Eni Records  $14.1bn Net Profit, Highest Annual Earnings in Over a Decade

Oil Major Eni (NYSE: E) has reported its highest annual net profit in over a decade, joining other international oil majors in reporting high or record earnings for 2022 on the back of soaring oil and gas prices.

Eni’s adjusted net profit surged to $14.1 billion (13.3 billion euros) for 2022, up by $9.5 billion (9 billion euros) compared to 2021, due to a strong operating performance and higher results of equity-accounted entities, the Italian company said.   

However, the slide in prices in the fourth quarter resulted in fourth-quarter earnings slowing from the previous quarter and in line with analyst forecasts, although they were nearly 50% higher than in Q4 2021. The slowdown in exploration and production in the fourth quarter sent Eni’s shares dipping by 3.6% in Milan mid-day and down by 4% in pre-market trade in New York.

Commenting on Eni’s gas deals last year, chief executive officer Claudio Descalzi said, “During the year, we were able to finalize agreements and activities to fully replace Russian gas by 2025, leveraging our strong relationships with producing states and fast-track development approach to ramp-up volumes from Algeria, Egypt, Mozambique, Congo and Qatar.”

Despite a weaker performance for the fourth quarter, Eni joins the other international majors in reporting bumper annual profits for 2022.

Each of the world’s biggest oil and gas majors reported record profits for 2022 earlier this month, doubling their combined net earnings from 2021 and booking the best-ever year for Big Oil.

Combined, the net profits of Exxon, Chevron, BP, Shell, Equinor, and TotalEnergies surged to $219 billion for 2022, up from around $100 billion booked for 2021, as oil and gas prices surged following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the majors raised oil and gas production to meet growing demand for oil and limited gas supply from Russia to Europe.
