Eni Fact Book Eni

Eni is an integrated company engaged in the energy chain. Eni’s strong presence in the gas market, our operations in LNG, 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 2012 adjusted net profit was euro 7.13 billion, up by 2.7% from a year ago. It was up by 7.6% when excluding Snam’s results included in the continuing operations 1 . These results were driven by an excellent performance reported by the Exploration & Production Division on the back of a recovery in Libyan production. Net cash generated by operating activities from continuing operations amounted to euro 12.36 billion and together with the robust proceeds from divestments enabled the Company to finance capital expenditure and other investments of euro 13.33 billion and to pay dividends to Eni’s shareholders and other minorities for euro 4.38 billion, while reducing net borrowings by euro 12.52 billion. Leverage decreased to 0.25 at December 31, 2012 from 0.46 at December 31, 2011. The Board of Directors proposed to the Shareholders’ Meeting the distribution of a dividend of euro 1.08 per share representing a 4% increase from 2011. In 2012, Eni continued its commitment in incident prevention also by means of training programs on safety and emergency prevention. For the seventh consecutive year the injury frequency rate relating to employees and contractors decreased by 12.3% and 21.1% respectively, compared to 2011. In 2012, the Exploration & Production Division reported adjusted net profit amounting to euro 7.43 billion (up 8.2% from 2011) driven by improved operating performance. Oil and natural gas production for the full year was 1,701 kboe/day (up 7% from 2011) sustained by the recovery of activities in Libya, the start-up/ramp-up of fields, particularly in Russia and Australia, and higher production in Iraq. Net proved reserves at December 31, 2012 was an eight-year record at 7.17 bboe based on a reference Brent price of $111 per barrel. The organic reserves replacement ratio was 147% with a reserves life index of 11.5 years (12.3 years in 2011). All sources reserves replacement ratio was 107%. The Gas & Power Division reported adjusted net profit of euro 473 million, almost doubled from 2011 due to the benefits associated with the renegotiations of the supply contracts and the full recovery of Libyan supplies. Worldwide gas sales, net of Galp sales, maintained their levels supported by a strong presence in the Italian residential market and presence in strategic European markets of France and Germany/Austria in addition to increasing international sales of LNG. In a scenario weighted down by a steep fall in fuel demand in Italy, the Refining & Marketing Division managed to reduce adjusted operating loss by euro 85 million from 2011 (down euro 179 million). This result reflects the better operating performances and improved efficiency and performance of refineries. Results posted by the Marketing activity were impacted by falling demand for fuel, high competitive pressure and increased expenses associated with certain marketing initiatives including a special discount on prices at the pump during the summer week-ends. The average market share in Italy was 31.2%, up 0.7 percentage points from 2011. The Engineering & Construction sector reported adjusted net profit amounting to euro 1,109 million reflecting the robust operating performance recorded mainly in the Drilling businesses, while the Engineering & Construction business reported a decline. The Chemical sector reported a significant increase in adjusted net loss (euro 395 million, down euro 189 million) from 2011, due to a weak trend in demand for commodities reflecting the economic downturn and a fall in unit margins.

(1) The Snam contribution excluded is the result of Snam transactions with Eni included in the continuing operations according to IFRS 5. Adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit are not provided by IFRS.

Eni Fact Book Eni

The energy market has become even more challenging on the back of the uncertainty of the macro-economic scenario, mainly in Europe, recent trends in demand even more hinged on emerging Countries and discoveries of high potential basins for hydrocarbon production. Against this backdrop, Eni’s strategy for the 2013-2016 four-year period confirms the priorities of profitably growing oil and gas production, recovering profitability in the downstream gas sector, improving efficiency in the downstream oil and in the chemical sector. 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. Following the divestment of Snam and other portfolio operations, Eni has strengthened its financial structure reaching a leverage of 0.25. Net cash generated by operating activities and portfolio management will enable Eni to finance the planned relevant capital expenditure to fuel long-term growth (euro 56.8 billion) and to remunerate Eni’s shareholders. Management is targeting a net debt to equity ratio in the 0.1-0.3 range by the end of the plan period even in case of fluctuations and volatility of Brent prices in the scenario and results of our businesses. Business strategies and targets In Exploration & Production , Eni confirms its strategy of organic growth focused on exploration and reserve replacement as major drivers for value creation. Growth will be fuelled by new production additions in Eni’s core areas (North and Sub-Saharan Africa, Venezuela, Barents Sea, Yamal Peninsula, Kazakhstan, Iraq and the Far East) leveraging Eni’s vast knowledge of reservoirs and geological basins, technical and producing synergies, as well as established partnerships with producing Countries. Average production growth is expected at a rate of more than 4% in the 2013-2016 period, supported by the development of core areas (Sub-Saharan Africa, and in particular Mozambique, Venezuela, Barents Sea, Yamal Peninsula in Russia, Kazakhstan, Iraq and Indonesia). Growth will be associated to increased profitability and risk management reducing time to market (more than 90% of the discoveries made in 2008-2012 will reach production within 8 years from their discovery) and retaining large volumes of operated production, in order to directly manage schedules and budget costs of development projects. Technological innovation and the application of proprietary technologies will allow to reach cost efficiency and acquire key competences for supporting increasing production and recovery rates, developing drilling techniques to be applied in complex environments, marginal areas and deep and ultra-deep waters. This growth strategy will be supported by the mitigation of operational, political, Country and environmental risks. Eni confirms its commitment to improving the safety of employees and contractors, strengthening the tools for management, training and control, and ensuring asset integrity and process security. Environmental impact targets include the containment of accidental oil spills from 2.9 boe/mmboe to 2.4 boe/mmboe by 2016, an over 30% reduction in GHG emission rates in the E&P segment for each thousand of toe of gross operated production by 2015 as compared to 2010 deploying flaring down policies especially in Africa and energy efficiency programs. Projects for production water reinjection will lead to a rate of reinjection of 65% of total water produced by 2016.

Eni Fact Book Eni

In the Gas & Power Division, Eni intends to recover profitability leveraging on (i) a competitive and flexible cost position thanks to contract renegotiation; (ii) an expansion in gas sales in Italy through its sales force, diversified offer of innovative products and best-in-class services, mainly to the retail segment; (iii) a selective development in activities outside Italy, focusing on more profitable segments and increasing LNG sales in profitable markets outside Europe. In the 2013-2016 period Eni intends to preserve its market share in Italy and abroad taking account of the expected increase in supply and logistics costs implementing efficient marketing initiatives. Management intends to reach a greater integration of trading and commodity price risk management with the supply activities and the non-retail commercial sales of gas and LNG to fully centralize and optimize Eni’s commodity risk exposure in markets characterized by more and more evolved counterparties. In Refining & Marketing , Eni expects to gradually recover profitability throughout the plan period leveraging on optimization of industrial plants and of logistics operations by means of higher flexibility, process integration and efficiency; selective investments targeting to upgrade conversion capacity and asset integrity; the conversion of the Venice plant into a "bio-refinery" to produce bio-fuels; cost reduction programs. In Marketing operations management plans to strengthen Eni’s leadership in the Italian retail market leveraging on opportunities deriving from the liberalization process (i.e. closing stations with low throughput, boosting full "iperself" mode and development of non-oil activities). Building on these initiatives, in the 2013-2016 four-year period, Eni expects; (i) to increase its adjusted EBIT under constant scenario assumptions (base 2012) by euro 0.4 billion by 2016 (in line with the previous Plan’s targets); (ii) to maintain its retail market share in Italy. In Chemical segment Eni confirms its strategy of progressively reducing the exposure to loss-making commodity chemicals while at the same time developing innovative and niche productions which are expected to yield better returns such as elastomers and the expansion of the specialties segment. Eni intends to grow the green-chemistry business leveraging on the ongoing project of converting its Porto Torres site in a modern plant for the manufacture of eco-compatible chemical products. The recent strategic alliances in Asia, supported by our technological know-how and the enhancement of Eni’s proprietary technology platform confirm a greater internationalization of our business, projecting it towards markets characterized by high-growth demand rates. In the Engineering & Construction segment, Eni confirms its target of consolidating the global competitive position achieved in the offshore and onshore businesses and its role as high-quality niche player in the deepwater drilling business. Saipem will leverage on the enhancement of the EPC(I)-oriented business model, its world-class technology, engineering and delivering skills, its strong local presence and established relationships with oil Majors and National Oil Companies. In this light the company targets to strengthen its construction ability particularly in large highly-complex projects, in harsh environments, keeping a selective commercial approach. Our focus on local content in strategic areas will contribute to the monetization of achieved competitive advantages.

(b) Net of general and administrative costs. (c) From July 1, 2012, Eni has updated the natural gas conversion factor from 5,550 to 5,490 standard cubic feet of gas per barrel of oil equivalent. The effect of this update on production expressed in boe was 9 kboe/d for the full-year 2012 and on the initial reserves balance as of January 1, 2011, amounted to 40 mmboe. Other per-boe indicators were only marginally affected by the update (e.g. realization prices, costs per boe) and also negligible was the impact on depletion charges. Other oil companies use different conversion rates.

Eni Fact Book Eni business model

Eni’s excellent market position and competitive advantages derive from the Company’s strategic decision-making which is consistent with the long-term nature of the business, and relies on a sustainable business model fonde on a consolidated and distinctive way of doing business, in a frame work of clear and straightforward rules of corporate governance and respectful of the highest ethical standards and rigorous risk management. Eni’s strategies, decisions in terms of resource allocation and day-by-day operations underpin sustainable value creation to shareholders and, more generally, all of our stakeholders: the host communities where we work through our contribution to socio-economic standards improvement and responsibly using resources; our people to whom we dedicate our best efforts to preserve health and safety of the workplace and to enhance each individual’s contribution and diversity; our suppliers, partners and public administrations with whom we interact by running our operations in a transparent manner, respecting human rights and tackling with corruption; finally our clients to whom we offer competitive and up with the times commercial choices and high quality services. In 2012 Eni laid the foundations for a new growth phase of its oil and gas production tank to numerous exploration successes, the entry in new Countries and the management of activities in well established Countries of activity. These results are based on the great attention paid to the specific features of the Countries where Eni operates and thus on cooperation for their development. Starting from an assessment of their potential Eni promotes partnerships providing local people new opportunities for growth and development. This is a competitive lever in the Countries where Eni’s experience is more recent but

also in more established areas. In each one of them our objective is to create high quality jobs targeted at local resources on an equal opportunity basis. The culture of plurality is a distinctive feature of Eni’s strongly internationally oriented business model. The inclusion of all Eni people with their diversity merges with the protection of health and safety on the workplace, with the professional development and engagement in the company’s objectives. Eni guarantees equal treatment to its entire people defining worldwide remuneration policies and committing itself and its suppliers to the respect of the basic workers’ rights in all the Countries of operation. Responsibility is assumed as commitment to transparency and anticorruption practices while respecting human rights in all areas and promoting the development of Countries and their society. In deploying its activities, Eni activates a flow of resources that can prove crucial for economic growth. Only a strict discipline of integrity and promotion of transparency, in particular as concerns payments to producing Countries can protect from corruption and build the basis for a proper use of these resources aimed at sustainable development. The ultimate aim of sustainable growth is upheld by Eni through a way of operating based on operating excellence that leverages on best practices, quality systems, advanced and high quality technologies to guarantee full respect of communities and their environment. A safe management of plants and the mitigation of risks represent a prerequisite for a proper environmental management and for the reduction of environmental impacts. The exploration of frontier areas and territories that are considered difficult and environmentally sensitive are the result not only of Eni’s drive to development while applying new technologies but also of a responsible and sustainable corporate strategy. Eni’s presence worldwide in the most sensitive areas was made possible by technological innovation and the application of advanced methodologies that allow work also in harsh contexts guaranteeing the protection of the environments and the conservation of sensitive ecosystems and biodiversity. Lastly, as an integrated energy company , Eni works alongside governments of producing Countries in planning and designing solutions for the development of local energy systems, cooperating with national companies in the development of energy sources and building infrastructure for their use and monetization. One of the main actions performed concerns the fight against energy poverty in particular in Sub-Saharan Africa with the support of the development of local technologies and the reduction of waste where infrastructure already exist. Eni’s commitment to energy for all has been renewed in 2012 in the UN Conference on sustainable development Rio+20. In Europe, in particular in Italy, Eni is committed to respond to the new industrial challenges by working on higher value added products and a widening and differentiation of its range of products. Eni has in fact started a new path of evolution and relaunch of its chemical and refining activities directing its focus on the so called green chemistry and bio-refining.

Performance of the year
I In 2012 employees
and contractors injury frequency rate declined by 31.7%
and 12.2% compared to the previous year. - Total greenhouse gas emissions increased by 20.6% due
to the recovery of activities in Libya. Greenhouse gas
emissions from flaring were in line with 2011 (down
0.9%). - Oil spills increased in the full year (up 5.6% from
accidents and up 9.5% from sabotage and terrorism) due to
force majeure and security issues in Nigeria. - Achieved the best ever levels in re-injection of the
produced water with a level of 49%. In particular, the
water re-injection project at the Belayim field
(Eni’s interest 100%) in Egypt reported a level
equal to 99%. - In 2012 the E&P Division
reported a record performance with an adjusted net profit
amounting to euro 7,425 million (up 8.2% from 2011)
driven by an ongoing production recovery in Libya. - Eni reported oil and natural gas production for the
full year of 1,701 kboe/day (up 7% form 2011) 1 sustained by the recovery of activities in Libya, the
start-up/ramp-up of fields, particularly in Russia and
Australia, and higher production in Iraq. - Estimated net proved reserves at December 31, 2012 was
aneight-year record at 7.17 bboe based on a reference
Brent price of $111 per barrel. The organic reserves
replacement ratio was 147% 1 with a reserves
life index of 11.5 years (12.3 years in 2011). All

Exploration activity I Full year 2012 was a record for exploration, adding 3.64 bboe of discovered resources, about six times production of the year, increasing Eni’s reserves to best ever levels with rapid time-to-market and cost effectiveness. Eni’s approach in the selective development initiatives, advanced technologies and knowledge management of core basins will be the key to achieve future targets. - The exploration campaign executed in Mozambique in the Area 4 offshore the Rovuma basin proved the Mamba gas complex to be the largest discovery in the Company’s exploration history. Eni estimates the full mineral potential of Area 4 at 75 Tcf of gas in place. The geological studies confirmed the high productivity of exploration wells. This means that this huge resource base can be exploited with a limited number of producing wells that will make the upstream project highly efficient. - In the Barents Sea, appraisal activities at the Skrugard discovery and the new Havis discovery showed recoverable reserves estimated at approximately 500 mmbbl at 100% in the license PL 532 (Eni’s interest 30%). - In Ghana, appraisal activities at the Sankofa discovery in the Offshore Cape Three Points license (Eni operator with a 47.22% interest) confirmed the overall potential of the discovery to be around 450 million barrels of oil in place. - A relevant onshore discovery in Pakistan with an estimated resource from 300 to 400 bcf of gas in place and in line with Eni’s strategy of focusing on conventional and synergic assets. - Onshore exploration activity in Libya was resumed by drilling the A1-108/4 exploration well that will reach a total depth of approximately 4,420 meters. This is the first well of an onshore exploration campaign that will continue in 2013, marking a relevant step in the full recovery of Eni’s upstream activity in the Country. - Other significant exploration successes were achieved in Egypt, Congo, Indonesia, Angola, the United States and Nigeria where synergies with existing infrastructures ensure to reduce time-to-market discovered resources. - Eni’s portfolio was boosted with the acquisition of new exploration acreage in high potential areas such as Kenya, Liberia, Vietnam, Cyprus, offshore Russia and shale gas in Ukraine, as well as legacy areas such as China, Pakistan, Indonesia and Norway. - In 2012 exploration expenditure amounted to euro 1,850 million (up 52.9% from 2011) to complete 60 new exploratory wells (34.1 net to Eni). The overall commercial success rate was 40% (40.8% net to Eni). In addition 144 exploratory wells drilled are in progress at year end (62 net to Eni). Sustainability and portfolio developments I Signed an agreement with CNPC/Petrochina to sell 28.57% of the share capital of our subsidiary Eni East Africa, which currently owns 70% interest in Area 4 in Mozambique, for an agreed price equal to $4,210 million. The deal is subject to approval by relevant authorities. Once finalized, CNPC indirectly acquires, through its 28.57% equity investment in Eni East Africa, a 20% interest in Area 4, while Eni will retain the 50% interest through the remaining controlling stake in Eni East Africa. - The international Contracting Companies of the Final Production Sharing Agreement (FPSA) of the Karachaganak field and the Republic of Kazakhstan closed a settlement agreement of all pending claims relating to the recovery of costs incurred to develop the field. The Contracting Companies divested 10% of their rights and interest in the project to Kazakhstan’s KazMunaiGas for $1 billion net cash consideration ($325 million being Eni’s share). Eni’s interest in the Karachaganak project has been reduced to 29.25% from the 32.5% previously held. - Signed an agreement with Anadarko Petroleum Corporation establishing basic principles for the coordinated development of common offshore activities in Area 4, operated by Eni and Area 1, operated by Anadarko. Furthermore, the two companies will jointly plan and construct onshore LNG liquefaction facilities in Northern Mozambique. - The Consortium partners and the Authority of the Republic of Kazakhstan reached an agreement on the Amendment to the sanctioned development plan of the Kashagan field (Amendment 4) which included an update to the project schedule, a revision of investments estimate and the settlement of all pending claims relating to recoverable costs and other tax matters. The commercial production start-up is expected by the end of the first half of 2013. - Developed a training program in the field of human rights for staff, in particular employed in the security area, at Eni’s subsidiaries in Congo and Angola. The activities involved about 900 employees in the Pointe Noire and Luanda area, respectively. - Divested production and development assets in Italy, Nigeria, Norway, the United Kingdom and offshore Gulf of Mexico confirming a selective growth approach to optimize Eni’s asset portfolio. - Sanctioned by Venezuelan authorities the development plan of the Perla gas project, in Block Cardón IV (Eni’s interest 50%), in the Gulf of Venezuela. In 2012 two more phases were sanctioned to reach a plateau production of approximately 1,200 mmcf/d. - Made final investment decisions to develop fields, in addition to the above mentioned Perla field, in Angola, Congo, Nigeria and Italy which are expected to add 59 kboe/d in 2016. - Development expenditure was euro 8,304 million (up 12.9% from 2011) to fuel the growth of major projects in Norway, the United States, Congo, Italy, Kazakhstan, Angola and Algeria. - In 2012 overall R&D expenditure of the Exploration & Production Division amounted to approximately euro 94 million (euro 90 million in 2011).

