LONDON, June 18 -- ENI SPA has published its first worldwide statistical review of oil and gas production, reserves consumption, exports, and imports to help meet what it believes to be a rising public demand for information on industry issues.
ENI aims for the annual review, which covers data related to more than 140 countries, to become "an authoritative reference for specific data and information on the oil and gas market," said CEO Vittorio Mincato, launching the World Oil & Gas Review.
He said, "ENI wants to make available to a large international public what it considers to be a new and reliable tool of information in the conviction that it is the duty of a large company, operating worldwide, to contribute to the development of a culture related to the key sectors of its activity."
Mincato stressed that the review would be easy for people without a technical background to read and "supply an accurate and updated frame of reference to the general public and to the industry's operators."
The ENI publication includes tabulated information covering a 15-year period on oil and gas production, reserves, reserves-to-production ratios, consumption, production-to-consumption ratios, exports, and imports, with all data grouped in "clusters" referring to a single country, to wider geographic areas, and "on the basis of a country's economic situation or their membership to international organizations."
The review also reports international gas trading data regarding gas pipeline networks and liquefied natural gas.
