Eni and partners approve new development phase for Ivory Coast project

Eni and partners Petroci and Vitol approved the final investment decision for the third phase of the Baleine project in Ivory Coast, advancing development of the country's largest hydrocarbon discovery. The announcement signals continued capital deployment in a major upstream oil project and is modestly positive for Eni's execution outlook. Market impact is likely limited to the company and related energy assets rather than broader markets.
