Eni starts the Ndungu oil field offshore Angola (60 kb/d)

Eni has started up the Ndungu full field in the western area of Block 15/06 offshore Angola (Eni press release, 20/02/2026). The project includes seven production wells and four injection wells that are expected to reach a production peak of 60 kb/d of oil. The project will be integrated to the Agogo Integrated West Hub (IWH) Project through phases, first via the N’goma FPSO and later via Agogo FPSO to ensure the sustained long-term production from Block 15/06 and contribute to Angola’s national output, in line with the country’s strategic petroleum objectives. Once combined, the project (Agogo and Ndungu) is expected to reach a crude oil peak output of approximately 175 kb/d.

Agogo IWH is operated by Azule Energy with a 36.84% stake alongside Sonangol E&P (36.84%) and Sinopec International (26.32%). Azule Energy is a 50/50 joint venture combining BP and Eni’s Angolan businesses in oil and gas since 2022, and it is the second largest oil operator in the country.  

In February 2026 Eni and bp discovered the Algaita-01 exploration well, also in Block 15/06 offshore Angola with an initial estimate of about 500 mbl, representing the company’s fourth significant discovery after the Gajajeira-01 gas find (Angola) and the Volans-1X and Capricornus-1X discoveries (Namibia) (KEI, 17/02/2026).
