Today, Eni signed a Memorandum of Understanding for Strategic Cooperation with Sinopec Group, one of the largest National Oil Companies (NOC) in the world. The Memorandum sanctions a broad spectrum of possible business opportunities to be jointly evaluated by and to the benefit of both Parties, in China and internationally.
This Memorandum represents a further step forward in Eni’s strategy to strengthen its presence in the Asia Pacific, a very prospective and attractive region in terms of both upstream opportunities and favourable market.
