Luanda: Claudio Descalzi, CEO of global technology-driven energy company Eni, has joined the Angola Oil and Gas (AOG) conference as a keynote speaker. Taking place September 3-4 in Luanda, AOG is the largest event of its kind in the country, returning for its next edition as Angola celebrates 50 years of independence in 2025. Descalzi’s participation comes as the Eni-bp joint venture Azule Energy advances major oil and gas projects in Angola and is poised to create new avenues for collaboration across the sector.
According to African Press Organization, following the merger of Eni and bp’s Angolan operations in 2022, the companies created Angola’s largest independent equity producer of oil and gas: Azule Energy. With 18 licenses – 11 of which are operated – and a combined portfolio of 210,000 barrels per day (bpd), Azule Energy plays an instrumental role in monetizing the country’s hydrocarbon resources. Descalzi joins bp CEO Murray Auchincloss and Azule Energy CEO Adriano Mongini at the event, and will deliver a keynote speech during the main conference agenda. The participation of three executives signals a strong commitment to Angola’s oil and gas future, reaffirming AOG as the premier meeting place for Angola’s upstream operators.
AOG is the largest oil and gas event in Angola. Taking place with the full support of the Ministry of Mineral Resources, Oil and Gas; the National Oil, Gas and Biofuels Agency; the Petroleum Derivatives Regulatory Institute; national oil company Sonangol; and the African Energy Chamber; the event is a platform to sign deals and advance Angola’s oil and gas industry.