interest 65%), Kitina (Eni’s interest 35.75%), Awa Paloukou (Eni’s interest 90%), M’Boundi (Eni’s interest 83%), Kouakouala (Eni’s interest 75%), Zingali and Loufika (Eni’s interest 85%) fields, with a production of approximately 77 Kboe/d in the year. Other relevant producing areas are a 35% interest in the Pointe-Noire Grand Fond, PEX and Likouala permits (overall production of 26 kboe/d in 2012). Development Activities on the M’Boundi field moved forward with the application of Eni advanced recovery techniques and a design to monetize associated gas within the activities aimed at zero gas flaring by 2013. Gas is sold under long-term contracts to power plants in the area including the CEC Centrale Electrique du Congo (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 2012 M’Boundi contractual supplies were approximately 106 mmcf/d (approximately 17 kboe/d net to Eni). In 2012 the development project for the gas and condensates Litchendjili field in the Block Marine XII has been sanctioned. The project provides for the installation of a production platform, the construction of transport facilities and of an onshore treatment plant. Production will also feed the CEC power station. Other activities in the area concerned the optimization of producing fields of Foukanda and Mwafi by means of Eni’s enhanced recovery that allowed to increase production in both fields. Exploration 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. Exploration activities yielded positive results in the offshore block Marine XII with the Nene Marine 1 gas discovery that confirmed the high mineral potential of the area. Ghana Eni has been present in Ghana since 2009 and currently is the operator of the Offshore Cape Three Points (Eni’s interest 47.2%) and Offshore Keta Contract Area (Eni’s interest 35%) exploration permits. Exploration activities yielded positive results in the Offshore Cape Three Points license with the: (i) Sankofa East-1X well, the first commercial oil discovery in the area that flowed at approximately 5 kbbl/d of high quality oil in test production; (ii) the Sankofa East-2A appraisal well that confirmed the high mineral potential of the western area. The total potential of the Sankofa discovery is estimated at 450 mmbbl of oil in place with recoverable reserves up to 150 mmbbl. Studies for a fast track commercial development are underway. In July 2012, Eni and its partners in the OCPT license, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Energy of Ghana for the development and marketing of discovered gas resources. The Memorandum focuses particularly on the domestic gas market, in which Eni and its joint venture partners wish to play a prominent role. Activities progressed to support local communities, focusing mainly on: (i) local economy and training programs for women and young people; and (ii) enhancement of health conditions particularly for children. Mozambique Eni has been present in Mozambique since 2006, following the acquisition of the Area 4 block located in the offshore Rovuma Basin. In 2012 exploration and appraisal campaigns achieved new exploration successes in Area 4 located in the Rovuma Basin with the Mamba South 2, Mamba North 1, Mamba North East 1 and 2 as well as Coral 1 and 2 gas discoveries. The latest Mamba North East and Coral discoveries are particularly significant since they confirm a new exploration play in Area 4, which is independent from Mamba’s structure. Eni estimates the full mineral potential of Area 4 at 75 Tcf of gas in place. FID is expected in 2014. In early 2013 a new exploration success was achieved with the delineation of Coral 3 gas well that strengthen the mineral potential of the area operated by Eni. The wells, drilled at the Coral prospect, showed excellent results during the production test. Eni plans to drill a further delineation well, Mamba South 3, before moving back to exploration drilling in the southern sector of Area 4. In December 2012, Eni signed an agreement with Anadarko Petroleum Corporation establishing basic principles for the coordinated development of common offshore activities in Area 4, operated by Eni and Area 1, operated by Anadarko. Furthermore, the two companies plan to jointly design and construct onshore LNG liquefaction facilities in Northern Mozambique. In March 2013, Eni signed an agreement with CNPC/Petrochina to sell 28.57% of the share capital of the subsidiary Eni East Africa, which currently owns 70% interest in Area 4, for an agreed price equal to $4,210 million. The deal is subject to approval by relevant

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, when sanctioned, the onshore part of Phase 2. On May 23, 2012 the Consortium partners and the Authority of the Republic of Kazakhstan signed an agreement to amend the sanctioned development plan at the Experimental Program of the Kashagan field (Amendment 4) which included an update to the project schedule, a revision of investment estimates and a settlement agreement of all pending claims relating to recoverable costs and other tax matters. The amendment also included a commercial framework to supply a share of the natural gas produced from Kashagan to the domestic market and an agreement whereby the international partners of the Consortium shall finance the share of project cost to be borne by the Kazakh KMG partner, in excess to the amounts sanctioned in the original budget costs (Amendment 3). In 2012 the Experimental Program progressed at the last phase of mechanical completion while commissioning and pre-start up activities achieved an advanced stage. Production plants are planned to be handed over to the production organization and tested. Start-up and commercial production is expected by the end of the first half of 2013, as agreed with the Republic of Kazakhstan. The Phase 1 (Experimental Program) targets an initial production capacity of 150 kbbl/d; by 2014 a second treatment train and compression facilities for gas reinjection will be completed and put 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 submitted the scheme of this additional phase to the relevant Kazakh Authorities and sanction is expected in 2013 to start-up with FEED phase. Eni continues its commitment in the protection of the environment and ecosystems in the Caspian area with the integrated program for the management of biodiversity in the Ural Delta (Ural River Park Project - URPP). The project is almost completed and Eni’s aim is to include it in the Man and Biosphere Program of UNESCO under the patronage of the Kazakh Minister for Environmental Protection. Karachaganak Located onshore in West Kazakhstan, Karachaganak is a liquid and gas field. 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. On June 28, 2012, the international Contracting Companies of the Final Production Sharing Agreement (FPSA) of the giant Karachaganak gas-condensate field and the Republic of Kazakhstan closed a settlement agreement of all pending claims relating to the recovery of costs incurred to develop the field and certain tax matters. The contracting companies transferred 10% of their rights and interest in the project to Kazakhstan’s KazMunaiGas for $1 billion net cash consideration ($325 million being Eni’s share). From the effective date of June 28, 2012, Eni’s interest in the Karachaganak project has been reduced to 29.25% from the 32.5% previously held. The agreement also includes the allocation of an additional 2 mmtonnes/y capacity in the Caspian Pipeline. Production In 2012, production of the Karachaganak field averaged 239 kbbl/d of liquids (61 net to Eni) and 788 mmcf/d of natural gas (approximately 222 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 90% of liquid production are stabilized at the Karachaganak Processing Complex (KPC) with a capacity of approximately 250 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 Phase 3 of the Karachaganak project is currently under study. The project is aimed at further developing gas and condensates reserves by means of the installation, in stages, of gas treatment plants and re-injection facilities to increase gas sales and liquids production. The development plan is currently in the phase of technical and marketing definition to be presented to the relevant Authorities. Eni continues its commitment to support local communities by means of the construction of schools and educational facilities, water and energy systems and the implementation of free health assistance for the villages located in the nearby area of Karachaganak.

This deal terminated a multi-year derivative transaction the Company entered into in order to hedge exposure to the variability in cash flows on the sale of a portion of the Company’s proved reserves for an original amount of approximately 125.7 mmbbl in the 2008-2011 period.

Performance of the year

Commercial agreements in the Far East In January 2013, Eni signed a trilateral agreement with Korea Gas Corporation and Japanese company Chubu Electric Power Company for the sale of 28 loads of LNG (liquefied natural gas) corresponding to 1.7 million tonnes of LNG in the 2013-2017 period. Entry in the French and Belgian markets I In October 2012, Eni launched its brand in the gas retail market in France and in the business and retail gas and power market in Belgium. The Eni brand substituted the local operators ones acquired in the past few years with the aim of becoming one of the major retail operators in France and Belgium while consolidating its leadership on the Belgian business market. I In 2012, Eni’s continuous commitment and the resources dedicated to safety allowed to improve significantly the main accident frequency rates. In particular the positive trend was confirmed for employees (down 24.6% from 2011), while the rate for contractors returned to levels lower than in 2010, improving by 30% from 2011. 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) reached 89.8 (basis 100) increasing by 1.2 percentage points from 2011. I In 2012, the water consumption rate of EniPower’s plants declined both in absolute value (down 11.2% from 2011) and per kWh eq produced (down 13.8%). I In 2012, adjusted net profit was euro 473 million, almost doubled from 2011 due to a better performance of the Marketing business in a scenario characterized by weak demand and rising competitive pressure. This performance offset the decline in selling prices reflecting in part the benefits associated with the renegotiations of the supply contracts, certain of which have been finalized after 2011 year-end and the improvement in the supply mix also following the full recovery of Libyan supplies.

I Worldwide gas sales decreased by 1.5% to 95.32 bcm due to lower European demand and competitive pressures. Sales in Italy were in line with 2011, while they declined slightly in European markets, in particular in Benelux due to competitive pressure and in the Iberian Peninsula due to the divestment of Galp. I Electricity sales of 42.58 TWh increased by 2.30 TWh from 2011, up 5.7%. I Capital expenditure of euro 225 million concerned essentially flexibility and upgrading of combined cycle power stations (euro 131 million) and initiatives in gas marketing (euro 81 million).

Eni’s Gas & Power segment engages in all phases of the natural gas value chain: supply, trading and marketing of natural gas and LNG. This segment also includes power generation and 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, in addition to long-term relations with producing Countries. 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, 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 Eni Gas & Power NV portfolio of supplies and excluding Eni’s other subsidiaries and affiliates) with a residual life of approximately 16 years and a pricing mechanism that indexed the cost of gas to the price of crude oil and its derivatives (gasoil, fuel oil, etc.). Eni could also leverage on 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 18 Countries, where Eni also holds upstream activities and by access to European spot markets. In 2012, Eni’s consolidated subsidiaries supplied 86.74 bcm of natural gas, representing an increase of 3.36 bcm, or 4% from 2011. Gas volumes supplied outside Italy (79.19 bcm from consolidated companies), imported in Italy or sold outside Italy, represented approximately 91% of total supplies, an increase of 3.03 bcm, or 4%, from 2011, mainly reflecting higher volumes purchased from Libya (up 4.23 bcm), almost tripled from 2011 when the GreenStream gas pipeline had been shutdown. Increased volumes were purchased also from the Netherlands (up 0.95 bcm) and from Algeria (up 0.51 bcm). Declines were recorded in gas purchases from Russia (down 1.17 bcm) due to the recovery of Libyan supplies, the UK (down 0.37 bcm) and Norway (down 0.17 bcm).

Supplies in Italy (7.55 bcm) increased slightly from 2011 also due to higher domestic production that offset the decline of mature fields. In 2012, 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 (1.9 bcm); (iii) Libyan fields (1.8 bcm) increasing by almost 1.2 bcm due to the effect of force majeure recorded in 2011; (iv) the United States (1.6 bcm); (v) other European areas (Croatia with 0.2 bcm). Considering also direct sales of the Exploration & Production Division 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. In Italy, the Authority for Electricity and Gas regulates and defines the tariff system for the sole retail market, in particular for those customers who have not chosen their supplier on the free market (when the liberalization of the sector occurred, in 2010), 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 national and regional natural gas network. Wholesalers mainly include local selling companies that resell natural gas to residential customers through low pressure distribution networks as well as distributors of natural gas for automotive use. 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 2,600 clients including large businesses, power generation utilities, wholesalers and distributors of natural gas for automotive use. Residential users are 7.45 million and include households, professionals, small and medium sized enterprises, and public bodies located all over Italy. Despite a 4% decline in natural gas demand, sales volumes on the Italian market were substantially stable at 34.78 bcm (up 0.10 bcm, or 0.3% from 2011). Lower sales to the power generation segment (down 1.76 bcm), industrial customers (down 0.51 bcm) and wholesalers (down 0.28 bcm), due to the negative scenario and increasing competitive pressure, were offset by higher sales on the Italian exchange for gas and spot markets (up 2.28 bcm) and, at a lower extent, to the residential segment (up 0.22 bcm) reflecting efficient commercial initiatives. Sales to shippers were down 0.51 bcm, or 15.7%, due to the discontinuance of certain supply contracts despite the recovery of Libyan supplies.

Marketing outside Italy Despite a challenging market scenario and rising competitive pressures, Eni intends to organically grow in particular in certain European key market such as Germany/Austria and Benelux, leveraging on our brand awareness, our multi-Country approach and on a pan-European commercial platform as well as delivering innovative and tailor-made offering structures to best suit customers’ needs by providing complex pricing formulas with flexibility on volumes and different ways to manage pricing. In 2012, sales of natural gas were 95.32 bcm, down 1.44 bcm or 1.5% from 2011. Sales included Eni’s own consumption, Eni’s share of sales made by equity-accounted entities and Exploration & Production sales in Europe and in the Gulf of Mexico. Sales on target markets in Europe of 48.29 bcm showed a slight decline from 2011 (down 2.9%). This decline was mainly due to a decline in sales in Benelux (down 3.53 bcm) due to rising competitive pressure and in the Iberian Peninsula (down 1.19 bcm) due to the exclusion of Galp sales after the loss of control offset only in part by increases recorded in France (up 1.35 bcm) and Germany/Austria (up 1.31 bcm) due to commercial initiatives performed. Sales to markets outside Europe increased by 0.55 bcm due to higher LNG sales in the Far East, in particular in Japan. Exploration & Production sales in Northern Europe and in the United States (2.73 bcm) declined by 0.13 bcm due to lower sales in the North Sea.

A review of Eni’s presence in key European markets is presented below.

Benelux Through a direct presence and the integration with its affiliate Eni Gas & Power NV, 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 2012, sales in Benelux were mainly directed to industrial companies, wholesalers and power generation and amounted to 10.31 bcm, down by 3.53 bcm, or 25.5%, due to rising competitive pressure, in particular in the wholesalers segment. In October 2012, Eni launched its brand in the retail gas and power market in Belgium. The Eni brand substituted the local operators ones acquired in the past few years with the aim of becoming one of the major retail operators in the Country while consolidating its leadership on the Belgian business market. 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 Eni Gas & Power France SA. In 2012, sales in France amounted to 8.36 bcm (7.01 bcm in 2011), an increase of 1.35 bcm, or 19.3%, from a year ago. In October 2012, Eni launched its brand in the gas retail market in France. The Eni brand substituted the local operators ones acquired in the past few years with the aim of becoming one of the major retail operators in the Country. Germany/Austria Eni is present in the German natural gas market through a direct marketing structure which sold in 2012 approximately 4.40 bcm in Germany and 0.94 bcm in Austria and its associate GVS (Gasversorgung Süddeutschland GmbH - Eni 50%) which sold approximately 4.48 bcm in 2012 (2.24 bcm being Eni’s share). In 2012, sales in the Germany/Austria market amounted to 7.78 bcm, an increase of 1.31 bcm, or 20.2%, 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 2012, UFG gas sales in Europe amounted to 4.82 bcm (2.41 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 2012, Eni sales in Spain amounted to 5.24 bcm representing a slight decrease from a year ago. In 2012, total sales in the region amounted to 6.29 bcm, a decrease of 1.19 bcm, or 15.9% from a year ago. Turkey Eni sells gas supplied from Russia and transported via the Blue Stream pipeline. In 2012, sales amounted to 7.22 bcm, an increase of 0.36 bcm, or 5.2% from a year ago. UK Eni, through its subsidiary ETS, markets in the UK the equity gas produced at Eni’s fields in the North Sea and operates in the main continental natural gas hubs (NBP, Zeebrugge, TTF).

