures, also to support the development of power generation from renewable sources, which need an adequate production back-up from combined cycle plants in order to mitigate the risk associated to consumption peaks and the related price increases. Eni believes that recent positions taken by the UK authorities are very important and encouraging for the Deborah storage project. Thus, Eni together with other gas storage developers has started contacts with UK authorities to investigate any capacity mechanism that can reduce any possible risk associated to gas storage projects in the UK. FID on the project will depend on the outcome of said contacts with the UK governmental authorities and potential co-investors. 1.2 LNG Eni is present in all phases of the LNG business: liquefaction, shipping, re-gasification and sale through operated activities or interests in joint ventures and associates. Eni’s presence in the business is tied to the Company’s plans to develop its large gas reserve base in Africa and elsewhere in the world. The LNG business has been deeply impacted by the economic downturn and oversupply affecting the European gas market, as well as by structural modifications in the US market where large availability of gas from unconventional sources have reduced the Country’s dependence on gas imports via LNG. Eni’s main assets and projects in the LNG business are described below. Egypt Eni, through its interest in Unión Fenosa Gas, owns a 40% interest in the Damietta liquefaction plant with a capacity of approximately 5 mmtonnes/y of LNG which equates to a feedstock of 7.56 bcm/y of natural gas out of which the Gas & Power segment interest is up to 2.2 bcm/y to be marketed in Europe. Spain Eni through Unión Fenosa Gas holds a 21.25% interest in the Sagunto re-gasification plant, near Valencia, with a capacity of 8.8 bcm/y and a LNG storage capacity of 450,000 cm which will be increased to 600,000 cm after the ongoing construction of a fourth tank. At present, Eni’s re-gasification capacity entitlement amounts to 1.9 bcm/y of gas. Eni through Unión Fenosa Gas also holds a 9.45% interest in the El Ferrol re-gasification plant, located in Galicia, with a treatment capacity of approximately 3.6 bcm/y, of which 0.34 bcm/y being Eni’s capacity entitlements. The LNG storage capacity of the plant is 300,000 cm in two tanks. United States Cameron . The Cameron LNG terminal is situated 18 miles from the Gulf of Mexico along the Calcasieu Channel in Hackberry, Louisiana. The facility where Eni owns a capacity entitlement to treat LNG commenced operations in the third quarter of 2009. In consideration of a changed demand outlook, on March 1, 2010, Eni renegotiated certain terms of the contract with US company Cameron LNG, relating to the farming out of a share of re-gasification capacity of the Cameron terminal. The new agreement provides that Eni will be entitled to a daily send-out of 572,000 mmbtu (approximately 5.7 bcm/y) and a dedicated storage capacity of 160 kcm, giving Eni more flexibility in managing seasonal swings in gas demand. Furthermore, keeping account of the current oversupply of the US gas market, the Brass project (West Africa) for developing gas reserves to fuel the Cameron plant has been rescheduled with start-up in 2017. Pascagoula. This project is part of an upstream development project related to the construction of an LNG plant in Angola designed to produce 5.2 mmtonnes of LNG (approximately 7.3 bcm/y) destined to the North American market in order to monetize part of the Company’s gas reserves. As part of the downstream leg of the project, Eni signed a 20-year contract with Gulf LNG to buy 5.8 bcm/y of the re-gasification capacity of the plant near Pascagoula in Mississippi. The start-up of the re-gasification facility commenced in the fourth quarter of 2011, while the upstream project in Angola has yet to be started up. At the same time Eni USA Gas Marketing Llc entered a 20-year contract for the purchase of approximately 0.9 bcm/y of re-gasified gas downstream the terminal owned by Angola Supply Services, a company whose partners also own Angola LNG. Qatar Through its subsidiary Distrigas, Eni increased its development opportunities in the LNG business with access to new supply sources mainly from Qatar, under a 20-year agreement with RasGas (owned by Qatar Petroleum with a 70% interest and ExxonMobil with a 30% interest) and the Zeebrugge LNG terminal on the western coast of Belgium. 1.3 Power generation Eni’s power generation activity is conducted in the Ferrera Erbognone, Ravenna, Livorno, Taranto, Mantova, Brindisi, Ferrara and in Bolgiano plants, as well as in certain photovoltaic sites in Italy. In 2011, power production was 25.23 TWh, down 0.40 TWh, or 1.6% from 2010, mainly due to lower production at the Brindisi plant, partly offset by increases at the Ravenna and Ferrara plants. As of December 31, 2011, installed operational capacity was 5.3 GW 1 (5.3 GW in 2010). Power availability in 2011 was supported by growth in electricity trading activities (up 1.14 TWh, or 8.2%) due to higher volumes traded on the Italian power exchange benefiting from lower purchase prices. The power generation development plan mainly refers to the revamping of the Bolgiano plant (Eni 100%), the upgrading of the Taranto plant (Eni 100%), as well as the construction of a bio-mass power plant within the project for the remediation of the Porto Torres site. Development activities are currently underway also at the Ferrara plant (Eni 100%).

  1. International transport and Regulated businesses in Italy Eni has transport rights on a large European network of integrated infrastructure for transporting natural gas, which links key consumption basins with the main producing areas (Russia, Algeria, Libya and the North Sea). In Italy, Eni operates the major part of the national transport network, a number of gas underground storage deposits and related facilities, a re-gasification plant in Panigaglia and can rely on an extended system of local distribution networks. 2.1 International transportation Eni owns capacity entitlements in an extensive network of international high pressure pipelines enabling the Company to import to Italy natural gas produced in Russia, Algeria, the North Sea, including the Netherlands and Norway, and Libya. The Company participates to both entities which operate the pipelines and entities which manage transport rights. The structure of the Company’s interests in these entities has significantly changed in 2011 following the divestment of Eni’s interests in importing pipelines of natural gas from Northern Europe (TENP and Transitgas) and Russia (TAG) and related carrier companies, as part of the agreements signed on September 29, 2010 with the European Commission to settle an antitrust proceeding related to alleged anti-competitive behavior in the natural gas market. The divestments will not affect Eni’s contractual gas transport rights. A description of the main international pipelines currently participated or operated by Eni is provided below: - the TTPC pipeline , 740-kilometer long, made up of two lines that are each 370-kilometer long with a transport capacity of 33.2 bcm/y and five compression stations. This pipeline transports natural gas from Algeria across Tunisia, from Oued Saf Saf at the Algerian border to Cap Bon on the Mediterranean coast where it links with the TMPC pipeline. The pipeline was recently upgraded by increasing compression capacity in order to enable transportation of an additional 6.5 bcm/y. The upgrade was finalized in 2008 and became fully-operational during 2009; - the TMPC pipeline for the import of Algerian gas is 775-kilometer long and consists of five lines that are each 155-kilometer long with a transport capacity of 33.5 bcm/y. It crosses the underwater Sicily Channel from Cap Bon to Mazara del Vallo in Sicily, the point of entry into the Italian natural gas transport system; - the GreenStream pipeline , jointly-owned with the Libyan National Oil Company, started operations in October 2004 for the import of Libyan gas produced at Eni operated fields Bahr Essalam and Wafa. It is 520-kilometer long with a transport capacity of 8 bcm/y (expandable to 11 bcm/y) and crosses underwater in the Mediterranean Sea from Mellitah on the Libyan coast to Gela in Sicily, the point of entry into the Italian natural gas transport system. From February 22, 2011 to October 2011, in consideration of the crisis in Libya, supplies of

