What is Eni seeking to do with its floating LNG (FLNG) assets, and which financial firms are involved in the discussions?

Eni has engaged Morgan Stanley to help raise funds from investment firms—including Apollo, KKR, and Stonepeak—through a potential deal backed by its floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) assets; the discussions are at an early stage, and no deal is certain.

How much capital does Eni expect to generate from this potential FLNG-related transaction, and how does it fit into the company’s broader financial strategy?

Any potential transaction is expected to generate at least one billion euros for Eni, aligning with its broader strategy of tapping infrastructure funds to free up capital for new projects; under one proposal, an infrastructure fund would inject cash into a special purpose vehicle entitled to payments from the FLNG assets.