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 has reduced the Country’s dependence on gas imports via LNG. In expansion the activity on Far East premium markets. Eni’s main assets and projects in the LNG business are described below. Qatar Through its subsidiary Eni Gas & Power NV, 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. 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 in 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 Eni owns a capacity entitlement to treat LNG on Cameron terminal in Louisiana (USA) where operations commenced 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 2012. 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. Due to the negative prospects for marketing in the USA, Eni, through its subsidiary and the other shareholders have drafted a new development plan for the contract that minimizes the supplies to the US market and directs them to other more profitable markets. 1.3 Power generation Eni’s power generation activity is conducted in the Ferrera Erbognone, Ravenna, Livorno, Taranto, Mantova, Brindisi, Ferrara and Bolgiano plants, as well as in certain photovoltaic sites in Italy. In 2012, power production was 25.67 TWh, up 0.44 TWh, or 1.7% from 2011, mainly due to higher production at the Ferrara plant, offset in part by decreases registered at the Ferrera Erbognone and Ravenna plants. In 2012 electricity sales (42.58 TWh) were directed to the free market (75%), the Italian power exchange (14%), industrial sites (8%) and others (3%). The 5.7% increase was due to growth in the client base as a result of effective marketing policies, despite weak domestic demand. As of December 31, 2012, installed operational capacity was 5.3 GW (5.3 GW as of December 31, 2011). Power availability in 2012 was supported by the growth in electricity trading activities (up 1.86 TWh, or 12.4%) due to higher volumes traded on the Italian power Exchange benefiting from lower purchase prices. The power generation development plan mainly refers to the upgrading and flexibilization of combined cycle plants and the revamping of the Bolgiano plant.

International transport Eni holds 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). Eni owns capacity entitlements in an extensive network of international high pressure pipelines enabling the Company to import natural gas produced in Russia, Algeria, the North Sea, including the Netherlands and Norway, and Libya to Italy. The Company participates to both entities which operate the pipelines and entities which manage 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. In 2009 the pipeline was upgraded by increasing compression capacity in order to enable transportation of an additional 6.5 bcm/y; - 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; - 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. It is part of a joint venture to sell gas produced in Russia on the Turkish market.

Performance of the year

I The injury frequency rates decreased from 2011(down 45% for employees and 27.7% for contractors). I In 2012 continued the declining trend of GHG, NO x and SO x emissions, benefiting from energy saving measures and increasing use of natural gas to replace fuel oil. I The 2012 scenario was weighted down by a steep fall in fuel demand in Italy and continued deteriorating fundamentals in the refining activity amidst volatile margins. Against this backdrop, Eni’s Refining & Marketing Division managed to reduce adjusted operating loss by euro 85 million from 2011 (down euro 179 million). This result reflects the better operating performances and improved efficiency and performance of refineries. Results posted by the Marketing activity were impacted by falling demand for fuel, high competitive pressure and increased expenses associated with certain marketing initiatives including a special discount on prices at the pump during the summer week-ends. I In 2012 refining throughputs were 30.01 mmtonnes, down 6.1% from 2011. In Italy, processed volumes decreased by 7.8% due to scheduled standstills in order to mitigate the negative impact of the trading environment mainly at the Taranto and Gela refineries. Outside Italy, Eni’s refining throughputs increased by 3.2% in particular in the Czech Republic. I Retail sales in Italy of 7.83 mmtonnes decreased by 6.3% from 2011. This decline was driven by sharply lower consumption of gasoil and gasoline in Italy (down 8.3% from 2011) and increased competitive pressure. In 2012 Eni’s average retail market share was 31.2% increasing by 0.7 percentage points from 2011 benefiting from the commercial initiatives made in the third quarter of 2012. I Retail sales in the rest of Europe of 3.04 mmtonnes improved slightly from 2011 (up 1%). Volume additions in Austria and Switzerland, reflecting successful commercial initiatives were offset by lower sales in Eastern Europe due to declining demand.

I Capital expenditure of euro 842 million related mainly to refining, supply and logistics (euro 583 million) to improve plants flexibility and yields, in particular at the Sannazzaro Refinery, and marketing for the streamlining and rebranding of the retail distribution network (euro 223 million). I In 2012 total expenditure in R&D in the Refining & Marketing Division amounted to approximately euro 34 million, net of general and administrative costs. In the year 7 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 European Countries. As of December 31, 2012, 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 2012, total refinery throughputs were 30.01 mmtonnes, of which 24.89 mmtonnes in Italy and 5.12 outside Italy. Total throughputs in wholly-owned refineries were 20.84 mmtonnes, down by 1.91 mmtonnes or 8.4% from 2011 determining a refinery utilization rate of 73%, declining by six percentage points from 2011 consistent with the unfavorable scenario. Approximately 22.8% of volumes of processed crude was supplied by Eni’s Exploration & Production segment representing a 0.5 percentage point increase from 2011 (22.3%). 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 has 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 in 2013. In addition the Short Contact Time-Catalytic Partial Oxidation project is underway for the production of hydrogen. In addition, Eni is developing a conversion technology by means of Slurry Dual Catalyst (an evolution of EST) that is based on the combination of two nanocatalysts and could lead to a relevant breakthrough in the EST process, increasing its productivity and improving product quality, reducing expenditure and operating costs. In addition at the Sannazzaro Refinery the detailed design of a project for the production of hydrogen by means of the proprietary Hydrogen SCT-CPO (Short Contact Time-Catalytic Partial Oxidation) process is nearing completion. This reforming technology transforms gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons (also derived from biomass) into synthetic gas (carbon monoxide and hydrogen) at competitive costs. 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 2012, a total of 2.26 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 SNO x ) 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 and optimizes intake, handling and distribution of products.

Porto Marghera : the refinery, with balanced refining capacity of 80 kbbl/d and a conversion index of 20%, 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. Eni intends to convert this plant into a bio-refinery based on an established proprietary technology (Ecofinig) for the production of bio-diesel. The conversion process is scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2013 while production is expected in early 2014 when the conversion is completed. 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 76%. 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 8.3% interest in the Schwedt refinery and a 20% interest in Bayernoil, an integrated pole that includes the 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 Ceská Rafinerska, which includes two refineries, Kralupy and Litvinov, in the Czech Republic. Eni’s share of refining capacity amounts to about 53 kbbl/d.

  1. 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. 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. 3. Marketing n Retail Italy In Italy Eni is leader in retail marketing of refined products with a 31.2% market share, up 0.7 percentage points from 2011. In 2012, retail sales in Italy of 7.83 mmtonnes decreased by approximately 530 ktonnes, down 6.3%, from 2011 driven by lower consumption of gasoil and gasoline, in particular in highway service station related to the decline in freight transportation. Average gasoline and gasoil throughput (1,976 kliters) decreased

Eni Fact Book Refining & Marketing

by approximately 197 kliters from 2011. At December 31, 2012, Eni’s retail network in Italy consisted of 4,780 service stations, 79 more than at December 31, 2011 (4,701 service stations), resulting from the positive balance of acquisitions/releases of lease concessions (92 units), the opening of new service stations (10 units), partly offset by the closing of service stations with low throughput (23 units). Premium fuels In 2012 even sales of premium fuels (fuels of the "eni blu+" line with high performance and lower environmental impact) were affected by the decline in domestic consumption and were lower than the previous year. In particular, sales of eni bludiesel+ amounted to approximately 292 mmtonnes (approximately 350 mmliters) with a decline of approximately 201 ktonnes from 2011 and represented 6% of volumes of gasoil marketed by Eni’s retail network. At December 31, 2012, service stations marketing bludiesel+ totaled 4,123 units (4,130 at 2011 year-end) covering approximately 86% of Eni’s network. Retail sales of blusuper+ amounted to approximately 35 ktonnes (approximately 47 mmliters), decreasing by 27 ktonnes from 2011, and covered 1.5% of gasoline sales on Eni’s retail network (down 0.9% from a year ago). At December 31, 2012, service stations marketing blusuper+ totaled 2,505 units (2,703 at December 31, 2011), covering approximately 52% of Eni’s network. In 2012 Eni continued the development of innovative fuels and biofuels with proprietary additives and detergents that provide better gasoline and gasoil with a "keep clean" component. Eni also continues its activity in the area of special fuels for racing (Aprilia racing, Ducati, Moto 2, Moto 3, Superbike). Promotional actions Within the initiatives aimed at favoring consumption in a negative economic scenario and at creating a sounder customer relationship, Eni launched the following campaigns: "riparti con eni" In the summer of 2012 for twelve week-ends in Eni stations the "riparti con eni" initiative provided customers in the hyperself mode of service an exceptionally lower price equal all over the Country. In a scenario of weak demand and increasing price elasticity, this initiative led to the sale of over a million liters of fuels and a relevant increase in monthly market share (along with the iperself 24h initiative on over 3,280 service stations): June was up 5.4%, July up 8.3%, August up 8.2% and September up 4.7%. Co-marketing In the first months of 2013 Eni signed a number of agreements with partners in the large distribution and telecommunications in order to provide immediate advantages to customers provided with Eni loyalty cards aimed at providing greater value to Italian families purchasing goods. New loyalty and payment cards In November 2012 Eni launched its campaign for the diffusion of a new line of "loyalty card", available in reloadable, prepaid and credit card versions, through which customers can accumulate even more points in the Eni and Agip branded service stations that can be used for all daily purchases made outside of the Eni network in over 30 million stores. Cards offered come in four different versions: - basic prepaid with an annual expense ceiling of euro 2,500; - prepaid with contract for an annual expense ceiling at euro 12,500; - credit card; - young, for customers aged between 14 and 23 and half. Routex Multicard 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 2012, 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: - "enicafé", which is a format deployed at 610 stations following the upgrading of existing bars and stores where foods and other services (wifi connection, payments, etc.) are marketed; - "enishop24", Eni 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 550 outlets; - "eni carwash", areas for car washing, mainly automatic, which are present in 180 service stations. In 2012, non-oil returns on retail network, including lubricants margins, were euro 61.2 million. n Retail rest of Europe Retail sales in the rest of Europe of 3.04 mmtonnes were basically stable (up 1% or 10 ktonnes). Volume additions in Austria and Switzerland reflecting successful commercial policies were almost completely offset by lower sales in Eastern Europe due to declining demand. At December 31, 2012, Eni’s retail network in the rest of Europe consisted of 1,604 service stations, an increase of 18 units from December 31, 2011 (1,586 service stations). The network evolution was as follows: (i) the closing of 28 low throughput service stations mainly in Austria and France; (ii) the positive balance of acquisitions/

releases of lease concessions (33 units) in particular in Austria; (iii) the purchase of 11 service stations, in particular in Austria; (iv) the opening of 2 new outlets. Average throughput (2,319 kliters) increased by 20 kliters from 2011 (2,299 kliters). Eni’s strategy in the rest of Europe is focused on selectively growing its market share, particularly in Germany, Austria 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. Along with traditional products provided with the Eni high quality 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 present all over Italy and articulated in local marketing offices and a network of agents and concessionaires. Wholesale sales in Italy (8.62 mmtonnes) declined by approximately 740 ktonnes, down 7.9%, mainly due to lower sales of gasoline and gasoil related to a decline in demand from transports and industrial customers due to a generalized slowdown and lower jet fuel sales reflecting falling demand. Bitumen sales increased due to higher product availability of Eni products related to downtime in competitors’ refineries, in particular in the final part of the year. Average market share in 2012 was 29.5% (28.6% in 2011). Supplies of feedstock to the petrochemical industry (1.26 mmtonnes) dropped from 2011 (down 450 ktonnes) due to lower demand from industrial customers. Wholesale sales in the rest of Europe of approximately 3.96 mmtonnes increased by 3.1% from 2011 due to higher sales in Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Slovenia and France. Sales declined in Hungary, Austria and Germany. Other sales (23.20 mmtonnes) increased by 4.89 mmtonnes, or 27%, mainly due to higher sales volumes to oil companies. Eni is also active in the international market of bunkering, marketing marine fuel mainly in 106 ports, of which 72 are in Italy. In 2012, marine fuel sales were 1.75 mmtonnes of which 1.67 mmtonnes in Italy. LPG In Italy, Eni is leader in LPG production, marketing and sale with 614 ktonnes sold for heating and automotive use equal to a 19.8% market share. An additional 206 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 2012 amounted to 515 ktonnes of which 389 ktonnes in Ecuador where LPG market share was around 37.8%. Lubricants Eni operates six (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 2012, retail and wholesale sales in Italy amounted to 96 ktonnes with a 24.3% 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 in Spain, Germany, Austria and France). Oxygenates Eni, through its subsidiary Ecofuel (Eni’s interest 100%), sold 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 (Ethyl-Tertiary-Butyl-Ether) 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 109.6% in 2011. From January 1, 2012, the compulsory content of bio-fuels increases to 4.5% from 4% in 2011, Eni plans to cover compliance through Bio-ETBE, FAME and biodiesel in its Porto Marghera refinery and direct blending of ethanol in gasolines in particular in some plants of the Sannazzaro refinery.

Performance of the year

I In 2012 injury rates of employees and contractors continued to follow the positive trends of previous years (down 48.3% and 63.9%, respectively). I In 2012 emissions of greenhouse gases, NO X and SO X decreased due to lower production volumes and energy saving interventions performed in the year. NMVOC emissions increased mainly at the Dunkerque site due to the unavailability of the plant collecting NMVOC emissions from polyethylene silos. I In 2012 the sector reported a significant increase in adjusted net loss (euro 395 million, down euro 189 million) from 2011, due to weak trends in demand for commodities resulting from the economic slowdown and collapsing unit margins. I Sales of petrochemical products were 3,953 ktonnes, down 87 ktonnes, or 2.1%, from 2011 due to lower consumption. I Chemical production volumes were 6,090 ktonnes, decreasing by 155 ktonnes, down 2.48%, due to a decline in demand for chemical products in all businesses, in particular polyethylene. I In 2012 overall expenditure in R&D amounted to approximately euro 38 million in line with the previous year. A total of 18 new patent applications were filed, one of these jointly with the Exploration & Production Division. Expansion on international markets I With the aim of international expansion of chemical activities, in October 2012, Versalis signed two agreements with major chemical operators in South Korea and Malaysia to build and operate facilities for the production of elastomers incorporating Versalis proprietary technologies and know-how. These initiatives are in line with Eni’s strategy of international expansion in Asian markets with interesting growth prospects, where Versalis has a leading position. Green Chemistry I In January 2013, Versalis and Yulex, an agricultural-based biomaterials company, signed a strategic partnership to manufacture guayule-based bio-rubber materials in a production complex in Southern Europe. The partnership will cover the entire manufacturing chain from crop science to bio-rubber extraction

to the construction of a biomass power station. Versalis will manufacture materials for consumer and medical specialty markets with hypoallergenic qualities that are expected to generate higher margins. The partnership will leverage Yulex’s core competencies including crop science and bio-rubber extraction technologies, to boost Versalis’ bio-based portfolio. The investment will include an ambitious research project to develop technologies targeting the tire industry. With its market leading position in the elastomer industry Versalis plans to expand its leading-edge technologies in the synthetic rubber business by including guayule rubber as a supplementary business opportunity and an increased commercial offering. In June 2012, a Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with Genomatica and Novamont to establish a technological joint venture in Italy governing a four-year research project aimed at developing a new technology for the production of butadiene from renewable feedstocks. This joint venture will also hold exclusive right for the industrial application of the research results, including licensing it to third parties.

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. Versalis’ portfolio of proprietary technologies covers the whole field of basic petrochemicals and polymers: phenol and its derivatives, polyethylene, styrenes and elastomers as well as catalysts and specialty products. As a producer of intermediates, all types of polyethylene and a wide range of elastomers/lattices and of the complete line of styrenic products, Versalis continues in the development of its proprietary technologies supported by the experience it gained in production and R&D. This approach favored the optimization of the design of equipment and plants, of their performance, of proprietary catalysts and other products that allowed it to achieve excellence in all technologies in the specific business areas in order to compete in markets worldwide. A key role is played by the most innovative proprietary catalysts, such as those based on zeolites developed by Versalis as building blocks of some of its most advanced technologies and available worldwide. 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

Intermediates
Basic
petrochemicals are 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. In 2012 basic petrochemicals revenues
(euro 3,110 million) increased by euro 123 million from
2011 (up 4%) due to the positive performance of
derivatives reflecting increased volumes (up 21%) and
average unit prices (up 10%) as a result of an improved
scenario and product availability. Olefin and aromatics
sales volumes declined (down 2% and 4.5%, respectively)
mainly due to facility downtimes at the polyethylene
plants in Sicily due to low profitability and declining
demand. Average unit prices of olefins were stable, while
aromatics process increased (up 12%) driven by increased
benzene prices (up 18.7%). Production of intermediates
(4,112 ktonnes) was in line with 2011 (up 0.3%).
Derivatives production increased by 12% as phenol
derivatives and styrene monomer had been affected in 2011
by the planned facility downtimes in the Mantova plant. Production of olefins and aromatics decreased by 2.7% and
5.4%, respectively affected by planned facility downtimes
in Sarroch and the slowdown of the Priolo cracker aimed
at dampening the effects of the negative scenario. Polymers In the polymers business
Versalis is active in the production of: - Polyethylene that accounts for approximately 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 that 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 that 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
sealing, 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 2012 polymer revenues (euro 3,128
million) decreased by euro 171 million from 2011 (down
5.2%) mainly due to decreasing sales volumes (down 5.8%)
due to a steep decline in demand in particular in Europe
and Italy, offset in part, by a modest rise in demand in
Eastern Europe. Average unit prices of elastomers decreased by 1.3% due
to lower unit prices of SBF/BR rubber affected by the
downfall of the vehicle industry and of polyethylene
(down 0.4%) despite a recovery recorded in the second
half of the year. Average unit prices of styrene
increased on average by 6% supported by the price of
expandable polystyrene. Polymer production (1,978 ktonnes) decreased by 167
ktonnes from 2011 (down 7.8%), due mainly to lower
elastomer production (down 9.4%) at Ravenna and Ferrara
due to the downfall of the vehicle industry and of
polyethylene (down 6%). In the early part of the year,
facility downtimes were recorded Sicilian plants,
including the cracker, due to a sharp decline in demand
for polyethylene. Lower styrene production (down 10.3%)
was due to the divestment of the compact and expandable
polystyrene plant at Feluy (Belgium).