natural gas through the GreenStream pipeline have been suspended. Operations restarted late in October 2011; - Eni holds a 50% interest in the Blue Stream underwater pipeline (water depth greater than 2,150 meters) linking the Russian coast to the Turkish coast of the Black Sea. This pipeline is 774-kilometer long on two lines and has transport capacity of 16 bcm/y. 2.2 The South Stream project In September 2011, Eni and Gazprom within their strategic partnership signed a series of agreements in areas of common interest including the development of the South Stream project through the definition of terms for the participation to the project of gas operators Wintershall and EDF, each with a 15% stake. Gazprom and Eni hold 50% and 20% interests, respectively. In March 2012, terms for the commencement of construction of the gas pipeline were also agreed with the Final Investment Decision (FID) expected by November 2012. 2.3 Regulated businesses in Italy Reorganization of regulated businesses in Italy Implementing the so-called Third Energy Package, on December 5, 2011 with effect from January 1, 2012, "Snam Rete Gas SpA" changed its company name in "Snam SpA". At the same date Snam SpA transferred the "transportation, dispatch, remote control and metering of natural gas" business unit to a new company that from January 1, 2012, took the name of Snam Rete Gas SpA. The reorganization of Regulated businesses in Italy based on Snam SpA as holding the 100% interest in the four companies operating the transport, re-gasification, storage and distribution of natural gas, intends to build an organizational model meeting the new legal provisions on the unbundling of transport activities as provided by Italian laws implementing European Directive No. 2009/73/EC. Infrastructure Eni, through Snam (Eni’s interest being 52.53%), which is listed on the Italian Stock Exchange, operates most of the Italian natural gas transport network, a re-gasification terminal located in Panigaglia, an extensive local distribution network and gas underground storage deposits and related facilities.

Italian transport activity In light of their nature of public services, transport and re-gasification activities are regulated by the Authority for Electricity and Gas which determines the methods for calculating tariffs and fixing the return on capital employed. This makes transport a low risk business capable of delivering stable returns. Snam Rete Gas (Snam 100%) is the main operator of natural gas transport in Italy with 32,010 kilometers of high and low pressure pipelines. Eni’s network comprises: - a national transport network extending 9,080 kilometers, made up of high pressure trunk-lines mainly with a large diameter, which carry natural gas from the entry points to the system – import lines, storage sites and main Italian natural gas fields – to the linking points with regional transport networks. Gaslines can be laid underground, with maximum diameter of 1,400 mm carrying gas at a pressure between 24 and 75 bar, or underwater crossing the Messina Strait, with diameter between 500 and 650 mm and pressure up to 115 bar. Natural gas coming from outside Italy is input in the national grid at 7 entry points, corresponding to the interconnections with import pipelines (Tarvisio, Gorizia, Gries Pass, Mazara del Vallo, Gela) and LNG regasification terminals (Panigaglia and Cavarzere). Storage fields are connected to the transport network at 2 virtual entry/exit points to the storage hubs. Natural gas leaving the national grid is carried on the regional network to the delivery points where it is offtaken by customers; and - a regional transport network extending over 22,930 kilometers, made up of smaller lines, generally operated to a lower pressure, and allowing the transport of natural gas to large industrial complexes, power stations and local distribution companies in the various local areas served. The major pipelines interconnected with import trunk-lines that are part of Eni’s national network are: for natural gas imported from Algeria (Mazara del Vallo delivery point): - two lines with a 48/42-inch diameter, each approximately 1,500-kilometer long, including the smaller pipes that cross underwater the Messina Strait, connect Mazara del Vallo on the southern coast of Sicily where they link with the TMPC pipeline carrying Algerian gas, to Minerbio (near Bologna). This pipeline is undergoing upgrades with the laying of a third line with a 48-inch diameter and 583-kilometer long (of these 525 kilometers are already operation). At the Mazara del Vallo entry point the available transport capacity, which is measured at the beginning of each thermal year starting on October 1, is approximately 105 mmcm/d; for natural gas imported from Libya (Gela delivery point): - a 36-inch diameter line and 67-kilometer long linking Gela, the entry point of the GreenStream underwater pipeline, to the national network near Enna along the trunk-line transporting gas coming from Algeria. Transport capacity at the Gela entry point is approximately 38 mmcm/d; for natural gas imported from Russia (Tarvisio and Gorizia delivery points): - two lines with 42/36/34-inch diameters extending for a total length of approximately 900 kilometers connecting the Austrian network at Tarvisio. This facility crosses the Po Valley reaching Sergnano (near Cremona) and Minerbio (near Bologna). This pipeline has been upgraded by the laying of a third 264-kilometer long line with a diameter from 48 to 56 inches. The pipeline transport capacity at the Tarvisio entry point amounts to approximately 119 mmcm/d plus the transport capacity available at the Gorizia entry point of approximately 5 mmcm/d; for natural gas imported from the Netherlands and Norway (Gries Pass delivery point): - one line, with a 48-inch diameter and 177-kilometer long that extends from the Italian border at Gries Pass (Verbania), to the node of Mortara, in the Po Valley. The pipeline transport capacity at the Gries Pass entry point amounts to 64 mmcm/d; for natural gas coming from the Panigaglia LNG terminal: - one line, with a 30-inch diameter and 170-kilometer long that links

