    Eni's oil output hits third-quarter record with more to come
    *Claudio Descalzi, Eni CEO

    Milan — Energy group Eni achieved its highest ever oil and gas production rate for a third quarter, softening the blow of lower quarterly earnings because of weak oil and gas prices.

    The Italian company generates around 90% of its operating profit from its upstream oil and gas business. Major gas discoveries in Mozambique and Egypt have given the company the strongest discovery record in the industry, boosting its credentials with oil-producing nations.

    Eni said on Friday production jumped 6% to 1.89 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) in the three months to September, boosted by its giant Zohr field in Egypt and new acreage in Mexico.

    The company expects production to increase further in the final quarter and said it would now add 700 million boed of output this year from a previous estimate of 600 million boed.

    Third-quarter adjusted net profit fell 44% to 776 million euros ($862 million), impacted by lower commodity prices and the loss of earnings from its former Eni Norge business.

    The result was just above an analyst consensus provided by the company of 0.77 billion euros.

    CEO Claudio Descalzi said despite the 50% drop in gas prices in the third quarter and the fall in crude by $13 per barrel cash flow remained solid.

    “Eni’s efficient portfolio can achieve breakeven at prices well below current difficult conditions,” he said.

    At 0919 GMT Eni shares were down 0.8% in line with the European oil and gas index.

    “It’s looking rosy for Eni with all the upstream work that will drive growth next year,” said Santander oil analyst Jason Kenney.

    Over the last year Eni has done a string of deals in the Gulf, including paying more than $3 billion to buy part of the world’s fourth-biggest refinery in the United Arab Emirates as part of plans to reduce its reliance on Africa and oil and gas exploration.
