The oil companies BP and ENI created new oil and gas company dubbed Azule Energy as a result of the agreement signed last Friday, in Luanda, with the aim to gather both companies’ businesses.
The signing of the agreement was made by the BP executive vice-president Gordon Biren and the ENI Upstream director Guído Brusco.
Azule Energy will be an international energy company to be managed independently with a production estimated in 200,000 barrels daily of oil and gas of net production.
However, it is expected the Azule Energy to be the greatest producer of oil and gas in Angola with assets in 16 concessions as well as in LNG Angola.
It will have a strong set of new projects to start in the next years including the production of Agogo and PAJ oil in the blocks 6, 15 and 31.
The new oil company for the first time will produce in Angola non-associated gas that will contribute for the satisfaction of the Angolan market needs.