Performance of the year

| I The percentage of
manager positions covered by local personnel is
constantly higher than 40% of total managerial positions,
except for Italy and France, reflecting however
fluctuations due to the opening of new yards and
short-term projects. I The overall amount
of procurement was euro 9,584 million in 2012, of which
euro 7,802 million related to operating projects, 51.8%
of which was procured with local suppliers. I In 2012 the injury
frequency rate for employees worsened from 2011 (by
22.7%), while it improved for contractors by 19%. Saipem
continues to strive to mitigate and reduce accidents and
injuries to its employees and contractors by means of
training and awareness campaigns, such as the
"Working at height", the dedicated HSE training
portal and training courses for crane operators. I Safety and
environment expenditure for individual protection
equipment and medical assistance increased by 24% from
2011 (from euro 83 million to euro 103 million). | I In 2012, the
Engineering & Construction sector reported adjusted
net profit amounting to euro 1,109 million, in line with
2011 (up 1%). This result reflects the good operating
performance recorded mainly in the drilling business
deriving from the full operations of Scarabeo 9 and
greater profitability from the Saipem 10000 vessel,
totally offset by the decline in performance of the
Engineering & Construction business due to falling
demand for oilfield services and lower margins at certain
works related to the general downturn especially in the
second half of the year. I Capital
expenditure amounted to euro 1,011 million (euro 1,090
million in 2011) and mainly regarded the upgrading of the
drilling and construction fleet. I In 2012 overall
expenditure in R&D amounted approximately to euro 15
million in line with 2011. A total of 13 new patent
applications were filed. |

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, special items and, in determining the business segments’ adjusted results, finance charges on finance debt and interest income. The adjusted operating profit of each business segment reports gains and losses on derivative financial instruments entered into to manage exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates which impact industrial margins and translation of commercial payables and receivables. Accordingly also currency translation effects recorded through profit and loss are reported within business segments’ adjusted operating profit. 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. 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; (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; or (iii) exchange rate differences and derivatives relating to industrial activities and commercial payables and receivables, particularly exchange rate derivatives to manage commodity pricing formulas which are quoted in a currency other than the functional currency. Those items are reclassified in operating profit with a corresponding adjustment to net finance charges, notwithstanding the handling of foreign currency Exchange risks is made centrally by netting off naturally-occurring opposite positions and then dealing with any residual risk exposure in the exchange rate market. 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. 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 U.S. 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 geosciences 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. In 2012, the average price for the marker Brent crude oil 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. 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 2012, Ryder Scott Company and DeGolyer and MacNaughton 2 provided an independent evaluation of almost 33% of Eni’s total proved reserves as of December 31, 2012 3 , confirming, as in previous years, the reasonableness of Eni’s internal evaluations. In the three year period from 2010 to 2012, 92% of Eni’s total proved reserves were subject to independent evaluation. As of December 31, 2012, the principal properties not subjected to independent evaluation in the last three years are Bouri and Bu Attifel (Libya) and M’Boundi (Congo). 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 55%, 49% and 47% of total proved reserves as of December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively, on an oil-equivalent basis. Similar effects as PSAs apply to service and "buy-back" contracts; proved reserves associated with such contracts represented 3%, 1% and 2% of total proved reserves on an oil-equivalent basis as of December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, 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 0.6%, 0.8% and 1.1% of total proved reserves as of December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, 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. 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. 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 hydrocarbons, liquids (including crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids) and natural gas as of December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

(1) From 1991 to 2002 DeGolyer and MacNaughton, from 2003 also Ryder Scott. (2) The reports of independent engineers are available on Eni website eni.com, section Publications/Annual Report 2012. (3) Including reserves of equity-accounted entities.

(a) Results of operations from oil and gas producing activities 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) Includes asset impairments amounting to euro 123 million in 2010. (c) The "Successful Effort Method" application would have led to a decrease of result of operations of euro 385 million in 2010 for the consolidated subsidiaries and a decrease of euro 5 million in 2010 for equity-accounted entities.

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 the average prices during the years ended. 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.

Operating performance Eni’s adjusted operating profit increased by 14.6%, reflecting excellent results delivered by the Exploration & Production Division on the back of an ongoing recovery in the Libyan production and higher realizations. Net borrowings and leverage Eni’s financial structure was strengthened by the divestment of a significant stake in Snam and the deconsolidation of the investee’s finance debt, as well as the start of the commencement of Galp disposition which enabled Eni to nearly cut in half the debt-to-equity ratio. Net borrowings decreased to euro 15.5 billion. Net proved reserves of hydrocarbons Eni’s net proved oil and gas reserves were at the eight-year record. Achieved an organic reserve replacement ratio of 147% through efficient project sanctioning. Cash flow and F&D cost per boe Unit cash flow and the finding and development cost per barrel was driven by competitive exploration costs, efficient development activity and an increased proportion of oil in our new productions. Injury frequency rate The injury frequency rate relating to employees and contractors decreased by 12.3% and 21.1% respectively, compared to 2011, progressing for the eighth consecutive year. Gas flaring The responsible use of resources was another feature of our 2012 performance where we have achieved an all time low in gas flaring, underpinned by our ability in monetizing our reserves of associated gas by means of marketing it in local outlets and LNG international markets, field reinjection and power plants construction.

Eni in 2012 Our strategy

| Our strategy Eni’s
excellent market position and competitive advantages
derive from the Company’s strategic choices which
are consistent with the long-term nature of the business.
Our long-term success owes to a sustainable business
model backed by a framework of clear and straightforward
rules of corporate governance, rigorous risk management
and adoption of the highest ethical standards. | ● | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| In 2012 Eni laid the
foundations for a new growth phase of its oil and gas
production, one which promises to outperform the industry
over the medium and long-term. In the meanwhile, Eni has
started the reorganization of its mid and downstream
activities to manage the current European downturn. In
the Chemical segment, Eni has progressed at repositioning
the business to deliver sustainable results. Eni’s
strategies, resource allocation processes and management
of day-by-day operations underpin sustainable value
creation to shareholders and, more generally, to all of
our stakeholders. 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. Against this backdrop, 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 is able to manage the complexities of the
environment. In the medium to long-term, the main challenges will
be driven by rising competitive pressures in accessing
hydrocarbon reserves, 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. Eni’s strategy for the 2013-2016 four-year period
confirms the priorities of profitably growing oil and gas
production, recovering profitability in the downstream
gas sector, improving efficiency in downstream oil,
chemicals and general services supporting business
activities, as well as retaining the global leadership in
Engineering & Construction focusing on the most
technologically advanced | and innovative segments. In 2012 following the divestment of a significant
interest in Snam and deconsolidation of the
investee’s net borrowings as well as the transaction
involving Eni’s interest in Galp, the Group achieved
a substantial improvement in its leverage at 2012 year
end down to 0.25 thanks to euro 19 billion of disposals.
This renewed and strengthened balance sheet will help the
Company mitigate its greater exposure to the Exploration
& Production business. The increased weight of
upstream activities in Eni’s portfolio will yield
higher returns but also greater risks and volatility
compared to the Italian regulated businesses that were
divested in 2012. For these reasons, management will
remain strongly focused on preserving the Company’s
financial structure as well as managing the upstream
risks in the foreseeable future. We intend to maintain
our leverage within a target range of 0.1-0.3 at our
long-term Brent price scenario of $90 a barrel flat in
the next four years. This range will allow us to absorb
temporary fluctuations in oil prices, the market
environment and business results. Over the next four years, we plan that net cash generated
by operating activities will enable Eni to finance a
large capital expenditure program amounting to euro 56.8
billion to fuel production growth. In addition we are
committed to raise further euro 10 billion from
completing the disposal of our residual interests in Snam
and Galp and other portfolio transactions. Given the Company’s changed business profile and
improved balance sheet, management plans to distribute
cash to shareholders by means of a revised dividend
policy and share repurchases. The new dividend policy
contemplates a progressive, growing dividend at a rate
which is expected to be determined year-to-year taking
into account Eni’s underlying earnings and cash flow
growth as well as capital expenditure requirements and
the targeted financial structure. Management will also
evaluate the achievement of the targeted production
levels in the Exploration & Production segment, the
status of renegotiations at gas long-term supply
contracts in the Gas & Power segment and the | delivery of efficiency gains
in the downstream businesses. The other leg of our long-term strategy will be a
continuing focus on managing the upstream risks. We
intend to mitigate the political risk by expanding the
geographic reach of our activities and deploying the Eni
cooperation model with host Countries based on the
commitment to maximize the value delivered to local
communities and invest in long-term initiatives that
benefit our local partners (access to energy, education
and health). The risk of "project delivery" will
require the in-source of critical engineering and project
management activities as well as careful monitoring of
supply-chain programming. Finally, the operational risk
relating to drilling activities will be managed by
applying Eni’s rigorous procedures throughout the
engineering and execution stages, leveraging on
proprietary drilling technologies, internal skills and
know-how, increased control of operations and specific
technologies aimed at minimizing blow-out risks and
responding quickly and effectively in case of
emergencies. |

amounted to approximately euro 94 million (euro 90 million in 2011). Mozambique > The exploration campaign executed in Mozambique in the Area 4 offshore the Rovuma basin proved the Mamba gas complex to be the largest discovery in the Company’s exploration history. Eni estimates the full mineral potential of Area 4 at 80 Tcf of gas in place. The geological studies confirmed the high productivity of exploration wells. This means that this huge resource base can be exploited with a limited number of producing wells that will make the upstream project highly efficient. > Signed an agreement with Anadarko Petroleum Corporation for the coordinated development of common offshore activities in Area 4, operated by Eni and Area 1, operated by Anadarko. Furthermore, the two companies will jointly plan and construct onshore LNG liquefaction facilities in Northern Mozambique. > Signed an agreement with CNPC/Petrochina to sell 28.57% of the share capital of our subsidiary Eni East Africa, which currently owns a 70% interest in Area 4 in Mozambique, for an agreed price of $4,210 million in cash. The deal is subject to approval by relevant authorities. Once finalized, CNPC indirectly acquires, through its 28.57% equity investment in Eni East Africa, a 20% interest in Area 4, while Eni will retain a 50% interest through the remaining controlling stake in Eni East Africa. Exploration activity > Full year 2012 was a record for exploration, adding 3.64 bboe of discovered resources, about six times the production of the year, increasing our reserves to best ever levels with rapid time-to-market and cost effectiveness. Our approach in the selective development initiatives, advanced technologies and knowledge management of core basins will be the key to achieve future targets. New resources were, in addition to the above mentioned Mozambique discoveries, the appraisal of the Skrugard/Havis discoveries in the Barents Sea and the Sankofa field in Ghana, a relevant onshore discovery in Pakistan as well as other successes in Egypt, Congo, Indonesia, Angola, the United States and Nigeria. > Our portfolio was boosted with the acquisition of new exploration acreage in high potential areas such as Kenya, Liberia, Vietnam, Cyprus, offshore Russia and shale gas in Ukraine, as well as legacy areas such as China, Pakistan, Indonesia and Norway. > Exploration expenditure amounted to euro 1,850 million (up 52.9% from 2011) to complete 60 new exploratory wells (34.1 net to Eni). The overall commercial success rate was 40% (40.8% net to Eni). In addition 144 exploratory wells drilled are in progress at year end (62 net to Eni). Portfolio > The international Contracting Companies of the Final Production Sharing Agreement (FPSA) of the Karachaganak field and the Republic of Kazakhstan closed a settlement agreement of all pending claims relating to the recovery of costs incurred to develop the field. The Contracting Companies divested 10% of their rights and interest in the project to Kazakhstan’s KazMunaiGas for $1 billion net cash consideration ($325 million being Eni’s share). > The Consortium partners and the Authorities of the Republic of Kazakhstan reached an agreement on the Amendment to the sanctioned development plan of the Kashagan field (Amendment 4) which included an update to the project schedule, a revision of the investments estimate and the settlement of all pending claims relating to recoverable costs and other tax matters. The commercial production start-up is expected by the end of the first half of 2013. > Divested production and development assets in Italy, Nigeria, Norway, the United Kingdom and offshore Gulf of Mexico confirming a selective growth approach to optimize Eni’s asset portfolio and to enhance the competitiveness of Eni’s full-cycle production costs. > Sanctioned by Venezuelan authorities the development plan of the Perla gas project, in Block Cardón IV (Eni’s interest 50%), in the Gulf of Venezuela. Two more phases were sanctioned to reach a production plateau of approximately 1,200 mmcf/d. > Made final investment decisions to develop fields in Angola, Congo, Nigeria and Italy which are expected to add 59 kboe/d in 2016.

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, Russia, the Barents Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. Eni’s strategy is to deliver organic production growth with increasing returns and full reserve replacement. Growth will be fuelled by continuing production start-ups and ramp-ups in 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 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 by increasing rates of reserve recovery, developing drilling techniques to be applied in complex environment to fully exploiting marginal fields and leveraging deep/ultra deep offshore areas potential. 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: • Maintain strong profitable production growth. • Invest in exploration to enhance growth prospects over the long-term and ensure reserve replacement. • Develop new projects to fuel future growth. • Consolidate our industry-leading cost position. Management plans to invest euro 39.9 billion to develop reserves over the next four years. An important share of these expenditures will be allocated to certain development projects which will support the Company’s long-term production plateau, in particular we plan to

Eni in 2012 Business review / Exploration & Production

start developing the recent gas discovery offshore Mozambique and to progress large and complex projects in the Barents Sea, Nigeria and Indonesia. We are also planning to maintain a prevailing share of projects regulated by production sharing agreements in our portfolio; this will shorten cost recovery in an environment of high crude oil prices. Our long-term sustainable growth will leverage on continuous exploration activities, with planned expenses of euro 5.5 billion, which are intended to pursue finding projects in well-established basins and in high potential frontier areas. Approximately euro 1.8 billion will be spent to execute development projects through equity-accounted entities. Maintain strong production growth Eni’s Exploration & Production segment engages in oil and natural gas exploration and field development and production, as well as LNG operations in 43 Countries, including Italy, Libya, Egypt, Norway, the UK, Angola, Congo, the United States, Kazakhstan, Russia, Algeria, Australia, Venezuela, Iraq and Mozambique. The main driver of future growth will be the start-up of new fields which we estimate to add more than 700 kboe/d of new production by the end of the plan horizon. We have a good level of visibility on those new projects as we have already sanctioned 65% of these projects and we expect to arrive at 90% by the end of 2013. Management will focus on delivering the planned projects on time and on budget. We acknowledge that most of our projects are complex due to scale and reach of operations, environmentally-sensitive or remote locations, harsh external conditions, industry limits and other considerations. We intend to implement a number of initiatives to support profitability by exercising tight control on project time schedules and costs and reducing the time span which is necessary to develop and market reserves. We acknowledge that the upstream industry is exposed to the risks of project delays and cost overruns. We plan to mitigate those risks by: (i) in-sourcing critical engineering and project management activities; (ii) strict monitoring of construction activities; and (iii) signing framework agreements with major suppliers, using standardized specifications to speed up the pre-award process for critical equipment and plants, increasing focus on supply chain programming to optimize order flows. Eni will pursue further growth options by developing unconventional plays, gas-to-LNG projects and integrated gas projects. Finally, we intend to optimize our portfolio of development properties by focusing on areas where our presence is well established, and divesting non-strategic or marginal assets. > Production and reserves: 2012 and outlook Eni reported liquids and gas production for the full year of 1,701 kboe/d, up 7% from 2011. The performance was driven by an ongoing recovery in Libyan production and continuing field start-up and ramp-up mainly in Russia and Australia, as well as increased production in Iraq. The share of oil and natural gas produced outside Italy was 89%. In the year we achieved the following main start-ups: (i) the MLE field (Eni’s interest 75%) as part of the MLE-CAFC integrated project, in Algeria. A natural gas treatment plant started operations with a production and export capacity of approximately 320 mmcf/d of gas, 15 kbbl/d of oil and condensates and 12 kbbl/d of LPG; (ii) the Seth field located in the Ras el Barr concession (Eni’s interest 50%). Production is processed at the El Gamil onshore plant. Production plateau is expected at approximately 170 mmcf/d (approximately 11 kboe/d net to Eni); (iii) the satellites Kizomba Phase 1 project in the Development Areas of former Block 15 (Eni’s interest 20%), in Angola. Peak production of 72 kbbl/d (12 kbbl/d net to Eni) is expected in 2013; (iv) Phase 2A project located in service contract OML 119, in Nigeria, with a peak production at 15 kbbl/d; (v) the Samburgskoye field (Eni’s interest 29.4%) located in the Yamal-Nenets area, in Siberia, by means of the first and the second train with an expected production level of 95 kboe/d (28 kboe/d net to Eni). The outlook for the production of liquids and gas is positive in 2013. Management expects to grow production by ramping-up fields started in 2012 and major project start-ups in 2013, mainly those in Angola and Algeria. According to management’s plans, production growth will continue in the coming years as the Company is targeting an annual growth rate higher than 4% on average in the next 2013-2016 four-year period, based on our long-term Brent price assumptions of 90 $/bbl. To achieve that target, we intend: • to leverage our robust pipeline of project start-ups, particularly in North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Venezuela, Barents Sea, Yamal Peninsula, Kazakhstan, Iraq and Far East; • to maximize the production recovery rate at our current fields by counteracting natural field depletion. We expect a low decline rate of approximately 4% on average in the next four-year period leveraging on dynamic reservoir management and intense production optimization activities; • to monetize our reserves of associated gas in particular in Africa, targeting to reach zero flaring by 2017. 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, 2012 was an eight-year record at 7.17 bboe based on a reference Brent price of $111 per barrel. Additions to proved reserves booked in 2012 derived from: (i) revisions of previous estimates were 576 mmboe mainly reported in Venezuela, Kazakhstan, Nigeria and Egypt; (ii) extensions, discoveries and other factors were 349 mmboe, with major increases booked in Venezuela, Kazakhstan and Angola; (iii) improved recovery were 28 mmboe mainly reported in Algeria and Nigeria. The reserves life index is 11.5 years. Eni intends to pay special attention to reserve replacement in order to ensure the medium to long-term sustainability of the business. In 2012, we achieved a strong reserve organic replacement ratio of 147%