the Panigaglia terminal to the national transport network near Parma. The pipeline transport capacity at the Panigaglia entry point amounts to 13 mmcm/d; and for natural gas coming from the Rovigo Adriatic LNG terminal: - a 36-inch diameter connection at the Minerbio junction with the Cavarzere-Minerbio pipeline belonging to Edison Stoccaggio SpA, which receives gas from the LNG terminal located offshore of Porto Viro. The pipeline transport capacity at the Cavarzere entry point amounts to 26 mmcm/d. Eni’s transport system also includes: (i) eleven compressor stations with a total power of 883.7 MW used to increase gas pressure in pipelines to the level required for its flow; and (ii) four marine terminals linking underwater pipelines with the on-land network at Mazara del Vallo and Messina in Sicily and Favazzina and Palmi in Calabria. The interconnections managed by Snam Rete Gas in the Italian transport network are guaranteed by 22 linkage and dispatching nodes and by 568 plant units including pressure reduction and regulation plants. These plants allow the regulation of the flow of natural gas in the network and guarantee the connection of pipes working at different pressures. Snam Rete Gas also provides dispatching services through a central operating plant that monitors and controls the operations of the transport network, receiving data from approximately 3,000 plants, of which over 1,500 are remotely controlled and are located all over Italy. In 2011, volumes of natural gas input in the national grid (78.30 bcm) decreasing by 5.01 bcm from 2010 due to declining domestic demand. Eni transported 43.18 bcm of natural gas on behalf of third parties, down 4.68 bcm from 2010, or 9.8%. Eni, through its subsidiary GNL Italia, operates the regasification terminal of Panigaglia (La Spezia, Liguria). At full capacity, this terminal can regasify 17,500 cm of LNG per day and input 3.5 bcm/y into the Italian transport network. In 2011, the LNG terminal in Panigaglia re-gasified 1.89 bcm of natural gas (1.98 bcm in 2010). Distribution Distribution involves the delivery of natural gas to residential and commercial customers in urban centers through low pressure networks. The Company’s subsidiary Italgas and other subsidiaries operate in the distribution activity in Italy serving 1,330 municipalities through a low pressure network consisting of approximately 50,300 kilometers of pipelines supplying 5.9 million customers and distributing 7.64 bcm in 2011. Distribution activities are considered a public service and therefore are regulated by the Authority for Electricity and Gas which determines the methods for calculating tariffs and fixing the return on capital employed. Distribution activities are conducted under concession agreements whereby local public administrations award the service of gas distribution to companies. In accordance with the provisions of the relevant legislation, tenders for new natural gas distribution concessions will no longer be issued by each municipality but exclusively by the multi-municipality minimum geographical areas (known as "Ambiti Territoriali Minimi - ATEM", or local areas). Storage Eni through Stoccaggi Gas Italia SpA, operates in natural gas storage in Italy. Storage services are provided through 8 operating concessions, 4 of which are located in Lombardia (Brugherio, Ripalta, Sergnano e Settala), 3 in Emilia Romagna (Cortemaggiore, Minerbio e Sabbioncello) and 1 in Abruzzo (Fiume Treste). These storage sites are depleted gas fields and have been converted to storage by means of proper infrastructure and facilities that link them to the national grid. In particular, the storage system is managed in order to allow the optimal injection of gas and its supply in respect of technical and management constraints. Storage services are provided by means of: - storage fields; - wells; - linkage facilities; - compression stations; - treatment plants. Storage fields contain cushion gas and working gas. Cushion gas is the amount of gas necessary for the field’s operation and is the minimum indispensable volume present or injected in the field at the beginning of storage, that needs to be always present in the field. Working gas is the volume of gas produced and injected cyclically during the year. Storage activity consists of two separate phases: - injection of gas underground; - offtake of previously injected gas. Injection of gas in the fields, through storage wells, usually taking place between April and October, is achieved through compression plants that increase the pressure of gas taken from the national distribution network. Gas offtake, usually taking place between November and the following March, is achieved through treatment plants required to bring gas back to the marketing specifications. In 2011, 7.78 bcm (down 0.22 bcm from 2010) were input to the Company’s storage deposits, while 7.53 bcm of gas were off-taken (slightly lower than one year ago). In 2011, storage capacity amounted to 15 bcm, of which 5 were destined to strategic storage. The share of storage capacity used by third parties was 78% (71% in 2010).

Performance of the year I The injury frequency rate for Eni employees increased by 14% from 2010: in 2011, 26 accidents occurred. I In 2011, NO x and SO x emissions significantly declined (down 15% and down 18%, respectively) from 2010, due to the use of natural gas to replace fuel oil and to energy saving measures. I In 2011, this segment reported an adjusted net loss of euro 262 million worsening by euro 213 million from 2010, reflecting unprofitable refining margins due to rising costs for oil-based feedstock and for energy utilities linked to the former that could not be transferred to prices at the pump, also due to weak demand and excess capacity in the Mediterranean basin. Marketing results were positive but shrinking due to the decline in retail and wholesale demand for products. I Return on average capital employed on an adjusted basis was a negative 3.1% (-0.6% in 2010). I In 2011, refining throughputs were 31.96 mmtonnes (down 8.2% from 2010). In Italy, processed volumes decreased by 8.7%, reflecting the decision to cut throughputs at the Venice plant in response to an unfavorable market scenario and the impact of planned standstills at the other plants. Outside Italy, Eni’s refining throughputs decreased by 5.3% in particular in the Czech Republic as a consequence of the relevant planned downtime at the Litvinov refinery. I Retail sales in Italy of 8.36 mmtonnes decreased by 3.1%, driven by lower consumption of gasoil and gasoline in an unfavorable market scenario with high competitive pressure. Eni’s average retail market share for 2011 was 30.5%, up 0.1 percentage points from 2010. I Retail sales in the rest of Europe of 3.01 mmtonnes were down by 2.9% from 2010. Volume additions in Austria, reflecting 2010 acquisitions were offset by lower sales in Germany due to certain lease contract terminations, in France due to the rationalization of the network of service stations and in Eastern Europe due to declining demand.

I Capital expenditure of euro 866 million related mainly to projects designed to improve the conversion capacity and flexibility of refineries, logistics, upgrade of the fuel distribution network in Italy and in the rest of Europe and initiatives in the field of health, safety and the environment. I In 2011, total expenditure in R&D in the Refining & Marketing Division amounted to approximately euro 32 million, net of general and administrative costs. In the year, 8 patent applications were filed. Activities 1. Refining Eni, through its Refining & Marketing Division, is the leader operator in Italy in refining, with its five wholly owned refineries (Sannazzaro, Livorno, Porto Marghera, Taranto and Gela), and in marketing of petroleum products. In the rest of Europe Eni also holds interests in certain refining poles and is active in retail and wholesale sales in Central/Eastern Europe Countries. As of December 31, 2011, Eni’s refining system had total refinery capacity (balanced with conversion capacity) of approximately 38.3 mmtonnes (equal to 767 kbbl/d) and a conversion index of 61%. In 2011, total refinery throughputs were 31.96 mmtonnes, of which 27 mmtonnes in Italy and 4.96 mmtonnes outside Italy. Total throughputs in wholly-owned refineries were 22.75 mmtonnes, down by 2.95 mmtonnes from 2010, or 11.5%, determining a refinery utilization rate of 79%, declining from 2010 consistent with the unfavorable scenario. Approximately 22.3% of processed crude volumes was supplied by Eni’s Exploration & Production segment (15.8% in 2010) representing a 6.5 percentage point increase from 2010. n Italy Eni’s refining system in Italy is composed of five wholly-owned refineries and a 50% interest in the Milazzo refinery in Sicily. Each of Eni’s refineries in Italy have operating and strategic features that aim at maximizing the value associated to the asset structure, the geographic positioning with respect to end markets and the integration with Eni’s other activities.

