'''Eni S.p.A.''' ({{nyse|E}}, {{ISE|IT0003132476|ENI}}) is an [[Italy|Italian]] multinational [[petroleum|oil]] and [[natural gas|gas]] company, with a presence in 70 countries, currently Italy's largest industrial company, with a [[market capitalization]] of € 100 [[1000000000 (number)|billion]] [[euro]]s ([[United States dollar|US $]]160 billion) as of April 2007. It was recently privatized, the first 14.7 percent being sold to the public for $4.1 billion in 1995.
== History ==
Eni was founded on February 10, 1953 by the Italian government to promote and develop a national energy strategy based on the concentration of all the activities in the energy sector into one group. The name derives from the initials of the company's original full title '''Ente Nazionale Idrocarburi''', but is no longer used as an acronym. Eni was led for many years by [[Enrico Mattei]]. Eni also owns the ''[[Agenzia Giornalistica Italia]]'' (AGI), one of the main Italian news agencies. In the 1980s, Eni employee [[Ottavio Quattrocchi]] was named as a key player in the [[Indian army]] [[howitzer]] purchase bribery case, the [[Bofors scandal]]. Eni became a joint-stock corporation in 1992 as part of a government directed [[privatization]] program, and shares were listed on the [[Borsa Italiana]] and [[New York Stock Exchange]] in 1995. In 2002, Eni acquired full control of Italgas, Italy's leading gas distributor. During 2003, Eni purchased 50% of the gas operations of Spain's [[Unión Fenosa]]. During 2008, ENI purchased Distrigaz, the leading gas distributor in Belgium.
==Operations==
Eni's businesses include:
*[[Gasoline]] and [[diesel]] (mostly under the [[Agip]] brand)
*Natural gas (mostly under the Italgas brand)
*Electricity generation (Enipower)
*Engineering and construction ([[Snamprogetti]] and [[Saipem]]) - Eni currently owns approximately 43% of Saipem.
*[[Petrochemical]] business (Polimeri Europa)
*Financial Services (Sofid)
*Offshore Engineering (Tecnomare)
Its activities include exploration, extraction, refining and marketing fuels and energy; the company had sales of 77.0 billion Euro in 2005.

With its refining capacity of {{convert|933000|oilbbl/d|m3/d}}, Eni is Europe's third largest refiner. Its crude oil production comes primarily from [[Libya]] (see [[Bouri Field]]), [[Egypt]], [[Nigeria]], the Congo, the North Sea, and [[Angola]], with smaller amounts of crude oil production in [[Tunisia]] and in the United States. Eni's China production began in 1992, although it currently amounts to only 1 percent of Eni's total crude oil production.