Eni in 2012 Business review / Exploration & Production

through fast sanctioning and time to market of new projects. We made final investment decisions to develop fields in Angola, Congo, Nigeria and Venezuela as well as other minor projects in Italy. Eni will continue focusing on well-established areas of presence where availability of production facilities will enable the Company to readily put in production discovered reserves. We plan to increase returns at our oil and gas projects by reducing time to market, as 90% of the discoveries made in 2008-2012 will reach production within 8 years from their discovery. 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 Exploration activities play a major role in our sustainable growth strategy by fuelling new production and securing access to new opportunities. In 2012 exploration expenditure amounted to euro 1,850 million (up 52.9% from 2011) and extraordinary success was achieved in terms of size and potential of new discoveries. Exploration in 2012 contributed to increase our resource base by 3.64 bboe, about six times the production of the year. Our exploration results support our capacity to deliver sustainable returns on new projects under almost any oil-price scenario with a very competitive discovery cost of 60 cents per barrel. Eni’s resource base achieved 34.5 billion boe. The exploration campaign executed in Mozambique in Area 4 offshore the Rovuma basin proved the Mamba gas complex to be the largest discovery in the Company’s exploration history. Eni estimates the full mineral potential of Area 4 at 80 Tcf of gas in place. Geological studies confirmed the high productivity of exploration wells. This means that this huge resource base can be exploited with a limited number of producing wells that will make the upstream project highly efficient. On development, we will jointly build with Anadarko onshore LNG facilities in Northern Mozambique. We will now proceed rapidly with the technical and commercial activities. The final investment decision is expected in 2014. World-class discoveries have been made in the Barents Sea with the appraisal campaign of the mineral potential at the oil and gas Skrugard discovery and the new Havis oil and gas discovery 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. In addition we have made the gas and condensate Salina discovery in the PL 533 license (Eni’s interest 40%). In Ghana, appraisal activities at the Sankofa discovery in the Offshore Cape Three Points license (Eni operator with a 47.22% interest) confirmed the overall potential of the discovery to be around 450 million barrels of oil in place. A relevant onshore discovery was made in Pakistan with estimated resources of 300 to 400 bcf of gas in place and in line with Eni’s strategy of focusing on conventional and synergic assets. Other significant exploration successes were achieved in Egypt, Congo, Indonesia, Angola, the United States and Nigeria where synergies with existing infrastructures will reduce the time-to-market of discovered resources. Our consistent performance confirms the effectiveness of our exploration strategy, with its focus on proven basins, a select number of high-potential frontier themes and accelerating appraisal campaigns. Building on this success, over the next four years we will confirm our exploration efforts to further strengthen the basis of our long-term growth. Exploration projects will attract some euro 5.5 billion in the next four years to appraise the latest discoveries made by the Company and to support continuing reserve replacement. The most important amounts of exploration expenses will be incurred in Angola, Russia, the United States, Nigeria, Egypt, Norway and Indonesia; important resources will be dedicated to explore new areas (Kenya, Vietnam, Ukraine and Cyprus) and on unconventional plays. Over the next four years we aim to discover approximately 1 billion boe 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, 2012, Eni’s mineral right portfolio consisted of 1,072 exclusive or shared rights for exploration and development in 43 Countries on five continents for a total acreage of 251,170 square kilometers net to Eni of which developed acreage was 40,939 square kilometers and undeveloped acreage was 210,231 square kilometers. Eni’s portfolio was boosted with the acquisition of new exploration acreage in high potential areas such as Kenya, Liberia, Vietnam, Cyprus, offshore Russia and shale gas in Ukraine, as well as legacy areas such as China, Pakistan, Indonesia and Norway. Develop new projects to fuel future growth Eni has a strong pipeline of development projects that will fuel the medium and long-term growth of its oil and gas production. The pipeline of projects is geographically diversified and will become even more balanced across our hubs. We expect that costs to develop and operate fields will increase in future years due to sector-specific inflation, and growing complexity of new projects. We plan to counteract those cost increases by leveraging on: (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.

Eni in 2012 Business review / Exploration & Production

A description of our hubs is provided below.

Oil & gas major hubs Africa Historically, Africa has been the backbone of Eni’s production and growth, and it will be a key driver of our future. Our asset base is robust with a 1.5 million boe/d of operated production. We have major development projects with 5 bboe of 2P reserves, with significant exploration upside of 4.7 bboe of risked resources. Leveraging on our history in the area and long-term relationships we expect to gain further access to new opportunities. While Libya and Egypt are the pillars of our current production in the area, our main ongoing projects are located in Algeria, Angola and moving to long-term in Mozambique. Algeria – We achieved the production start-up at the MLE (Eni 75%) field as part of the MLE-CAFC integrated project; and lately, at the El Merk (Eni 12.25%) project. These projects will add 30 kboe/d in 2013 and will grow to 45 kboe/d at the end of 2016. Angola – Block 15/06 (Eni 35%, Op.) is our major giant development in this Country. The potential resources will be developed within the West Hub and the East Hub projects. Production start-up of the West Hub is expected in 2014 with a peaking production of 25 kbbl/d in 2016. The East Hub will be sanctioned in 2013. Peak production is expected at approximately 15 kbbl/d. Kazakhstan Kazakhstan is one of our legacy Countries where we have interests in the Karachaganak (Eni 29.25%, Op.) and the Kashagan (Eni 16.81%) supergiant fields. The Karachaganak field still contains about 5 bboe of reserves, approximately four times the amount already produced, with competitive production costs. Phase 3 of development is currently under study. The project is aimed at further developing gas and condensates reserves by means of the installation, in stages, of gas treatment plants and re-injection facilities to increase gas sales and liquids production. The development plan is currently in the phase of technical and marketing definition to be presented to the relevant Authorities. Start-up and commercial production of the Kashagan field is confirmed by the end of the first half of 2013, as agreed with the Republic of Kazakhstan. In 2013 the project will add approximately 20 kboe/d. Russia In recent years, project development has been sped up in Russia. We have 5 giant gas and condensates fields (Eni’s interest 29.4%) located in the Yamal Peninsula, in Siberia. In 2012, production started-up at the Samburgskoye field by means of the first and the second train with an expected production level of 95 kboe/d (28 kboe/d net to Eni). In addition, planned activities progressed at the sanctioned Urengoiskoye field. Start-up is expected in 2014. Activities are progressing also on the Yaro-Yakhinskoye field. The Yamal hub will provide a plateau of 165 kboe/d by 2016. Barents Sea Goliat represents the first oil development in the Barents Sea. We have already obtained governmental approval. 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 in 2014 with a production plateau at approximately 100 kbbl/d. Activities progressed at the Skrugard, Havis and Salina discoveries to be developed in future years. Venezuela Our main development activities are the Perla (Eni 50%) and Junin 5 (Eni 40%) giant projects. Production started up at the Junin 5 field. Early production of the first phase is expected at plateau of 75 kbbl/d in 2015, targeting a long-term production plateau of 240 kbbl/d to be reached by 2018. Venezuelan relevant authorities sanctioned the full field development plan of the Perla gas discovery. The early production phase includes the utilization of the already successfully drilled discovery/appraisal wells and the installation of production platforms linked by pipelines to the onshore treatment plant. Target production of approximately 300 mmcf/d is expected in 2015. Overall the ongoing projects in Venezuela will contribute approximately 50 kboe/d to our production plateau in 2016.

2012 Highlights

Performance of the year > In 2012, Eni’s continuous commitment and the resources dedicated to safety allowed to improve significantly the accident frequency rate. In particular a positive trend was confirmed for employees (down 24.6% from 2011), while the rate for contractors returned to levels lower than in 2010, improving by 30% from 2011. > In 2012, the water consumption rate of EniPower’s plants declined both in general (down 11.2% from 2011) and per kWh produced (down 13.8%). > In 2012, adjusted net profit was euro 473 million, almost doubling the 2011 results. This reflected a better performance of the Marketing business in a context of weak demand and mounting competitive pressures. Declining selling prices were more than offset by the benefits associated with the renegotiations of the supply contracts, certain of which with effects retroactive to 2011, and an improved supply mix following the full recovery of Libyan supplies. > Worldwide gas sales decreased by 1.5% to 95.32 bcm due to lower European demand and competitive pressures. Sales in Italy were in line with 2011, while they declined slightly in European markets, in particular in Benelux due to competitive pressure and in the Iberian Peninsula due to the divestment of Galp. > Electricity sales of 42.58 TWh increased by 2.30 TWh from 2011, up 5.7%. > Capital expenditure of euro 225 million concerned essentially flexibility and upgrading of combined cycle power stations (euro 131 million) and initiatives in gas marketing (euro 81 million). Commercial Agreements in the Far East > Eni signed a trilateral agreement with Korea Gas Corporation and Japanese company Chubu Electric Power Company for the sale of 28 loads of LNG (liquefied natural gas) corresponding to 1.7 million tonnes of LNG in the 2013-2017 period. Entry in the French and Belgian markets > In October 2012, Eni launched its brand in the gas retail market in France and in the business and retail gas and power market in Belgium. The Eni brand replaced the local brands of the operators acquired in the past few years with the aim of becoming one of the major retail operators in France and Belgium while consolidating its leadership on the Belgian business market.

Eni in 2012 Business review / Gas & Power

Strategies Eni’s Gas & Power segment engages in supply, trading and marketing of gas and electricity, international transport, and LNG supply and marketing. This segment also includes the activities of electricity generation. The natural gas market in Europe is facing a weaker-than-anticipated demand growth due to the economic downturn and rising competitive pressures fuelled by ongoing oversupplies. These trends will reduce sales opportunities and fuel continuing price pressure also considering the rigidities at long-term supply contracts with take-or-pay clauses. Difficult market conditions in the European gas sector are expected to continue at least over the next two years. Given this challenging market scenario, we intend to improve the profitability at our Gas & Power segment by renegotiating our long-term supply contracts in order to enhance the competitiveness of the Company’s gas offer and to mitigate the take-or-pay risk to our liquidity as we manage through the downturn. We plan to retain our market share in Italy and Europe by leveraging the expected improved costs in procurement and logistics and effective commercial actions. The return to profitability will be helped by developing LNG sales in international markets and optimizing margins by means of our trading activities. The Gas & Power strategic guidelines are the following: • Renegotiate the bulk of the supply contracts seeking to align supply prices with hub prices less logistic costs and to increase contract flexibility. • Retain the Company’s market share in Italy. • Expand in the industrial and wholesale segments across Europe by developing new structured products. • Leverage on trading activities to boost marketing margins. • Grow LNG sales. Management believes that profitability in the Company’s gas marketing business will gradually recover along the plan period, however the visibility into future results of operations is constrained by the ongoing volatility in marketing margins. Our profitability outlook factors in the expected benefits of ongoing renegotiations at the Company long-term supply contracts which the Company is seeking to finalize over time during the plan period. Currently, 80% of Eni’s supplies are under renegotiation. Management will also seek to improve profitability by means of cost efficiencies, streamlining business support activities and reducing marketing, general and administrative costs. In addition, the Company intends to capture margins improvements by means of trading activities by entering derivative contracts both in the commodity and the financial trading venues in order to capture possible favorable trends in market prices, within the limits set by internal policies and guidelines that define the maximum tolerable level of market risk. As part of this strategy, the Company intends to improve results of operations by effectively managing the flexibilities associated with the Company’s assets (gas supply contracts, transportation rights, and customer base and market position). This can be achieved through strategies of asset-backed trading by entering into arbitrage contracts to leverage on commodity price volatility exploiting the flexibility provided by the Company’s assets. Gas Market trends Management expects the outlook in the European gas sector to remain unfavorable over the short to the medium-term due to continuing demand weakness and oversupplies, against the backdrop of the economic downturn. In the latest years competitive dynamics and the economics of the European gas sector have structurally changed reflecting reduced sales opportunities due to lower gas demand, abundant supplies on the marketplace related to worldwide flows of LNG and continuing pipeline upgrades for importing natural gas from Algeria and Russia to Europe and other factors as the massive increase of shale gas production in the United States which substantially reduced the Country’s dependence on LNG imports. On the one hand, high liquidity at the main European hubs for spot gas has favored the development of well established market prices which have become the prevailing benchmark for bilateral selling contracts to European customers. In spite of the fact that part of the worldwide LNG surplus has been absorbed by growing energy needs in Asia, spot prices in Europe have been affected by continuing weak trends in demand and rising competitive pressure leading to unrelenting price softness. On the other side of the equation, European gas intermediaries, including Eni, have seen their profit margins squeezed by rising trends in costs of oil-linked gas supplies, as provided by pricing formulas in long-term supply contracts. In addition, minimum off-take obligations and the necessity to minimize the associated financial exposure have forced gas operators to compete more aggressively on pricing in consideration of lower selling opportunities, with negative effects on selling prices, and hence profitability. In 2012, gas demand in Europe declined by 2% (down by 4% in Italy) due to lower consumption in all market segments on the back of the economic downturn. The power generation segment recorded the steepest fall, hit by an ongoing expansion in the use of renewable sources and a shift to coal as feedstock for power plants due to cost advantages. Due to the severity of the contraction in European gas demand and ongoing uncertainties in the macroeconomic outlook, management has revised down its projections of gas demand over the medium to long-term to factor in a number of trends: • uncertainties and volatility in the current macroeconomic cycle; • growing adoption of consumption patterns and life-styles characterized by wider sensitivity to energy efficiency; and • EU policies intended to reduce GHG emissions and promoting renewable energy sources, following prescriptions set by the Climate Change and Renewable Energy package (the so-called PEE 20-20-20). Management now expects EU demand to increase at an average growth rate of approximately 1.8% along the planning period. Gas demand in Italy is expected to grow with an average rate of approximately 1.7% in the same period. The projected level of gas demand in 2016 is significantly below the level recorded in the pre-crisis years. As a result of those drivers, we expect that current market imbalances will continue over the next two to three years. Looking beyond, however, we believe that certain potential catalysts may help rebalance the European gas market. Those include: possible developments in the decommissioning of nuclear plants in countries like Japan, Taiwan and in Europe; continuing growth in LNG imports in China, India and other emerging countries in East Asia, Middle East and South America where we expect that consumption

will increase significantly mainly driven by robust rates of economic development; the possible enactment of stricter environmental regulation in the EU; and finally we expect that gas production in Europe will progressively decline due to mature field depletion while the gas balance might tighten in the North African area due to growing consumption. Any combination of those possible developments could trigger a recovery in European gas prices and a market tightening. In such an environment, Eni’s competitive advantages given by a solid portfolio of gas contracts, access to infrastructures and storage capacity, innovative product offering and trading capabilities would drive significant upside potential. Gas sales: 2012 and outlook In 2012, sales of natural gas were 95.32 bcm, down 1.44 bcm, or 1.5% from 2011. Sales volumes on the Italian market were substantially stable at 34.78 bcm (up 0.10 bcm, or 0.3% from 2011). Lower sales to the power generation segment, industrial customers and wholesalers, due to the negative scenario and increasing competitive pressure, were offset by higher sales at Italian hubs and, at a lower extent, to the residential segment reflecting efficient commercial initiatives. Sales on target markets in Europe of 48.29 bcm showed a slight decline from 2011 (down 2.9%). This decline was mainly due to lower sales in Benelux and in the Iberian Peninsula due to the exclusion of Galp sales after the loss of control, offset only in part by increases recorded in France and in Germany/Austria. Sales to markets outside Europe increased by 0.55 bcm due to higher LNG sales in the Far East, in particular in Japan.

