This is the same oil company that intends drilling the first exploratory well off Aljezur's coastline in the Alentejo Basin from 1 July 2016. Do we really want them here? You decide ... here's the latest news from their operations in Norway! http://asmaa-algarve.org/en/campaigns/nem-um-furo/industry-related-information/april-2016-eni-s-goliat-field-in-norway-hit-by-gas-leak Credit rating agency Moody’s has downgraded the Italian oilfield services provider Saipem from the provisional Baa3 long-term issuer rating, into a definitive Ba1 Corporate Family Rating (CFR) with a stable outlook. Saipem is the ENI company that owns the Saipem 12000 that will be used to drill the exploratory well in the Aljezur area in the Alentejo Offshore Basin. Meaning that as we have indicated previously - the work will go to international contractors. http://asmaa-algarve.org/en/campaigns/nem-um-furo/industry-related-information/moody-s-downgrades-saipem-the-company-that-owns-the-drill-ship-expected-in-aljezur-s-offshore Saipem, an Italy-based contractor, that is in the ENI stable and is the contractor that will be used in July 2016 if opposition fails to stop proposed offshore drilling in the Aljezur costal area in the Alentejo Basin deep offshore, is being investigated over a potential involvement in bribery case in Brazil. http://asmaa-algarve.org/en/campaigns/nem-um-furo/industry-related-information/august-2015-saipem-under-investigation-over-bribery-in-brazil Italian oil company Eni has reported a net loss of €952 million ($1.04B) in the third quarter of 2015, compared to a profit of €1.7 billion ($1.86B) in the same period last year. Eni’s adjusted net loss was €257 million ($281.8M), compared to a profit of €1.2 billion ($1.3B) in the same period last year. … In the Exploration & Production segment, Eni says management will carry out efficiency initiatives relating to operating costs and optimize investments, while retaining a strong focus on project execution and time-to-market delivery in order to cope with the negative impact of a lower oil price environment. Guess that the Aljezur project is seen as a potential cash cow? http://asmaa-algarve.org/en/campaigns/nem-um-furo/industry-related-information/eni-shows-losses-in-3q-2015-hikes-output-forecast October 2015, investors have taken legal action against Saipem, an Italy-based oilfield services provider to the international offshore oil and gas industry. http://asmaa-algarve.org/en/campaigns/nem-um-furo/industry-related-information/2015-investors-take-saipem-to-court It’s all for now, we’ve given you some food for though when you write your objection letterJ have a nice weekend E tudo agora, votos de um bom fim de semana.