(a) Capacity of conversion plant is 100%.

Sannazzaro : the refinery has balanced refining capacity of 190 kbbl/d and a conversion index of 59%. Management believes that this unit is among the most efficient refineries in Europe. Located in the Po Valley, it mainly supplies markets in North-Western Italy and Switzerland. The high degree of flexibility and conversion capacity of this refinery allows it to process a wide range of feedstock. From a logistical standpoint this refinery is located along the route of the Central Europe Pipeline, which links the Genoa terminal with French speaking Switzerland. This refinery contains two primary distillation plants and relevant facilities, including three desulphurization units. Conversion is obtained through a fluid catalytic cracker (FCC), two hydrocrackers (HdCK), which enable middle distillate conversion and a visbreaking thermal conversion unit with a gasification facility using the heavy residue from visbreaking (tar) to produce syn-gas to feed the nearby EniPower power plant at Ferrera Erbognone. Eni is developing a conversion plant employing the Eni Slurry Technology with a 23 kbbl/d capacity for the processing of extra heavy crude with high sulphur content producing high quality middle distillates, in particular gasoil, and reducing the yield of fuel oil to zero. Start-up of this facility is scheduled by the end of 2012. In addition the Short Contact Time-Catalytic Partial Oxidation project is underway for the production of hydrogen. Taranto : the refinery has balanced refining capacity of 120 kbbl/d and a conversion index of 72%. This refinery can process a wide range of crude and other feedstock. It principally produces fuels for automotive use and residential heating purposes for the Southern Italian markets. Besides its primary distillation plants and relevant facilities, including two units for the desulphurization of middle distillates, this refinery contains a two-stage thermal conversion plant (visbreaking/thermal cracking) and an RHU conversion plant for the conversion of high sulphur content residues into valuable products and catalytic cracking feedstocks. It processes most of the oil produced in Eni’s Val d’Agri fields carried to Taranto through the Monte Alpi pipeline (in 2011, a total of 2.5 mmtonnes of this oil were processed). Gela : the refinery has balanced refining capacity of 100 kbbl/d and a conversion index of 142%. This refinery is located on the southern coast of Sicily and is integrated with upstream operations as it processes heavy crude produced from Eni’s nearby offshore and onshore fields in Sicily. Its high conversion level is ensured by an FCC unit with go-finer for feedstocks upgrading and two coking plants enabling conversion of heavy residues topping or vacuum residues. The power plant of this refinery also contains residue and exhaust fume treatment plants (so-called SNOx) which allow full compliance with the tightest environmental standards, removing almost all sulphur and nitrogen composites coming from the coke burning-process. An upgrade of the Gela refinery is underway by means of a refurbishment of its power plant, substantially renewing pet-coke boilers, aimed at increasing profitability maximizing synergies deriving from the integration of refining and power generation. Livorno : the refinery, with balanced refining capacity of 84 kbbl/d and a conversion index of 11%, manufactures mainly gasoline, fuel oil for bunkering and lubricant bases. Besides its primary distillation plants, this refinery contains two lubricant manufacturing lines. Its pipeline links with the local harbor and with the Florence storage sites by means of two pipelines optimizes intake, handling and distribution of products. Venice : the refinery, with balanced refining capacity of 80 kbbl/d and a conversion index of 20%, this refinery supplies mainly markets in North-Eastern Italy and Austria. Besides its primary distillation plants, this refinery contains a two-stage thermal conversion plant (visbreaking/thermal cracking) designed to increase yields of valuable products. Milazzo : jointly-owned by Eni and Kuwait Petroleum Italy, the refinery has balanced primary refining capacity of 80 kbbl/d (Eni’s share) and a conversion rate of 73%. It is located on the northern coast of Sicily and is provided with two primary distillation plants, one unit of fluid catalytic cracking (FCC), one hydrocracking unit for the conversion of middle distillates (HdCK) and one unit devoted to the residue treatment process (LC-Finer).

n Outside Italy In Germany, Eni holds an 8.33% interest in the Schwedt refinery and a 20% interest in Bayernoil, an integrated pole that included Vohburg and Neustadt refineries. Eni’s refining capacity in Germany amounts to approximately 60 kbbl/d mainly used to supply Eni’s distribution network in Bavaria and Eastern Germany. Eni holds a 32.4% stake in Ceska Rafinerska, which includes two refineries, Kralupy and Litvinov, in the Czech Republic. Eni’s share of refining capacity amounts to about 53 kbbl/d. In addition, through its 33.34% interest in Galp, Eni participates two refineries in Portugal: a small one in Porto specialized in the manufacture of lubricant bases and a larger and more complex refinery in Sines integrated with petrochemical productions. 2. Logistics Eni is a primary operator in storage and transport of petroleum products in Italy with its logistical integrated infrastructure consisting of 20 directly managed storage sites and a network of petroleum product pipelines for the sale and storage of refined products, LPG and crude oil. Eni’s logistics model is organized in a hub structure including five main areas. These hubs monitor and centralize the handling of product flows aiming to drive forward more efficiency particularly in cost control of collection and delivery of orders. Eni holds interests in five joint entities established by partnering the major Italian operators. These are located in Vado Ligure-Genova (Petrolig), Arquata Scrivia (Sigemi), Venice (Petroven), Ravenna (Petra) and Trieste (DCT) and aim at reducing logistic cost, and increasing efficiency. Eni operates in the transport of oil and refined products: (i) by sea, through spot and long-term lease contracts of tanker ships; and (ii) on land, through the ownership of a pipeline network extending approximately 1,447 kilometers. Secondary distribution to retail and wholesale markets is effected through third parties who also own their means of transportation.