In 2013 management expects to achieve stable natural gas sales compared to 2012 on a homogeneous basis, i.e. excluding the impact of the Galp divestment. Marketing strategy: planned actions Over the 2013-2016 period, Eni’s marketing strategy will focus on certain distinct commercial objectives: • to maintain its leadership in the Italian market mainly by strengthening the customer base in the valuable segments of retail consumers and small and medium businesses; • to strengthen Eni’s position in Europe in the business gas market, where the Company has a well balanced portfolio in terms of geographies, customer segments and contract duration. In particular management plans to regain market share in Italy and to expand sales in European target markets by leveraging first of all on the improved competitiveness of the Company’s cost position reflecting the expected benefits of the renegotiation of its supply contracts. About the marketing effort, we intend to improve the quality of our offer. We are targeting the industrial and wholesale segment across Europe, where we have integrated our commercial and trading operations in order to develop new structured products for those sophisticated customers. Those products will include multiple pricing options and volume flexibility.

| In order to
increase exposure to the retail segment, management plans
to expand its customer base in Italy and outside Italy,
by almost 3 million clients in the next four years to
reach a total of 14 million customers by 2016,
strengthening Eni’s position in this segment.
Particularly in the retail market in Italy, Eni’s
marketing action will focus on the combined commercial
offer "luce, gas, carburanti" (electricity, gas
and fuels), high standards of service, and the adoption
of lean marketing procedures to facilitate
customers’ tasks and optimization of commercial
channels (such as agencies, remote selling, energy
stores) with a strong focus on web channels. Supply 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/y of gas availability
from 2010 (including the Eni Gas & Power NV portfolio
of supplies and excluding Eni’s other subsidiaries
and affiliates) with a residual life of approximately 16
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 2012, Eni’s consolidated subsidiaries supplied
86.74 bcm of natural gas, representing an increase of
3.36 bcm, or 4% from 2011. Gas volumes supplied outside
Italy (79.19 bcm from consolidated companies), imported

reserve base in Africa and elsewhere in the world. The LNG business has been marginally impacted by the economic downturn and oversupply affecting the European gas market, as well as by structural modifications in the US market. LNG flexibility allowed to adapt the business model to a changing market scenario and to increase the value of the commodity entering in new markets. Looking forward, we expect that the LNG business will be one of the major drivers of our Gas & Power Division. We are targeting to increase LNG sales and profitability mainly through cargo diversion to Asia or South America and we have signed long-term supply agreements with clients in East Asia. 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. The Pascagoula 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) in order to monetize part of the Company’s gas reserves. Power generation Eni’s main power generation plants are located in Ferrera Erbognone, Ravenna, Livorno, Taranto, Mantova, Brindisi, Ferrara and in various photovoltaic parks. In 2012, power production was 25.67 TWh, down 0.44 TWh, or 1.7% from 2011, mainly due to increased production at the Ferrara plant, offset in part by decreases at the Ferrera Erbognone and Ravenna plants. As of December 31, 2012, installed operational capacity was 5.3 GW. Power availability in 2012 was supported by the growth in electricity trading activities (up 1.86 TWh, or 12.4%) due to higher volumes traded on the Italian power exchange benefiting from lower purchase prices. By 2015, Eni expects to complete its plans for capacity expansion targeting an installed capacity of 5.4 GW. In the medium term, Eni intends to consolidate operations at its power generation plants and to enhance the flexibility of assets in order to better meet market needs. Furthermore Eni intends to develop the production from renewable sources focusing on photovoltaic power plants, and on the Company’s "Green Chemistry" project for the remediation of the Porto Torres site, where it will be also build a bio-mass power plant. International transport Eni owns capacity entitlements in an extensive network of international high pressure pipelines enabling the Company to import natural gas produced in Russia, Algeria, the North Sea, including the Netherlands and Norway, and Libya to Italy. The Company participates to both entities which own and operate the pipelines, the pipeline owners, and entities which manage transport rights, the carriers. For financial reporting purposes, such entities are either fully-consolidated or equity-accounted depending on the Company’s interest or agreements with other shareholders. Follows a description of the main international pipelines currently participated or operated by Eni. • TTPC The 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. • TMPC The 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. • GreenStream The pipeline, jointly-owned with the Libyan National Oil Co, 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 expandible 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. • 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. It is part of a joint venture to sell gas produced in Russia on the Turkish market.

2012 Highlights

Performance of the year > The injury frequency rates decreased from 2011 (down 45% for employees and 27.7% for contractors). > In 2012 the trend in GHG, NO x and SO x , emissions continued to decline, benefiting from energy saving measures and increasing use of natural gas to replace fuel oil. > The 2012 scenario was weighted down by a steep fall in fuel demand in Italy and continued deteriorating fundamentals in the refining activity. Against this backdrop, Eni’s Refining & Marketing Division managed to reduce adjusted operating loss by euro 85 million from 2011 (down euro 179 million) due to better operating performances and improved efficiency at our operated refineries. Results posted by the Marketing activity were impacted by falling demand, high competitive pressure and increased expenses associated with certain marketing initiatives including a special discount on prices at the pump during the summer week-ends. > In 2012 refining throughputs were 30.01 mmtonnes, down 6.1% from 2011. In Italy, processed volumes decreased (down 7.8%) due to the anticipation of scheduled standstills in order to mitigate the negative impact of the trading environment mainly at the Taranto and Gela refineries. Outside Italy, Eni’s refining throughputs increased by 3.2% in particular in the Czech Republic. > Retail sales in Italy of 7.83 mmtonnes decreased by 6.3% from 2011. This decline was driven by sharply lower consumption of gasoil and gasoline in Italy (down 8.3% from 2011) and increased competitive pressure. In 2012 Eni’s average retail market share was 31.2% increasing by 0.7 percentage points from 2011 benefiting from the commercial initiatives made in the third quarter of 2012. > Retail sales in the rest of Europe of 3.04 mmtonnes improved slightly from 2011 (up 1%). Volume additions in Austria and Switzerland, reflecting successful commercial initiatives were offset by lower sales in Eastern Europe due to declining demand.

Eni in 2012 Business review / Refining & Marketing

Strategies Eni’s Refining & Marketing segment engages in the supply of crude oil, refining and marketing of refined products, trading and shipping of crude oil and refined products primarily in Italy and in Central-Eastern Europe. In Italy, Eni is the largest refining and marketing operator in terms of capacity and market share. The Company’s operations are fully integrated through refining, supply, trading, logistics and marketing so as to maximize cost efficiencies and effectiveness of operations. 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. Over the next four years of the industrial plan, management does not expect any meaningful improvement in the trading environment. The ongoing economic downturn is anticipated to weigh on a recovery in demand and in refining margins. On the supply side, we see that capacity rationalization is progressing as 11 refineries have shut down in Europe eliminating 1.4 mmboe/d of processing capacity and we believe that a further 15 refineries could potentially close in coming years. However, we assume that the trading environment will not get any benefits from the current rationalization process at least over the short to the medium-term. Retail and wholesale marketing activities of refined products will be affected by sluggish demand and product oversupply that is expected to trigger pricing competition. Our priority in the Refining & Marketing segment remains to restore profitability and improve the cash generation against the backdrop of weak industry fundamentals. Our strategic guidelines are: • to intensify cost reduction initiatives, energy saving and optimization of plant operations, in order to drive margin expansions; • to make selective capital expenditure projects; • to enhance profitability at our marketing operations through a number of initiatives for improving service quality and client retention and non-oil profit contribution; • to grow selectively in target European markets and divest marginal assets. In the four year period, management plans to implement selective capital projects for upgrading refinery complexity and modernizing the retail network for a total amount of euro 2.4 billion. Approximately euro 1.7 billion is expected to be employed to convert the Venice plant into a bio-refinery, upgrade the Company’s best refineries and improving plant efficiency 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. Based on these actions, management expects the Refining & Marketing Division to break-even by 2014, assuming the same trading environment as in 2012.

Eni in 2012 Business review / Refining & Marketing

Refining > Planned actions In 2012, Eni’s refining system had total refining capacity (balanced with conversion capacity) of approximately 38.3 mmtonnes (equal to 767 kbbl/d) and a conversion index of 61%. Conversion is a parameter of refinery complexity. The higher the index, the wider the range of crude qualities and feedstock that a refinery is able to process thus enabling it to benefit from the cost economies associated with the purchase of heavy crudes that normally trade at discount with reference to the light crude Brent benchmark. Eni’s five 100% owned refineries have balanced capacity of 28.7 mmtonnes (equal to 574 kbbl/d), with a 64% conversion index. In 2012, Eni’s refineries throughputs in Italy and outside Italy were 30.01 mmtonnes. Against the backdrop of a weak refining scenario, management plans to implement all available levers to improve operations efficiency and profitability by: • pursuing better integration of refineries and logistic assets and seeking synergies with the Exploration & Production segment to monetize equity crudes and proprietary technologies; • maximizing refinery flexibility and conversion to extract value from heavy crudes; • converting the Venice plant into a "bio-refinery" to produce bio-fuels; • achieving energy efficiency initiatives and ensuring higher rates of plant reliability; • rationalizing logistic costs and implementing other cost-saving measures; • strictly selecting capital expenditure; and • boosting margins leveraging on risk management activities. > Our assets ITALY Eni’s refining system in Italy is composed of five wholly owned refineries and a 50% share in the Milazzo refinery in Sicily. Eni’s refineries in Italy operate and plan in order to maximize asset value according to the markets and the integration with Eni’s other activities. Sannazzaro refinery has balanced refining capacity of 190 kbbl/d and a conversion index of 59%. Management believes that this site is one of the most efficient refineries in Europe. Located in the Po Valley, it mainly supplies markets in North- Western Italy and Switzerland. The high 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 (HdC), and a visbreaking thermal conversion unit with a gasification facility loaded with heavy residue from visbreaking unit (tar) to produce syn-gas to feed the nearby EniPower power plant at Ferrera Erbognone. The most important ongoing project is a conversion unit based on the EST (Eni Slurry Technology) proprietary technology which targets the full upgrading of the heavy and extra-heavy barrel. Start-up of this facility is scheduled by 2013. As part of this initiative, Eni is developing the Slurry Dual Catalyst (an evolution of EST), based on a combination of two nano-catalysts, which could lead to a relevant breakthrough in the EST process, increasing its productivity and improving product quality. Another strategic process is the development of a process for hydrogen production, Hydrogen SCT-CPO (Short Contact Time-Catalytic Partial Oxidation) whose design is nearly completed. This reforming technology aims at transforming gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons (also derived from bio-mass) into synthetic gas (carbon monoxide and hydrogen) at competitive costs. Taranto refinery has balanced refining capacity of 120 kbbl/d and a conversion index of 72%. This refinery process most of oil produced in Eni’s Val d’Agri fields carried to Taranto through the Monte Alpi pipeline (in 2012 a total of 2.26 mmtonnes of this oil was processed). It principally produces fuels for automotive use and residential heating purposes for the Southern Italian markets. The complexity is achieved through a Residue Hydroconversion Unit (RHU) - Hydrocracking process and a "Two Stage" Visbreaking-Thermal Cracking unit. Gela refinery has balanced refining capacity of 100 kbbl/d and a conversion index of 142%. Located on the Southern coast of Sicily, it is integrated with upstream operations processing heavy crude produced from Eni’s nearby offshore and onshore fields. 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. In order to achieve full compliance with the tightest environmental standards, in the power station there is SNO x plant to remove suphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulates from flue gases. An underway refurbishment of the Gela power plant, substantially renewing pet-coke boilers, will increase profitability maximizing synergies from refining and power generation. OUTSIDE ITALY In Germany, Eni’s share in the Schwedt refinery is 8.3% and 20% in Bayernoil, an integrated industrial hub that includes the Vohburg and Neustadt refineries. Eni’s refining capacity in Germany is approximately 60 kbbl/d mainly to supply Eni’s distribution network in Bavaria and Eastern Germany. In the Czech Republic, Eni’s share is 32.4% in Ceska Rafinerska, that includes two refineries, Kralupy and Litvinov. Eni’s refining capacity amounts to about 53 kbbl/d to supply Eastern Europe. > Operational efficiency and > environmental performance Eni plans to improve operational efficiency and environmental performance at its refineries. Our targets in environmental sustainability include energy saving projects aimed at cutting emissions and use of fresh water; in particular our commitment is to reach total savings of 106 ktoe/y (of which 45 ktoe/y from 2013) entailing a saving in CO 2 emissions of 307 ktonnes/y (of which 130 ktonnes/y from 2013). Water reuse projects at Gela and Sannazzaro are expected to lead to savings of water of 5 mmcm/y. 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 products sale and storage of LPG and crude. Located in the Vado Ligure-Genova (Petrolig), Arquata Scrivia (Sigemi), Venice (Petroven), Ravenna (Petra) and Trieste (DCT) sites, they reduce logistic costs, and increase efficiency. Eni’s logistic model is based on a hub structure covering five main areas. These hubs monitor and centralize products flows in order to lower collection and delivery costs. Eni holds five partnerships with major Italian operators.

Eni in 2012 Business review / Refining & Marketing

| Marketing Eni
is the leader in the retail marketing of refined products
in Italy with a 31.2% market share, marketing a wide
range of refined petroleum products, through an extensive
network of operated service stations, franchises and
other distribution systems. In the Marketing activity management intends to preserve
profitability by: • strengthening our leadership in the Italian retail
market leveraging on opportunities deriving from the
liberalization process (i.e. rationalizing stations with
low throughput, boosting full "iperself" mode
and development of non-oil activities); • preserving our customer base by effective
marketing actions, rolling out our "eni" brand
and service excellence; • boosting margins by increasing the number of fully
automated outlets and the contribution from non-oil
products and services; and • selectively growing our market share in European
markets. Outside Italy, we intend to selectively develop our
activities. In 2012, 2,300 of Eni service stations were re-branded
to the "eni brand". We plan to complete this
activity by the end of 2013. In spite of a weak domestic
demand for fuels and rising competition, management plans
to preserve the market share achieved in 2012 (31.2%). We
expect that effective marketing campaigns, development of
the non-oil offering and continuous network upgrading
will underpin our market share and client retention. In 2012, retail sales in Italy were 7.79 mmtonnes,
down 6.5% driven by lower consumption of fuel and
gasoline, in particular at highway service stations
related to the decline in freight transportation. At
December 31, 2012, Eni’s retail network in Italy
consisted of 4,780 service stations, 79 more than at
December 31, 2011. | |
| --- | --- |
| Co-marketing During the summer months of 2012, Eni launched
a number of co-marketing promotions implemented with
important partners, such as Coop, Vodafone and Despar,
mainly targeting Italian households. This has been
achieved by offering | significant discounts on
primary goods and services. Eni has made an important
step to get closer to its customers and will continue to
do so also during the second half of 2013 with other
co-marketing activities with major national and
international brands. |

Eni in 2012 Business review / Refining & Marketing

Retail – outside Italy Eni’s strategy in the rest of Europe is focused on selectively growing its market share, particularly in Germany, Austria and Eastern Europe (e.g. Czech Republic) leveraging on the synergies ensured by the proximity of these markets to Eni’s production and logistic facilities. In 2012, retail sales of refined products marketed in the rest of Europe (3.04 mmtonnes) were basically stable (up 1%). Volume additions in Austria and Switzerland reflecting successful commercial policies were almost completely offset by lower sales in Eastern Europe due to declining demand. At December 31, 2012, Eni’s retail network in the rest of Europe consisted of 1,604 service stations, an increase of 18 units from December 31, 2011. The key markets of Eni’s presence are: Austria with a 11.7% market share, Hungary with 11.9%, Czech Republic with 10.8%, Slovakia with 9.7%, Switzerland with 7.1% and Germany with a 3.2% on national basis. > Non-oil Non-oil activities have become an integral part of our retail business. We have been upgrading our offer of non-oil products and services by carefully selecting our partners and improving quality and reach of the offer. Our most important service stations in Italy are equipped with franchised outlets, which market a wide range of food items, services and other merchandise. In 2012 we increased our supply of non-oil products and services at our service stations in Italy by developing a chain of franchised outlets, in particular: • "enicafé", which is a format deployed at 610 stations following the upgrading of existing bars and stores where foods and other services (wifi connection, payments, etc.) are marketed; • "enishop24", Eni 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 550 outlets; • "eni carwash", areas for car washing, mainly automatic, which are present in 180 service stations. > 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 Eni high quality 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 present all over Italy and articulated in local marketing offices and a network of agents and concessionaires. In 2012, sales volumes on wholesale markets in Italy (8.62 mmtonnes) declined by approximately 740 ktonnes, down 7.9%, mainly due to declining sales of gasoline and gasoil related to lower demand from transports and industrial customers due to a generalized slowdown and lower jet fuel sales related to declining demand. LPG In Italy, Eni is leader in LPG production, marketing and sale with 614 ktonnes sold for heating and automotive use equal to a 19.8% market share. An additional 206 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 2012 amounted to 515 ktonnes of which 389 ktonnes in Ecuador where Eni’s LPG market share is around 37.8%. Lubricants Eni operates six (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-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. In 2012, retail and wholesale sales in Italy amounted to 96 ktonnes with a 24.3% market share. Oxygenates Eni, through its subsidiary Ecofuel (Eni 100%), sells approximately 1.10 mmtonnes/y of oxygenates, mainly ethers (approximately 3.1% of world demand) and methanol (approximately 0.6% of world demand). About 76% of oxygenates are produced in Eni’s plants in Italy (Ravenna), in Venezuela (in joint venture with Pequiven) and Saudi Arabia (in joint venture with Sabic) and the remaining 24% is bought and resold. Eni distributes bio-ETBE in the Italian market in compliance with the new legislation indicating minimum content of bio-fuels. Bio-ETBE like MTBE is an octane booster and gained a relevant position in the formulation of gasoline in European Union because 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 minimum content changed from 3% to 3.5%. From January 1, 2012, the compulsory content of bio-fuels increased to 4.5% from 4% in 2011 and through bio-ETBE and bio-diesel (of 1st and 2nd generation) blending into fossil fuels Eni covered the compliance within 109.6% in 2012. Eni plans to cover compliance through bio-ETBE, FAME, green diesel from Porto Marghera site, and direct blending of ethanol in gasoline in particular in some extents of Sannazzaro refinery inland.

