Eni Australia is part of Eni S.p.A. (Eni), one of the world’s major integrated energy companies, operating in 61 countries, employing 32,000 people and with its headquarters in Milan, Italy. Eni Energy Bonaparte Pty Ltd (EEB) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Eni S.p.A. and is operated by Eni Australia from Perth, Western Australia (WA).

In Australia, Eni through EEB is an owner in the two retention leases over the undeveloped Petrel gas field (Petrel) offshore WA and the Northern Territory (NT) and is proposing to undertake a development of Petrel. Approximately 100km south of Petrel, Eni operates the producing Blacktip gas field, associated offshore gas infrastructure and the onshore Yelcherr Gas Plant (YGP) which supplies gas to the NT domestic market. Eni also holds two offshore retention leases containing the undeveloped gas discoveries of Verus and Blackwood located around 330km north of Darwin.

Eni owns and operates three large scale solar plants in the Northern Territory (NT) with an installed capacity of about 59MW and owns a minority share in the offshore Bayu-Undan gas and condensate field (in Timor-Leste waters), the Bayu-Undan to Darwin gas pipeline, and the onshore Darwin Liquefied Natural Gas (DLNG) facility, all of which are operated by Santos.  Eni also holds a majority stake in the Permit Production Sharing Contract (PSC) TL 22-23 in offshore Timor-Leste waters which is in the exploration phase.

How is an OPP different to an EP?

The OPP is submitted at the beginning of a project when a company is planning a new offshore petroleum development and provides for the consideration of whole-of-project impacts and risks.

An EP is specifically focused on managing the environmental impacts of a particular offshore activity and multiple accepted EPs may be required to permit the activities that will occur during the lifecycle of the project, from exploration through to, and including, decommissioning.

EPs for petroleum activities, submitted following the OPP process, need to remain consistent with the environmental performance outcomes as they are set out in the OPP. An accepted EP must be in place for any offshore activities associated with the OPP. Activity-specific EP’s can be submitted for assessment only after the OPP has been accepted by NOPSEMA, and activities can only commence once the relevant EP has been accepted.

What is a relevant person?

NOPSEMA identifies a relevant person as follows:
“You may be a relevant person if you or your organisation have functions, interests, or activities that may be affected by an offshore petroleum activity proposed under an environment plan being prepared or already underway under an environment plan being revised.”

The information on this website is provided to assist understanding of the proposed offshore, subsea inspection and provide comments and feedback to relevant persons that may be affected by the activity and identification of additional relevant persons as defined by the OPGGS Environment Regulations.

Feedback should be directly attributable to the proposed activity and area of operation. An approved version of the final EP will be made publicly available on this website.

Further information on relevant persons, consultation and who can participate can be found in the brochure, “Consultation on offshore petroleum environment plans; Information for the community”, NOPSEMA, May 2023.