  1. Marketing n Retail Italy In Italy Eni is leader in retail marketing of refined products with a 30.5% market share, up 0.1 percentage point from 2010. Retail sales in Italy of 8.36 mmtonnes (10.6 billion liters) decreased by approximately 270 ktonnes (10.9 billion liters), or down 3.1%, driven by lower consumption of gasoil and gasoline, particularly in the highway segment which was hit by automotive transport decline. Average gasoline and gasoil throughput (2,173 kliters) decreased by approximately 149 kliters from 2010. At December 31, 2011, Eni’s retail network in Italy consisted of 4,701 service stations, 159 more than at December 31, 2010 (4,542 service stations), resulting from the positive balance of acquisitions/releases of lease concessions (158 units), the opening of new service stations (14 units), partly offset by the closing of service stations with low throughput (13 units). The re-branding of Eni’s service stations continued in 2011. We plan that by the end of 2012 80% of our proprietary service stations will have been re-branded to the "eni brand". In the context of weak domestic demand for fuels and rising competition, despite a planned reduction of approximately 500 service stations, management plans to preserve the

market share achieved in 2011 (30.5%) by improving service quality, upgrading our outlets, retaining customers by means of innovative marketing actions and segmentation of the offering (in function of payment modalities or quality of the product, enhancing the role of loyalty programs). Great focus will be dedicated to improve efficiency by the automation of part of the network. Finally we expect a growing contribution to profitability by non-oil activities as we intend to expand the quality and range of products and services offered to our customers and pursue continuing innovation in the layout of our stores located at our proprietary outlets. Premium fuels In 2011, even sales of premium fuels (fuels of the "eni blu+" line with high performance and lower environmental impact), despite the support of strong promotional campaigns, were affected by the decline in domestic consumption and were lower than the previous year. In particular, sales of eni bludiesel+ amounted to approximately 493 mmtonnes (approximately 592 mmliters) with a decline of approximately 80 ktonnes from 2010 and represented 9% of volumes of gasoil marketed by Eni’s retail network. At December 31, 2011, service stations marketing bludiesel+ totaled 4,130 units (4,071 at 2010 year-end) covering approximately 88% of Eni’s network. Retail sales of blusuper+ amounted to 62 ktonnes (approximately 83 mmliters), with a slight decrease from 2010, and covered 2.4% of gasoline sales on Eni’s retail network (down 0.2% from a year ago). At December 31, 2011, service stations marketing blusuper+ totaled 2,703 units (2,672 at December 31, 2010), covering approximately 57% of Eni’s network. Within the development of innovative fuels and bio-fuels, in addition to the mentioned eni blu+ line, Eni is working at new catalysts for desulphuration for the optimization of gasoil quality and, with particular reference to bio-fuels, is studying the use of non food feedstocks – deriving from biomass at the Donegani Research Center – for its Ecofining proprietary technology, identifying new bio-components pro fuel, and evaluating their compatibility with engines. Promotional actions you&eni In 2010, Eni launched the new " you&eni " loyalty points program, which will last 3 years until January 31, 2013. This initiative offers prizes to customers in proportion to their purchases of fuels and convenience items through the accumulation of points on a loyalty card at service stations’ stores as well as at the ones of certain partners to the program. With reference to the promotional initiative, the cards that made at least one transaction in the period were approximately 6.5 million at December 31, 2011. The average number of cards monthly active was approximately 2.6 million. Volumes sold to customers cumulating points on their card were approximately 39% of total throughputs. Iperself In 2011, Eni, in addition to its "Iperself" promotional campaign which provides a discount to customers purchasing fuel in self-service stations during closing hours, launched a new promotional campaign denominated "Iperself h24". This promotion provides a discount on the corresponding price at self-service pump during the all day. Jointly with other marketing activities this initiative supported sales against the backdrop of weak demand and increased price elasticity. Multicard Routex The Routex Multicard paying card is addressed to professional transport (transporters and car fleets) and provides users with services ranging from delayed payment to discounts on fuel prices, centralized invoicing, reports on consumption and distances covered, in addition to toll paying in highways. This initiative aims at gaining loyalty from customers across Europe as the card can be used in Italy on all Agip branded service stations and, in its international version, on the service stations of all members of the Routex consortium (Aral, BP, OMV and Statoil). Non-oil In 2011, Eni continued to be engaged in increasing its supply of non-oil products and services in its service stations in Italy by developing a chain of franchised outlets, in particular: (i) "enicafé", a format present in 350 stations following the upgrading of bars and stores in its network; (ii) "enicafé&shop", a format including corners for the sale of food and car-care products in 200 Eni outlets. In 2011, Eni also launched a new self-service option h24 of food, non-food and personal care products by means of the installation of Eni branded vending machines in 150 outlets with the aim of extending this service to over 1,000 outlets in the next two years. In 2011, non-oil returns on retail network, including lubricants margins, were euro 67.4 million. n Retail rest of Europe In 2011, retail sales of refined products marketed in the rest of Europe (3.01 mmtonnes) were down 2.9% (approximately 90 ktonnes) from 2010. Volume additions in Austria, reflecting the 2010 acquisitions, were offset by lower sales in Germany due to certain lease contract terminations, in France due to the rationalization of service stations with lower throughput and in Eastern Europe due to declining demand. At December 31, 2011, Eni’s retail network in the rest of Europe consisted of 1,586 units, a decrease of 39 units from December 31, 2010 (1,625 service stations). The network evolution was as follows: (i) the closing of 41 low throughput service stations mainly in Austria and France; (ii) the negative balance of acquisitions/releases of lease concessions (17 units) with negative changes in particular in Germany, Austria and Switzerland; (iii) the purchase of 12 service stations, in particular in France and Germany; and (iv) the opening of 7 new outlets. Average throughput (2,299 kliters) decreased by 142 kliters from 2010 (2,441 kliters). Eni’s strategy in the rest of Europe is focused on selectively growing its market share, particularly in Germany and Eastern Countries (e.g. Czech Republic) leveraging on the synergies