2012 Highlights

Performance of the year > In 2012 the employees and contractors injury frequency rates continued to follow the positive trends of previous years (down 48.3% and 63.9%, respectively). > In 2012 emissions of greenhouse gases, NO x and SO x decreased due to energy saving. > In 2012 the sector reported sharply higher operating losses at euro 395 million (down euro 189 million from 2011), due to weak trends in demand reflecting the economic downturn and falling unit margins. > Sales of petrochemical products were 3,953 ktonnes, down 87 ktonnes, or 2.1% from 2011, due to declining consumption. > Petrochemical production volumes were 6,090 ktonnes, decreasing by 155 ktonnes, down 2.48%, due a steep decline in demand for petrochemical products in all businesses, in particular the steepest decline was reported in polyethylene. > In 2012 overall expenditure in R&D amounted to approximately euro 38 million in line with the previous year. A total of new 18 patent applications were filed, including one in collaboration with our Exploration & Production Division. Expansion in international markets > In October 2012, Versalis signed 2 joint venture agreements with major chemical operators in South Korea and Malaysia to build and operate facilities for the production of elastomers incorporating Versalis proprietary technologies and know-how. These initiatives are in line with Eni’s strategy of international expansion in Asian markets with interesting growth prospects. Bio-based chemicals > In January 2013, Versalis and Yulex, an agricultural-based bio-materials company, signed a strategic partnership to manufacture guayule-based bio-rubber materials in a production complex in Southern Europe. The partnership will cover the entire manufacturing chain. Versalis will produce high-margin materials for consumer and medical specialty markets. The investment will include an ambitious research project to develop technologies targeting the tire industry. In June 2012, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed with Genomatica and Novamont to establish a technological joint venture in Italy aimed at developing a new technology for the production of butadiene from renewable feedstock. This joint venture will also hold exclusive rights for the industrial application of the research results, including licensing it to third parties.

Eni in 2012 Business review / Chemicals

| Strategies The
chemical industry is subject to fluctuations in demand in
response to macroeconomic cycles, leading to volatile
results of operations and cash flow. It is a highly
competitive industry due to lack of entry barriers,
product commoditization and excess capacity, which may
exacerbate the impact of any demand downturns on the
results reported by Eni’s Chemical business.
Eni’s chemical operations have been facing
increasing competition from Asian companies and the
petrochemical arm of national oil companies based in the
Middle East which can leverage on long-term competitive
advantages in terms of lower operating costs and cheaper
feedstock costs. Management also expects that US-based
petrochemical companies will regain competitiveness in
the medium term leveraging on the large domestic
availability of raw materials which can be extracted from
shale gas. On the back of this scenario, management intends to
recover profitability by further rationalizing and
integrating Eni’s activities, refocusing
Versalis’ portfolio away from loss-making commodity
chemicals while at the same time developing innovative
and niche productions which are expected to yield better
returns. Versalis’ core products will be elastomers,
with targeted production growth of over 60% to 2016 and
the specialties segment including bio-chemicals. Particularly, we intend to grow the green chemistry
business leveraging on the ongoing project of converting
the Porto Torres site into a modern plant for the
manufacture of eco-compatible chemical products. Based on these initiatives, management expects
chemical operations to break-even in the next four-year
period. Business
areas > Intermediates Intermediates 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 derivatives that converge, in turn, into
a range of other productive processes: plastics, rubbers,
fibers, solvents and lubricants. Intermediate revenues (euro 3,110 million) increased
by euro 123 million from 2011 (up | |
| --- | --- |
| 4%) due to the positive
performance of derivatives, reflecting increased sales
volumes (up 21%) and average unit prices (up 10%) due to
a more dynamic market and product availability. Sales
volumes of olefins and aromatics declined (down 2% and
4.5%, respectively) due to the shutdown of the
polyethylene line in the Sicilian plants due to their
lack of profitability and demand decline. Average unit
aromatics prices increased by 12% driven by the price of
benzene (up 18.7%). Intermediates production (4,112.5
ktonnes) was in line with last year (up 0.3%). An
increase was registered in derivatives (up 12%) for
phenol/derivatives and styrene monomer that last year had
been affected by the planned facility downtimes at the
Mantova plant. Production of olefins and aromatics
declined by 2.7% and 5.4%, respectively. > Polymers In the polymers business, Versalis is active
in the production of (i) 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; (ii) styrenics, which 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; (iii) elastomers, which 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. Polymer
revenues (euro 3,128 million) decreased by euro 171
million from 2011 (down 5.2%) due to decreased sales
volumes (down 5.8%) resulting from a steep decline in
demand in particular on Italian and European markets,
offset in part by slight increases in the markets of
Eastern Europe. Unit prices of elastomers declined (down 1.3%) due to
lower unit prices for SBR/BR rubbers, affected by the
downturn of the automotive industry and of polyethylene
(down 0.4%), despite an improvement in the second part of
the year. Polymer production (1,978 ktonnes) decreased by 167
ktonnes from 2011 (down 7.8%), due mainly to a decline in
elastomer production (down 9.4%) at Ravenna and Ferrara
for the downturn of the automotive industry and of
polyethylene (down 6%). The decline in styrene production
(down 10.3%) was due to the divestment of compact and
expandable polystyrene plant of Feluy (Belgium). |

2012 Highlights

Performance of the year > The percentage of manager positions covered by local personnel is higher than 40% of total managerial positions, except for France and Italy, reflecting however fluctuations due to he opening of new yards and short-term projects. > The overall amount of procurement was euro 9,584 million, of which euro 7,802 million related to operating projects, 51.8% of which was procured with local suppliers. > In 2012 the employees injury frequency rate worsened from 2011 (by 22.7%) while it improved for contractors by 19%. Saipem continues to strive to mitigate and reduce accidents and injuries to its employees and contractors by means of training and awareness campaigns, such as the "Working at height", the dedicated HSE training portal and training courses for crane operators. > Safety and environment expenditure increased by 24% from 2011 (from euro 83 million to euro 103 million). > In 2012 the Engineering & Construction sector reported adjusted net profit amounting to euro 1,109 million, in line with 2011 (up 1%). This result reflects the good operating performance recorded mainly in the Drilling businesses deriving from the full operations of Scarabeo 9 and to greater profitability from the Saipem 10000 vessel, almost totally offset by the decline in performance of the Engineering & Construction business due to falling demand for oilfield services and lower margins at certain works related to the general downturn especially in the second half of the year. > Capital expenditure amounted to euro 1,011 million (euro 1,090 million in 2011) and mainly regarded the upgrading of the drilling and construction fleet. > In 2012 overall expenditure in R&D amounted approximately to euro 15 million in line with 2011. A total of 13 new patent applications were filed.

Strategies Through Saipem, a subsidiary listed on the Italian Stock Exchange (Eni’s interest is 42.91%), and Saipem’s controlled entities, Eni engages in engineering and construction, as well as offshore and onshore drilling targeting the oil&gas industry. In those markets Saipem boasts a strong competitive position, particularly in executing large, complex EPC contracts for the construction of offshore and onshore facilities and systems to develop hydrocarbons reserves as well as LNG, refining and petrochemicals plants, pipeline laying and offshore and onshore drilling services. The Company owes its market position to technological and operational skills which we believe are acknowledged in the marketplace due to its capabilities to operate in frontier areas and complex ecosystems, efficiently and effectively managing large projects, engineering competencies and availability of technologically-advanced vessels and rigs

which have been upgraded in recent years through a large capital expenditure plan. Management expects to further strengthen Saipem’s competitive position in the medium term, leveraging on its business model articulated across various market sectors combined with a strong competitive position in frontier areas, which are traditionally less exposed to the cyclical nature of this market. Based on those strengths we believe that Saipem will be able to overcome current headwinds due to macroeconomic uncertainties and a margin slowdown that are expected to affect the profitability outlook in 2013. > Engineering & Construction Offshore Saipem is well positioned in the market of large, complex projects for the development of offshore hydrocarbon fields leveraging on its technical and operational skills, supported by a technologically-advanced fleet, the ability to operate in complex environments, and engineering and project management capabilities acquired on the marketplace over recent years. Saipem intends to consolidate its market share strengthening its EPIC oriented business model and leveraging on its satisfactory long-term relationships with the major oil companies and National Oil Companies ("NOCs"). Higher levels of efficiency and flexibility are expected to be achieved by reaching the technological excellence and the highest economies of scale in its engineering hubs employing local resources in contexts where this represents a competitive advantage, integrating in its own business model the direct management of construction process through the creation of a large construction yard in South-East Asia and revamping/upgrading its construction fleet. Over the next years, Saipem will invest in the upgrading of its fleet, the construction of a large construction yard in Brazil and the acquisition of new rigs in the drilling segments. In 2012 revenues amounted to euro 5,207 million, increasing by 5.5% from 2011, due to higher levels of activity in the Middle and Far East. Orders acquired amounted to euro 7,477 million (euro 6,131 million in 2011) and related to: (i) an EPCI contract with INPEX for the installation of an underwater pipeline 889-kilometer long linking the offshore Ichthys field with the onshore shut-off valves in the area of Darwin, Australia; (ii) an EPCI contract with Lukoil for the installation of two underwater pipelines linking the offshore Vladimir Filanovsky block in the northern area of the Caspian Sea, with the onshore facility between 10-20 kilometers inland in the Russian Republic of Kalmyk. > Engineering & Construction Onshore In the Engineering & Construction Onshore business, Saipem is one of the largest operators on turnkey contract base at a worldwide level in the oil&gas segment, especially through the acquisition of Snamprogetti. Saipem operates in the construction of plants for hydrocarbon production (extraction, separation, stabilization, collection of hydrocarbons, water injection) and treatment (removal and recovery of sulphur dioxide and carbon dioxide, fractioning of gaseous liquids, recovery of condensates) and in the installation of large onshore transport systems (pipelines, compression stations, terminals). Saipem preserves its own competitiveness through its technology excellence granted by its engineering hubs, its distinctive know-how in the construction of projects in the high-tech market of LNG and the management of large parts of engineering activities in cost efficient areas. In the medium term, underpinning upward trends in the oil service market, Saipem will be focused on taking advantage of the opportunities arising from the market in the plant and pipeline segments leveraging on its solid competitive position in the realization of complex projects in the strategic areas of the Middle East, Caspian Sea, Northern and Western Africa and Russia. In 2012 revenues amounted to euro 5,745 million, increasing by 3.9% from 2011, due to higher levels of activity in the Middle East and North America. Orders acquired amounted to euro 3,972 million (euro 5,006 million in 2011), declining mainly as a result of the cancellation of the Jurassic contract in the third quarter of 2012. Among the main orders acquired were: (i)a turn-key contract for Shell concerning the SSAGS (Southern Swamp Associated Gas) project concerning the construction of four compression stations and new production facilities for the treatment of collected gas in various areas of the Delta State in Nigeria; (ii) an EPC contract for Saudi Aramco and Sumitomo Chemical for the Naphtha and Aromatics Package (RP2) of the Rabigh II project. > Offshore drilling Saipem is the only engineering and construction contractor that provides also offshore and onshore drilling services to oil companies. In the offshore drilling segment Saipem mainly operates in West Africa, the North Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East and boasts significant market positions in the most complex segments of deep and ultra-deep offshore, leveraging on the outstanding technical features of its drilling platforms and vessels, capable of drilling exploration and development wells at a maximum depth of 9,200 meters. In order to better meet industry demands, Saipem is finalizing an upgrading program of its drilling fleet providing it with state-of-art rigs to enhance its role as high quality player capable of operating also in complex and harsh environments. In parallel, investments are ongoing to renew and to keep up the production capacity of other fleet equipment (upgrade equipment to the characteristics of projects or to clients’ needs and purchase of support equipment). In 2012 revenues amounted to euro 1,089 million, increasing by 30.6% from 2011. Revenues deriving from the entry in full activity of the semisubmersible rigs Scarabeo 8 and Scarabeo 9 in 2012 were offset in part by the planned facility downtime of the Scarabeo 3 and Scarabeo 6 semisubmersible rigs. Orders acquired amounted to euro 1,025 million (euro 780 million in 2011), relating mainly to the drilling contract of the Scarabeo 7 operating in Indonesian waters; (ii) the contract of the Perro Negro jack up operating in Italian waters. > Onshore drilling Saipem operates in this area as a main contractor for the major international oil companies and NOCs executing its activity mainly in South America, Saudi Arabia, North Africa and, at a lower extent, in Europe. In this area Saipem can leverage its knowledge of the market, long-term relations with customers and synergies and integration with other business areas. Saipem boasts a solid track record in remote areas (in particular in the Caspian Sea), leveraging on its own operational skills and its ability to operate in complex environments. In 2012 revenues amounted to euro 730 million, increasing slightly from 2011. Orders acquired amounted to euro 917 million (euro 588 million in 2011) and related mainly (i) the leasing contract to Saudi Aramco of 15 facilities in Saudi Arabia; (ii) the contracts for 8 facilities to be employed in South America, Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, Algeria, Mauritania and Italy.

Eni in 2012 Group results for the year

Group results for the year

Trading environment 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. 2012 Group results were achieved in a trading environment characterized by a marker Brent price of $111.58 per barrel, almost in line with 2011. The gas market was influenced by weak demand as a consequence of the European economic slowdown and strong competition fuelled by oversupplies. In spite of a 5% rise in European spot prices gas margins were squeezed by higher oil-linked supply costs. Refining margins showed a recovery from the depressed levels registered a year ago (the benchmark margin on Brent crude averaged $4.83 per barrel, up $2.77 per barrel). However the absolute size of margins remained in unprofitable territory due to the volatility in the trading environment and weak fuel demand on the back of the economic downturn, excess capacity and high cost of oil feedstock and oil-linked energy utilities. Furthermore, Eni’s complex refineries were impacted by narrowing price differentials between light and heavy crudes. Results for the year were helped by the appreciation of the US dollar over the euro (up 7.7%). 2012 results In 2012, net profit attributable to Eni’s shareholders from continuing operations was euro 4,198 million, a decrease of euro 2,704 million, down by 39.2% from 2011. The result was negatively impacted by a lower operating profit, down by euro 1,777 million driven by the recognition of impairment losses of euro 4,029 million (euro 1,031 million in 2011) which were mainly incurred in the gas marketing and refining businesses due to a reduced profitability outlook on the back of the ongoing European downturn. In addition, net profit reflected increased income taxes (up by euro 1,756 million) due to higher taxable income reported by the Exploration & Production Division, subject to higher tax rates, and a write-down of euro 1,030 million recognized at deferred tax assets of Italian subsidiaries. On a positive side, net profit for the year reflected higher net profit from investments (up by euro 758 million) mainly due to gains from the disposal of part of Eni’s interest in Galp and other Galp-related transactions. Net profit from discontinued operations included results of Snam until loss of control by Eni and the gains recorded both on the divestment of about 30% of Snam to Cassa Depositi e Prestiti for an amount of euro 2,019 million and the fair value revaluation at the residual interest based on current market prices for euro 1,451 million. Adjusted net profit attributable to Eni’s shareholders including results from discontinued operations amounted to euro 7,788 million, an increase of euro 928 million (up 13.5% from 2011).

(a) For a detailed explanation of adjusted operating profit and net profit see paragraph "Reconciliation of reported operating and net profit to results on an adjusted basis".

