PETRONAS, Italy's Eni ink JV framework to explore regional upstream collaboration
The agreement builds on a memorandum of understanding inked in December 2024.
In a statement today, Petronas said that the JVFA reflects both companies' shared commitment to combine selected upstream interests in Malaysia and Indonesia.
The national oil and gas company also said that the agreement is expected to deliver up to 500,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day of sustainable production, with approximately three billion barrels of developed reserves and an estimated 10 billion barrels of exploration potential.
"Definitive agreements are targeted for completion by end-2025, subject to regulatory, governmental, and partner approvals,' it said.
In another statement, Petronas CCS Ventures Sdn Bhd (PCCSV), MISC Bhd (MISC), and Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd (MOL) have announced the incorporation of a strategic JV company, Jules Nautica Sdn Bhd.
PCCSV is a wholly owned subsidiary of Petronas.
This JV will lead the development and act as the ultimate owner of liquefied carbon dioxide (LCO2) carriers, which are critical for transporting LCO2 to designated storage sites as part of advancing carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions.
Petronas said that the JV aims to become a leading owner of LCO2 carriers, facilitating the safe and efficient transportation of LCO2 to designated carbon dioxide (CO2) storage sites.
"Focused on supporting future CCS projects across the Asia Pacific region, the JV will also play a key role in completing the CCS value chain.
"Through strategic commercial agreements with CO2-emitting industries and storage companies, this partnership will provide a critical cross-border solution to meet growing environmental and regulatory needs,' said Petronas. - Bernama

Google partners with Italy's Energy Dome on zero-emission power supply

REUTERS/Arnd Wiegmann/File Photo/File Photo MILAN (Reuters) -Italian energy storage firm Energy Dome said on Friday it had entered a commercial partnership with Google to supply carbon-free energy to the grids that power the operations of the U.S. tech giant. As part of the agreement, Google has made a strategic investment in Milan-based Energy Dome, which has developed a CO2 battery technology to support the energy transition through long-duration energy storage solutions, the companies said in a joint statement. They did not disclose the financial details. Google joins other investors in the Italian energy storage firm such as Oman's sovereign wealth fund and global tank storage operator Vopak. Google's first commercial long-duration energy storage deal is part of a growing number of advanced energy technologies the group needs to hit a goal to run its operations on 24/7 carbon-free energy by 2030. Energy Dome's CO2-based system stores energy by compressing and liquefying carbon dioxide, which is later expanded to generate electricity. The technology avoids the use of scarce raw materials such as lithium and copper, making it potentially attractive to European policymakers seeking to reduce reliance on critical minerals and bolster energy security. Energy Dome launched its first commercial-scale plant in Sardinia in 2022 with a view to completing it by the end of 2024, with a 24-hour cycle and a 20-megawatt capacity able to power 13,000-15,000 houses.

Italy's Eni reports 25pct drop in second-quarter profit, cuts debt
MILAN: Italian energy group Eni said on Friday its second-quarter earnings fell 25 per cent year-on-year as lower oil prices and a weaker US dollar overshadowed a better-than-expected performance at its gas business. Adjusted net profit came in at €1.13 billion (US$1.33 billion) between April and June, down from €1.52 billion in the same period last year, but above an analyst consensus of €0.93 billion compiled by the company. Despite an adverse economic backdrop, the state-controlled group was able to cut its leverage before lease liabilities – a measure of total debt in relation to equity – to 19 per cent from 22 per cent in the same period last year. Including the proceeds expected from recent asset sales, its pro-forma leverage dropped to a historical low of 10 per cent. The group increased its annual cash benefit target – or cost-saving goal – to €3 billion from €2 billion previously, after putting in place mitigation measures for more than €1 billion in the months between April and June. "We believe our strong financial position, unique and differentiated strategy and ability to be flexible and agile, mean we are well positioned to navigate the current market volatility," said Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi in a statement, adding the group will continue to reward investors. The state-controlled group stuck to its €1.5 billion share buyback plan and dividend policy. It raised its expectation for underlying cash flow from operations (CFFO) in the full year to around €11.5 billion from €11 billion. It also improved its expectations for its gas and LNG division for this year and confirmed its outlook for its low-carbon units Enilive and Plenitude.