ensured by the proximity of these markets to Eni’s production and logistics facilities. 4. Wholesale Business Fuels Eni markets gasoline and other fuels on the wholesale market in Italy, including diesel fuel for automotive use and for heating purposes, for agricultural vehicles and for vessels and fuel oil. Major customers are resellers, agricultural users, manufacturing industries, public utilities and transports, as well as final users (transporters, condominiums, farmers, fishers, etc.). Eni provides its customers with its expertise in the area of fuels with a wide range of products that cover all market requirements. Customer care and product distribution is supported by a widespread commercial and logistical organization presence all over Italy and articulated in local marketing offices and a network of agents and concessionaires. In 2011, sales volumes on wholesale markets in Italy (9.36 mmtonnes) were down by approximately 90 ktonnes from 2010, or 1%, mainly reflecting a decline in demand from transports and industrial customers due to a generalized slowdown and strong competitive pressure which affected in particular bunkering and bitumen, but also LPG due to unusual weather conditions. Jet fuel and fuel oil sales increased, while gasoil sales dropped starkly in 2011. Eni’s wholesale market share for 2011 averaged 28.3%, down 0.9 percentage points from 2010 (29.2%). Supplies of feedstock to the petrochemical industry (1.71 mmtonnes) were basically in line with 2010 recording a slight decline of 10 ktonnes related to lower feedstock supplies due to lowering demand from industrial customers. Sales on wholesale markets outside Italy (3.84 mmtonnes) decreased by 1%, mainly in Hungary, Germany and the Czech Republic, while sales increased in Austria, Switzerland and France. Other sales (18.31 mmtonnes) decreased by 1.29 mmtonnes, or 6.6%, mainly due to lower sale volumes to oil companies. Eni also markets jet fuel directly at 49 airports, of which 27 are in Italy. In 2011, these sales amounted to 2.1 mmtonnes (of which 1.6 mmtonnes in Italy). Eni is also active in the international market of bunkering, marketing marine fuel mainly in 120 ports, of which 80 in Italy. In 2011, marine fuel sales were 1.98 mmtonnes (1.91 mmtonnes in Italy). LPG In Italy, Eni is leader in LPG production, marketing and sale with 601 ktonnes sold for heating and automotive use equal to a 18.9% market share. An additional 214 ktonnes of LPG were marketed through other channels mainly to oil companies and traders. LPG activities in Italy are supported by direct production, availability from 5 bottling plants and 4 owned storage sites, in addition to products imported at coastal storage sites located in Livorno, Naples and Ravenna. Outside Italy, LPG sales in 2011 amounted to 485 ktonnes of which 384 ktonnes in Ecuador where LPG market share is around 37.5%. Lubricants Eni operates seven (owned and co-owned) blending plants, in Italy, Europe, North and South America, Africa and the Far East. With a wide range of products composed of over 650 different blends Eni masters international state-of-the-art know-how for the formulation of products for vehicles (engine oil, special fluids and transmission oils) and industries (lubricants for hydraulic systems, industrial machinery and metal processing). In Italy, Eni is leader in the manufacture and sale of lubricant bases. Base oils are manufactured primarily at Eni’s refinery in Livorno. Eni also owns one facility for the production of additives and solvents in Robassomero. In 2011, retail and wholesale sales in Italy amounted to 100 ktonnes with a 23.6% market share. Eni also sold approximately 4 ktonnes of special products (white oils, transformer oil and anti-freeze fluids). Outside Italy sales amounted to approximately 140 ktonnes, of these about 60% were registered in Europe (mainly Spain, Germany, Austria and France). Oxygenates Eni, through its subsidiary Ecofuel (Eni’s interest 100%), sells approximately 1.7 mmtonnes/y of oxygenates mainly ethers (approximately 5.3% of world demand) and methanol (approximately 0.9% of world demand). About 80% of products are manufactured in Italy in Eni’s plants in Ravenna, in Venezuela (in joint venture with Pequiven) and Saudi Arabia (in joint venture with Sabic) and the remaining 20% is bought and resold. Eni also distributes bio-ETBE on the Italian market in compliance with the new legislation indicating the minimum content of bio-fuels. Bio-ETBE is a kind of MTBE that gained a relevant position in the formulation of gasoline in the European Union, due to the fact that it is produced from ethanol from agricultural crops and qualified as bio-component in the European directive on bio-fuels. Starting from March 1, 2010, Italian regulation on bio-fuels content has been changed from 3% to 3.5%. Through bio-ETBE and FAME blending into fossil fuels Eni covered the compliance within 96% in 2011. From January 1, 2012, the compulsory content of bio-fuels increases to 4.5% from 2011 4%, Eni plans to cover compliance through bio-ETBE, FAME and direct blending of ethanol in gasolines in particular in some extents of Sannazzaro refinery inland.

(a) Before elimination of intragroup sales.

Performance of the year I In 2011, injury rates of employees and contractors continued to follow the positive trends of previous years (down 4.5% and 22.6%, respectively). I In 2011, emissions of greenhouse gases NMVOC, SO x and NO x decreased due to lower sale volumes and to energy saving interventions performed in the year. I In 2011, the percentage of reused water was approximately 80%, barely unchanged from previous years. I In 2011, the sector reported a significant increase in adjusted net loss (euro 208 million, down euro 123 million) from 2010, due to higher supply costs of oil-based feedstock which were not recovered in sale prices on end markets in a context of substantial decrease in demand. I Sales of petrochemical products were 4,040 ktonnes, down 691 ktonnes, or 14.6%, from 2010 due to lower demand. Petrochemical production volumes were 6,245 ktonnes, decreased by 975 ktonnes, or down 13.5%, due to a decline in demand for petrochemical products in all business, with the only exception of elastomers (up 1%). In 2011, the average plant utilization rate decreased from 72.9 to 65.3 due to reduced production in a phase of economic slowdown. I Average unit sales prices increased by 20% from 2010 due to the positive impact of the oil price scenario (virgin naphtha prices increased by 31% from 2010). I In 2011, overall expenditure in R&D amounted to approximately euro 32 million in line with the previous year. A total of new 13 patent applications were filed. Green Chemistry I In June 2011 Eni, through its subsidiary Polimeri Europa 1 , signed a cooperation agreement with Novamont SpA to convert Eni’s Porto Torres chemical plant into an innovative bio-based chemical complex to produce bio-plastics and other bio-based products (bio-lubricants and bio-additives) for which significant growth is expected in the medium/long-term. The project will be supported by an integrated supply chain and raw materials of vegetable origin. Novamont will contribute with its technologies and skills in the bio-plastics and bio-based chemical sector. Eni will contribute to the joint entity with its Porto Torres plant, infrastructure and professional staff as well as its industry, technical engineering and commercial know-how in the petrochemical sector. In addition, Eni aims to build a biomass power plant and to carry out a number of projects for the environmental restoration and clean-up

activities. Eni plans to make capital expenditures totaling approximately euro 1.2 billion in the 2011-2016 period to execute the above mentioned projects, directly or through the joint entity. Activities Eni through Versalis performs activities of production and marketing of petrochemical products (basic petrochemicals and polymers), leveraging on a wide range of proprietary technologies, advanced production facilities, as well as a large and efficient retail network present in 18 European Countries. The principal objective of basic petrochemicals is granting the adequate availability of monomers (ethylene, butadiene and benzene) covering the needs of further production processes: in particular olefins production is strictly linked with the polyethylene and elastomers business, aromatics grant the benzene availability necessary to produce intermediate products used in the production of resins, artificial fibers and polystyrene. In polymers business Versalis is one of the most relevant European producers of elastomers, where it is present in almost all the relevant sectors (in particular the automotive industry), polystyrene and polyethylene, whose most relevant use is in flexible packaging.