Special charges in operating profit from continuing operations of euro 4,744 million mainly related to: (i) impairment losses of euro 4,029 million relating to goodwill and other tangible and intangible assets in the gas marketing and the refining businesses. In performing the impairment review, management assumed a reduced profitability outlook in those businesses driven by a deteriorating European macroeconomic environment, volatility in commodity prices and margins, and rising competitive pressures. Other impairment losses were incurred at a number of oil&gas properties in the Exploration & Production Division reflecting downward reserve revisions and a changed pricing environment, as well as marginal lines of business in the Chemical segment due to lack of profitability perspectives; (ii) extraordinary expenses and risk provisions of euro 945 million incurred in connection with price revisions at long-term gas purchase contracts which were presented as special items given the contractual time span for price revisions expired in previous periods and relating to gas volumes purchased in previous reporting periods, including the one related to the settlement of an arbitration proceeding with GasTerra; (iii) a gain on the divestment of a 10% interest in the Karachaganak project to the Kazakh partner KazMunaiGas as part of the settlement agreement (euro 343 million). Special items in net profit included: (i) the euro 2.08 billion gains recorded on Galp, including the divestment of a 9% interest (euro 311 million), a revaluation gain of the residual interest in Galp at market fair value through profit, following the loss of significant influence over the investee (euro 865 million) as well as a gain recognized through profit on occasion of a capital increase made by Galp’s subsidiary Petrogal which was subscribed by a new partner (euro 835 million); (ii) a portion of the write-down incurred at Italian subsidiaries’ deferred tax assets (euro 800 million out of a global write-down of euro 1,030 million) which was driven by a lower likelihood of recoverability due to an expected reduction in taxable income generated in Italy, and as Eni has lost the availability of Snam taxable profit against which Italian tax assets can be utilized following the deconsolidation of Snam. The breakdown of adjusted net profit by Division is shown in the table below:

Sources and uses of cash The Company’s cash requirements for capital expenditure, dividends to shareholders, and working capital were financed by a combination of funds generated from operations, borrowings and divestments. Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations (euro 12,356 million) and proceeds from disposals of euro 6,014 million funded cash outflows relating to capital expenditure totaling euro 12,761 million and investments (euro 569 million) relating to the acquisition of Nuon in Belgium and joint venture projects, as well as dividend payments amounting to euro 4,379 million (of which euro 1,956 million relating to the 2012 interim dividend and euro 1,884 million to the balance dividend for fiscal year 2011 to Eni’s shareholders and the remaining part related to other dividend payments to non-controlling interests). Disposals of assets mainly regarded the divestment of a 30% interest less one share in Snam to Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (euro 3,517 million), two tranches of the interest in Galp for an overall amount of euro 963 million (a 5% interest sold to Amorim BV and a 4% sold through an accelerated book-building procedure), a 10% interest in the Karachaganak field (approximately euro 500 million) and other non-strategic assets in the Exploration & Production Division (euro 695 million). The proceeds on the divestment of a 5% interest in Snam before loss of control to institutional investors (euro 612 million) were recognized as an equity transaction. > Capital structure and ratios Following the divestment of a significant interest in Snam and deconsolidation of the investee’s net borrowings as well as the transaction involving Eni’s interest in Galp, the Group achieved a substantial improvement in its leverage at 2012 year end down to 0.25. Management believes that this improved financial position is consistent with the Company’s new business profile, which features greater exposure to the Exploration & Production segment. For planning purposes, management projected the Company’s expected cash flows assuming a scenario of Brent prices at 90 $/bbl for the years 2013-2016 to assess the financial compatibility of its capital expenditure programs and dividend policy with internal targets of ratio of total equity to net borrowing. Under that assumption, in 2013, the ratio of net borrowings to total equity is projected to be substantially in line with the level achieved at the end of 2012, due to cash flows from operations and portfolio management. Going forward, management currently expects to maintain this ratio within a target range of 0.1-0.3. This range will allow us to absorb temporary fluctuations in oil prices, the market environment and business results. The projected future cash flows from operations are estimated to fully fund capital expenditure plans. Furthermore management expects to deliver more than euro 10 billion of additional cash flows from asset disposal, mainly the divestment of the residual interest of Eni in Snam and Galp, the announced divestment of the 28.57% interest in Eni East Africa and other marginal assets in the Exploration & Production segment. Our cash flow projections are based on our Brent scenario of 90 $/bbl flat in the next four years. We note that Brent price in the period January 1 to March 28, 2013 was 112.60 $/bbl on average. We estimated that our cash flow from operations may improve by around euro 120 million for each dollar increase in Brent prices on a yearly basis. > Returning cash to shareholders Management plans to pay a dividend of euro 1.08 a share for fiscal year 2012 subject to approval from the General Shareholders’ Meeting scheduled for May 10, 2013. Of this, euro 0.54 per share was paid in September 2012 as an interim dividend with the balance of euro 0.54 per share expected to be paid in late May 2013. The dividend for fiscal year 2012 represents an increase of 4% compared to the 2011 dividend. Management has adopted a new dividend policy which contemplates a progressive, growing dividend at a rate which is expected to be determined year-to-year taking into account Eni’s underlying earnings and cash flow growth as well as capital expenditure requirements and the targeted financial structure. Management will also evaluate the achievement of the targeted production levels in the Exploration & Production segment, the status of renegotiations at long-term gas supply contracts in the Gas & Power segment and the delivery on efficiency gains in the downstream businesses. Management also plans to return cash to shareholders by means of a new flexible buy-back program, which has been authorized by the Shareholders’ Meeting for a total amount of euro 6 billion. The buy-back will be activated at management’s sole discretion and when a number of conditions are met. These include, but are not limited to, a level of leverage which management assesses to be sound enough given market conditions and well within our target range limit of 0.3, and full funding of capital expenditure requirements and dividends throughout the plan period. In 2013, management would consider the activation of the buyback program, provided oil prices remain at current levels and Eni makes good progress on its business and cash flow targets. Outlook for 2013 Management expects an uncertain macroeconomic outlook in 2013, particularly in the Euro-zone where businesses and households are cautious about investments

and consumption decisions. We expect that a number of factors will support the price of crude oil including ongoing geopolitical risks as well as an improved balance between world demand and supplies of crude oil. For investment evaluation purposes and short-term financial projections, Eni assumes a full-year average price of $90 a barrel for the Brent crude benchmark. Management expects continuing weak conditions in the European gas, refining and marketing of fuels and chemical sectors. Demand for energy commodities is anticipated to remain sluggish due to the ongoing economic stagnation; unit margins are exposed to competitive pressures and the risk of new increases in the costs of oil-based raw materials in an extremely volatile environment. In this scenario, the recovery of profitability in the Gas & Power, Refining & Marketing and Chemical segments will depend greatly on management actions to optimize operations and improve the cost position. Management expects that year-on-year comparability of results from continuing operations in 2013 will be affected by the fact that in 2012 Snam margins on intra-group transactions relating to the supply of gas transport and other services have been eliminated upon consolidation, while in 2013 those transactions will be accounted as third-party transactions, thus affecting the Group operating costs and profits. Financial risk factors > Market risk and sensitivity > to market environment Market risk is the possibility that the exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates or commodity prices will adversely affect the value of the Group’s financial assets, liabilities or expected future cash flows. Eni’s financial performance is particularly sensitive to changes in the price of crude oil and movements in the euro/$ exchange rate. Overall, a rise in the price of crude oil has a positive effect on Eni’s results from operations and liquidity due to increased revenues from oil and gas production. Conversely, a decline in crude oil prices reduces Eni’s results from operations and liquidity. The impact of changes in crude oil prices on the Company’s downstream gas and refining and marketing businesses and chemical operations depends upon the speed at which the prices of finished products adjust to reflect changes in crude oil prices. In addition, the Group’s activities are, to various degrees, sensitive to fluctuations in the euro/$ exchange rate as commodities are generally priced internationally in US dollars or linked to dollar denominated products as in the case of gas prices. Overall, an appreciation of the euro against the dollar reduces the Group’s results from operations and liquidity, and vice versa. As part of its financing and cash management activities, the Company uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. These instruments are principally interest rate and currency swaps. The Company also enters into commodity derivatives as part of its ordinary commercial, trading activities and risk management and optimization activities as well as, from time to time, to hedge the exposure to variability in future cash flows due to movements in commodity prices, in view of pursuing acquisitions of oil and gas reserves as part of the Company’s ordinary asset portfolio management or other strategic initiatives. Due to a changed competitive environment in the European gas market and also considering the development of highly liquid spot markets for gas and volatile gas margins, management has implemented through 2011 new risk management policies and instruments to safeguard the value of the Company’s assets in the gas value chain and to seek to profit from market and trading opportunities. As part of its risk management strategy, the Company actively manages exposure to the commodity risk by entering into commodity derivatives transactions on both financial and physical trading venues targeting different objectives. (i) On one hand, management enters commodity derivative transactions 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. Management has been implementing tight correlation between such commodity derivatives transactions and underlying physical contracts in order to account for those derivatives in accordance with hedging accounting in compliance with IAS 39, where possible; and (ii) on the other hand, management enters purchase/sale commodity contracts for speculative purposes in order to alter the risk profile associated with a portfolio of assets (purchase contracts, transport entitlements, storage capacity) or leverage any price 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 future trends in prices. These contracts may lead to gains as well as losses, which, in each case, may be significant. Those derivatives will be accounted through profit and loss, resulting in higher volatility in the gas business operating profit. These trading activities are executed within limits set by internal policies and guidelines that define the maximum tolerable level of market risk. Furthermore the Company intends to optimize the value of its assets (gas supply contracts, storage sites, transportation rights, customer base, and market position) by effectively managing the flexibilities associated with them. This can be achieved through strategies of asset-backed trading where the underlying items are represented by the Company’s assets. We believe that the risk associated with asset backed trading activities is mitigated by the natural hedge granted by the assets availability. In 2012, Eni’s risk management activities helped reduce the Group exposure to the commodity risk. Furthermore trading activities including asset-backed activities reported a positive contribution to the Group results of operations. We are planning to expand those trading activities both in the Gas & Power and the Refining & Marketing businesses. In fact, in 2012 the Company started a reorganization to integrate the supply activities of the Gas & Power and Refining & Marketing segments together with our trading, risk management and the wholesale activities of gas and LNG. This integration will allow us to capture opportunities from market trends and synergies in commodity risk management. > 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 finance requirements and to settle obligations. Such a situation would negatively impact Group results as it would result in the Company incurring higher borrowing

expenses to meet its obligations or, under the worst conditions, the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. As part of its financial planning process, Eni manages the liquidity risk by targeting such a capital structure as to allow the Company to maintain a level of liquidity adequate to the Group’s needs, optimizing the opportunity cost of maintaining liquidity reserves also achieving an efficient balance in terms of maturity and composition of finance debt. The Group capital structure is set according to the Company’s industrial targets and within the limits established by the Company’s Board of Directors who are responsible for prescribing the maximum ratio of debt to total equity and minimum ratio of medium and long-term debt to total debt as well as fixed rate medium and long-term debt to total medium and long-term debt. In spite of ongoing tough credit market conditions resulting in higher spreads to borrowers, the Company has succeeded in maintaining access to a wide range of funding at competitive rates through the capital markets and banks. The actions implemented as part of Eni’s 2012 financial planning have enabled the Group to maintain access to the credit market particularly via the issue of commercial paper also targeting to increase the flexibility of funding facilities. The minimization of liquidity risks is a strategic driver of the next four-year financial plan. In particular in 2012, Eni issued three bonds addressed to institutional investors for a total amount of euro 1.82 billion, all at fixed rate with maturity of approximately 8 years. In November, as part of the divestment process of its interest in Galp, Eni also issued a convertible bond with underlying Galp shares equal to 8% of the share capital of the investee for a total amount of euro 1.03 billion at fixed rate with a maturity of three years. Eni’s financial policies are designed to achieve the following targets: (i) ensuring adequate funds to cover short-term obligations and reimbursement of long-term debt due; (ii) maintaining an adequate level of financial flexibility to support Eni’s development plans; (iii) attaining a balance between duration and composition of the finance debt; and (iv) maintaining a cash reserve following the great flow of liquidity achieved from the divestments of 2012, particularly the disposal of Snam. The cash reserve will be commeasured in order to: (i) reduce the refinancing with maturity of one year, allowing the Company to be financially independent also in case of negative trends in the trading environment; (ii) increase the level of liquidity to face possible extraordinary needs; and (iii) increase the flexibility of the Company’s financial structure considering lingering uncertainties in the credit markets, in a similar way as the policies adopted by the peer group companies and with a view of improving the Company’s financial rating assessment. Cash stock will be available only for short-term operations with a very low risk profile. 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, 2012, Eni maintained short-term committed and uncommitted unused borrowing facilities of euro 12,173 million, of which euro 1,241 million were committed, and long-term committed borrowing facilities of euro 6,928 million which were completely undrawn at the balance sheet date. 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 12.3 billion were drawn as of December 31, 2012. The Group has credit ratings of A and A-1, respectively, for long and short-term debt assigned by Standard & Poor’s and A3 and P-2 assigned by Moody’s; the outlook is negative in both ratings. Eni’s credit ratings are potentially exposed to the risk of further downgrading of the sovereign credit rating of Italy in addition to a possible deterioration in the global macroeconomic outlook, particularly the risks of a break-up of the Euro-zone. On the basis of the methodologies used by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, a potential downgrade of Italy’s credit rating may have a potential knock-on effect on the credit rating of Italian issuers such as Eni and make it more likely that the credit rating of the notes or other debt instruments issued by the Company could be downgraded. Eni, through the constant monitoring of the international economic environment and continuing dialogue with financial investors and rating agencies, believes to be ready to perceive emerging critical issues screened by the financial community and to be able to react quickly to any changes in the financial and the global macroeconomic environment and implement the necessary actions to mitigate such risks, coherently with Company strategies. 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 and accounting units are responsible for managing credit risk arising in the normal course of 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 account 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 department, including Eni’s subsidiary Eni Trading & Shipping which specifically engages in commodity derivatives transactions and by Group Companies and Divisions, 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 counterpart 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.

Eni in 2012 Financial information

Financial information

Summary of significant accounting policies and practices 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. In 2012, in accordance with the guidelines of IFRS 5, the results of Snam SpA and its subsidiaries (Snam) have been reported as discontinued operations due to Eni’s plan to divest the business. Eni lost control over the entity in October 2012, as part of a transaction to divest approximately 30% of the share capital of Snam to an Italian entity, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti which is a related party of Eni as both entities are under the common control of the Italian Ministry for Economy and Finance. The divestment took place in accordance to Law No. 27 of March 24, 2012, which mandated the ownership unbundling of Snam from Eni. Prior year data have been reclassified in accordance with guidelines of IFRS 5. The residual interest of Eni in Snam equal to 20.2% of the share capital of the investee as of the balance sheet date was accounted as financial instrument because Eni is forbidden from exercising the underlying voting rights by applicable laws and therefore cannot influence the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee. Furthermore, under applicable rules, Eni is mandated to divest any residual interest in the entity. The consolidated financial statements of Eni include the 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 benefits 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 cash flow hedges, hedging exposure to variability in cash flows, are recognized in equity, except for the ineffective portion which 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 calculated 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 (legal or constructive) obligation 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 2012 included in Eni’s Annual Report. 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 post-retirement benefits, recognition of environmental liabilities and recognition of revenues in the engineering and construction business. 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 2012 included in Eni’s Annual Report.

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, special items and, in determining the business segments’ adjusted results, finance charges on finance debt and interest income. The adjusted operating profit of each business segment reports gains and losses on derivative financial instruments entered into to manage exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates which impact industrial margins and translation of commercial payables and receivables. Accordingly also currency translation effects recorded through profit and loss are reported within business segments’ adjusted operating profit. 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. 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; (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; or (iii) exchange rate differences and derivatives relating to industrial activities and commercial payables and receivables, particularly exchange rate derivatives to manage commodity pricing formulas which are quoted in a currency other than the functional currency. Those items are reclassified in operating profit with a corresponding adjustment to net finance charges, notwithstanding the handling of foreign currency exchange risks is made centrally by netting off naturally-occurring opposite positions and then dealing with any residual risk exposure in the exchange rate market. 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. 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 in 2012 Financial information

For a reconciliation of Summarized Group Balance Sheet and Summarized Group Cash Flow Statement with the corresponding statutory tables see Eni’s 2012 Annual Report, "Reconciliation of Summarized Group Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows to Statutory Schemes" pages 86-88.

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 the proportion of net borrowings to shareholders’ equity (leverage) intended to evaluate whether Eni’s financing structure is sound and well-balanced.

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.

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 flows 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.

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. 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. > Production sharing agreements (PSA) 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. > Possible reserves Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. > 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. > 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. > Recoverable reserves Amounts of hydrocarbons included in different categories of reserves (proved, probable and possible), without considering their different degree of uncertainty. > 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. > 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. > Average reserve life index Ratio between the amount of reserves at the end of the year and total production for the year. > 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). > 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. > 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.