Business areas Basic petrochemicals Basic petrochemicals account for one of the pillars of the petrochemical activities of Versalis, whose products have a range of important industrial uses, such as the production of polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC and polystyrene. They are also used in the production of petrochemical intermediates that converge, in turn, into a range of other productive processes: plastics, rubbers, fibers, solvents and lubricants. Basic petrochemicals revenues (euro 2,987 million) increased by euro 154 million from 2010 (up 5.4%) in all main business segments due to the steep increase in average unit prices (olefins/aromatics up 20%, intermediates up 16%) as a result of an improved scenario, partly offset by lower volumes sold (down 18% on average). In particular, a decline was reported in sale volumes of olefins (ethylene down 22%; butadiene down 57% due to the lack of raw material) and intermediates (down 21% on average, in particular phenol and acetone). Basic petrochemicals production (4,101 ktonnes) decreased by 759 ktonnes from last year (down 15.6%) due to lower sales/demand of monomers. Lower ethylene production reflected facility downtimes in the Porto Marghera and Porto Torres plants. In addition, intermediates sales decreased (down 14%) due to unavailability of raw material and planned facility downtimes in the Mantova plant. In the intermediates business a new technology was introduced at a pilot scale aimed at eliminating the coproduction of acetone, a dangerous and unwanted co-product. Polymers In polymers business, Versalis is active in the production of: - Polyethylene that accounts for 40% of the total volume of world production of plastic materials. It is a basic plastic material, used as a raw material by companies that transform it into a range of finished goods. - Styrenics are polymeric materials based on styrenes that are used in a very large number of sectors through a range of transformation technologies. The most common applications are for industrial packaging and in the food industry, small and large electrical appliances, building isolation, electrical and electronic devices, household appliances, car components and toys. - Elastomers are polymers characterized by high elasticity that allow them to regain their original shape even after having been subjected to extensive deformation. Versalis has a leading position in this sector and produces a wide range of products for the following sectors: tyres, footwear, adhesives, building components, pipes, electrical cables, car components and sealings, household appliances; they can be used as modifiers for plastics and bitumens, as additives for lubricating oils (solid elastomers); paper coating and saturation, carpet backing, molded foams, adhesives (synthetic latex). Versalis is one of the world’s major producers of elastomers and synthetic latex. In 2011 polymers revenues (euro 3,299 million) increased by euro 173 million from 2010 (up 5.5%) due to increases in average unit prices (elastomers up 34%, styrene polymers up 12%; polyethylene up 11%). Sale volumes decreased on average by 11.5% (main decreases were registered in polyethylene, down 16%, lattices down 15%, polybutadiene and thermoplastic rubbers down approximately 9%) due to a steep decline in demand. Sales of ABS and SBR rubbers showed an opposite trend, up 5% and 2%, respectively. Polymers production (2,144 ktonnes) decreased by 216 ktonnes from 2010 (down 9%), mainly polyethylene (down 15%) due to the delay in the restart of the Dunkerque production lines, planned facility downtimes at Priolo, Ragusa and Gela in the last part of the year as well as decline in demand.

NON-GAAP measures

Reconciliation of reported operating profit and reported net profit to results on an adjusted basis

Management evaluates Group and business performance on the basis of adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit, which are arrived at by excluding inventory holding gains or losses and special items. Furthermore, finance charges on finance debt, interest income, gains or losses deriving from the evaluation of certain derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss (as they do not meet the formal criteria to be assessed as hedges under IFRS, excluding commodity derivatives), and exchange rate differences are all excluded when determining adjusted net profit of each business segment. The taxation effect of the items excluded from adjusted operating or net profit is determined based on the specific rate of taxes applicable to each of them. The Italian statutory tax rate is applied to finance charges and income (38% is applied to charges recorded by companies in the energy sector, whilst a tax rate of 27.5% is applied to all other companies). Adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit are non-GAAP financial measures under either IFRS, or US GAAP. Management includes them in order to facilitate a comparison of base business performance across periods, and to allow financial analysts to evaluate Eni’s trading performance on the basis of their forecasting models. In addition, management uses segmental adjusted net profit when calculating return on average capital employed (ROACE) by each business segment. The following is a description of items that are excluded from the calculation of adjusted results. Inventory holding gain or loss is the difference between the cost of sales of the volumes sold in the period based on the cost of supplies of the same period and the cost of sales of the volumes sold calculated using the weighted average cost method of inventory accounting. Special items include certain significant income or charges pertaining to either: (i) infrequent or unusual events and transactions, being identified as non-recurring items under such circumstances; or (ii) certain events or transactions which are not considered to be representative of the ordinary course of business, as in the case of environmental provisions, restructuring charges, asset impairments or write ups and gains or losses on divestments even though they occurred in past periods or are likely to occur in future ones. As provided for in Decision No. 15519 of July 27, 2006 of the Italian market regulator (Consob), non recurring material income or charges are to be clearly reported in the management’s discussion and financial tables. Also, special items include gains and losses on re-measurement at fair value of certain non-hedging commodity derivatives, including the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges and certain derivatives financial instruments embedded in the pricing formula of long-term gas supply agreements of the Exploration & Production Division. Finance charges or income related to net borrowings excluded from the adjusted net profit of business segments are comprised of interest charges on finance debt and interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents not related to operations. In addition, gains or losses on the fair value evaluation of the aforementioned derivative financial instruments, excluding commodity derivatives and exchange rate differences are excluded from the adjusted net profit of business segments. Therefore, the adjusted net profit of business segments includes finance charges or income deriving from certain segment-operated assets, i.e., interest income on certain receivable financing and securities related to operations and finance charge pertaining to the accretion of certain provisions recorded on a discounted basis (as in the case of the asset retirement obligations in the Exploration & Production Division). Finance charges or interest income and related taxation effects excluded from the adjusted net profit of the business segments are allocated on the aggregate Corporate and financial companies. For a reconciliation of adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit to reported operating profit and reported net profit see tables below.

Eni Fact Book Supplemental oil and gas information

Supplemental oil and gas information

Oil and natural gas reserves Eni’s criteria concerning evaluation and classification of proved developed and undeveloped reserves follow Regulation S-X 4-10 of the US Securities and Exchange Commission and have been disclosed in accordance with FASB Extractive Activities - Oil & Gas (Topic 932). Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible, from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations, prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time. Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an un-weighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions. In 2011, the marker price for Brent was $111 per barrel. Net proved reserves exclude interests and royalties owned by others. Proved reserves are classified as either developed or undeveloped. Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well. Undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Since 1991, Eni has requested qualified independent oil engineering companies to carry out an independent evaluation 1 of part of its proved reserves on a rotational basis. The description of qualifications of the person primarily responsible of the reserve audit is included in the third party audit report 2 . In the preparation of their reports, independent evaluators rely, without independent verification, upon data furnished by Eni with respect to property interest, production, current cost of operation and development, sale agreements, prices and other factual information and data that were accepted as represented by the independent evaluators. These data, equally used by Eni in its internal process, include logs, directional surveys, core and PVT (Pressure Volume Temperature) analysis, maps, oil/gas/water production/injection data of wells, reservoir studies and technical analysis relevant to field performance, long-term development plans, future capital and operating costs. In order to calculate the economic value of Eni equity reserves, actual prices applicable to hydrocarbon sales, price adjustments required by applicable contractual arrangements, and other pertinent information are provided. In 2011, Ryder Scott Company and DeGolyer and MacNaughton 2 provided an independent evaluation of almost 32% of Eni’s total proved reserves as of December 31, 2011 3 , confirming, as in previous years, the reasonableness of Eni’s internal evaluations. In the three year period from 2009 to 2011, 85% of Eni’s total proved reserves were subject to independent evaluation. As of December 31, 2011, the principal property not subjected to independent evaluation in the last three years is Kashagan (Kazakhstan). Eni operates under Production Sharing Agreements, PSAs, in several of the foreign jurisdictions where it has oil and gas exploration and production activities. Reserves of oil and natural gas to which Eni is entitled under PSA arrangements are shown in accordance with Eni’s economic interest in the volumes of oil and natural gas estimated to be recoverable in future years. Such reserves include estimated quantities allocated to Eni for recovery of costs, income taxes owed by Eni but settled by its joint venture partners (which are state-owned entities) out of Eni’s share of production and Eni’s net equity share after cost recovery. Proved oil and gas reserves associated with PSAs represented 57%, 55% and 49% of total proved reserves as of December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively, on an oil-equivalent basis. Similar effects as PSAs apply to service and "buy-back" contracts; proved reserves associated with such contracts represented 2%, 3% and 1% of total proved reserves on an oil-equivalent basis as of December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Oil and gas reserve quantities include: (i) oil and natural gas quantities in excess of cost recovery which the company has an obligation to purchase under certain PSAs with governments or authorities, whereby the company serves as producer of reserves. Reserve volumes associated with oil and gas deriving from such obligation represent 0.3%, 0.6% and 0.8% of total proved reserves as of December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively, on an oil-equivalent basis; (ii) volumes of natural gas used for own consumption; (iii) the quantities of hydrocarbons related to the Angola LNG plant; and (iv) volumes of natural gas held in certain Eni storage fields in Italy. Proved reserves attributable to these fields include: (a) the residual natural gas volumes of the reservoirs; and (b) natural gas volumes from other Eni fields input into these reservoirs in subsequent periods. Proved reserves do not include volumes owned by or acquired from third parties. Gas withdrawn from storage is produced and thereby removed from proved reserves when sold. Numerous uncertainties are inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves, in projecting future productions and development expenditures. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and engineering and geological interpretation and evaluation.

Eni Fact Book Supplemental oil and gas information

The results of drilling, testing and production after the date of the estimate may require substantial upward or downward revisions. In addition, changes in oil and natural gas prices have an effect on the quantities of Eni’s proved reserves since estimates of reserves are based on prices and costs relevant to the date when such estimates are made. Consequently, the evaluation of reserves could also significantly differ from actual oil and natural gas volumes that will be produced. The following table presents yearly changes in estimated proved reserves, developed and undeveloped, of crude oil (including condensate and natural gas liquids) and natural gas as of December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011.

represent only those revenues and expenses directly
associated with such activities, including operating
overheads. These amounts do not include any allocation of
interest expense or general corporate overhead and,
therefore, are not necessarily indicative of the
contributions to consolidated net earnings of Eni.
Related income taxes are computed by applying the local
income tax rates to the pre-tax income from producing
activities. Eni is a party to certain Production Sharing
Agreements (PSAs), whereby a portion of Eni’s share
of oil and gas production is withheld and sold by its
joint venture partners which are state-owned entities,
with proceeds being remitted to the state in satisfaction
of Eni’s PSA related tax liabilities. Revenue and
income taxes include such taxes owed by Eni but paid by
state-owned entities out of Eni’s share of oil and
gas production.
(b) i Includes
asset impairments amounting to euro 576 million in 2009.

Eni Fact Book Supplemental oil and gas information

Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows

Estimated future cash inflows represent the revenues that would be received from production and are determined by applying year-end prices of oil and gas for the year ended December 31, 2008, and the average prices during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 to estimated future production of proved reserves. Future price changes are considered only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements. Estimated future development and production costs are determined by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves at the end of the year. Neither the effects of price and cost escalations nor expected future changes in technology and operating practices have been considered. The standardized measure is calculated as the excess of future cash inflows from proved reserves less future costs of producing and developing the reserves, future income taxes and a yearly 10% discount factor. Future production costs include the estimated expenditures related to the production of proved reserves plus any production taxes without consideration of future inflation. Future development costs include the estimated costs of drilling development wells and installation of production facilities, plus the net costs associated with dismantlement and abandonment of wells and facilities, under the assumption that year-end costs continue without considering future inflation. Future income taxes were calculated in accordance with the tax laws of the Countries in which Eni operates. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, related to the preceding proved oil and gas reserves, is calculated in accordance with the requirements of FASB Extractive Activities - oil&gas (Topic 932). The standardized measure does not purport to reflect realizable values or fair market value of Eni’s proved reserves. An estimate of fair value would also take into account, among other things, hydrocarbon resources other than proved reserves, anticipated changes in future prices and costs and a discount factor representative of the risks inherent in the oil and gas exploration and production activity.

Eni: important new discovery in Mozambique

• The discovery made at Coral 1 exploration prospect is estimated to range between 7 and 10 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas in place • The overall potential for Area 4 is now estimated to range between 47 and 52 tcf of gas in place

San Donato Milanese (Milan), May 16, 2012 - Eni announces a new giant natural gas discovery in Area 4, offshore Mozambique, at the Coral 1 exploration prospect.

The results for this well, drilled in the southern part of Area 4, are of particular significance. The Coral discovery is estimated to contain between 7 and 10 tcf of gas in place, exclusively located in Area 4. With these new results at Coral 1, Eni estimates that the resources exclusively located in Area 4 range between 15 and 20 tcf of gas in place. The new discovery further increases the total potential of the Mamba complex discovered so far in Area 4 Offshore Rovuma, which is now estimated to hold between 47 and 52 tcf of gas in place.

Coral 1 is located 65 kilometers off the Capo Delgado coast in a water depth of 2,261 meters and reaches a total depth of 4,869 meters. The well was drilled approximately 26 kilometers south east of the Mamba South 1 discovery.

The discovery well encountered a total of 75 meters of gas pay in single high-quality Eocene sand. This discovery is particularly significant since it confirms a new exploration play, which is independent of those drilled so far in previous Mamba wells. Eni will run a production test on the Coral 1 discovery.

Eni plans to drill at least another five wells to fully establish the upside potential of Area 4. Eni is the operator of Area 4 with a 70-percent participating interest. Co-owners in the area are Galp Energia (10 percent), KOGAS (10 percent) and ENH (10 percent, carried through the exploration phase).
