It was a great honor to present at the #SPE Europe Energy Conference in #Turin. In this work, in collaboration with Eduardo Luna-Ortiz, PhD and Nicholas Flynn we presented the results of our case studies of simulating the process of transport and injection of #CO2 in #CCS applications. We pointed out how an integrated modelling including surface and subsurface facilities is key to understad the true physical constraints of the asset and identify risks and opportunities for decision-making in design and operations. With our software #Maximus, powered by the advanced #thermodynamics and transport properties modelling of #Multiflash, we can achieve this in a unified environment.

𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝘀: 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝘃𝘀. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 In recent days, one of the most discussed topics in #Italy has been the potential agreement under negotiation between the Italian government and Elon Musk’s SpaceX, aimed at providing telecommunication and cybersecurity services via #Starlink. We await further updates as the Italian government denies the talks. What strikes me about this situation, and what is partially discussed in the article, are three key points. 1) #Telecommunication and #cybersecurity are national security issues, just like #energy, #defense, and the #agrifood supply chains. Despite the fact that the #EU has existed for many years, we are still far from achieving a true union of intent on such crucial issues. In a world that is seeking new geopolitical balances between the US and the BRICS countries, Italy, along with other European nations, cannot afford to act alone on such strategic matters. If a deal is struck between the Italian government and SpaceX, it raises questions and concerns about the European initiative #IRIS, which was expected to launch by the end of the 2020s and in which Italy, theoretically, should play a pivotal role. 2) The EU has again been slow to act on a strategic issue such as telecommunications and cybersecurity. Private initiatives by #Musk with #SpaceX and #Bezos with #Kuiper - commercial ventures already up and running - highlight this delay. Once again, Europe finds itself playing catch-up. 3) The weakness of European institutions is once again evident. If #Meloni can engage in discussions on such a crucial security issue with the tycoon #Trump alone, seeking to establish a privileged channel with the U.S. while capitalizing on the fact that her French and German counterparts are preoccupied with domestic challenges, then we are left with a significant question mark regarding the functioning of European institutions. Should we consider a change? Perhaps it is time for national governments to cede some of their sovereignty on these issues in order to strengthen the European Union's role as an institution? In this context, long-term planning at the European level is, of course, more challenging. The European Union risks becoming a patchwork of states, subject to the whims of other superpowers and driven by short-term needs, without a clear long-term strategy on critical issues. With the war in #Ukraine now entrenched and the ongoing #energy and #gas crises, we’ve already witnessed this firsthand, and this serves as another reminder. If Europe wants to play a leading role on the global stage, its institutions must be strengthened. It’s time to move beyond national interests and look to the future together as #Europe. Otherwise, we must acknowledge that, on our own, we risk becoming small satellite states, subordinated to the will and ambitions of the great powers.

Eni, Italy’s leading energy company, continues to strengthen its position in Africa’s oil and gas sector by launching the second phase of development at the Baleine field off the Ivory Coast. This project marks a significant milestone in Eni’s West African expansion strategy, consolidating its role as a key player in traditional and renewable energy on the continent. The Phase 2 development will increase Baleine’s production to 60,000 barrels of oil per day and 70 million cubic feet of associated gas, equivalent to 2 million cubic meters. All natural gas produced will meet local energy demand through infrastructure established during Phase 1, including a dedicated pipeline. This phase relies on the Petrojarl Kong floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) unit, supported by the Yamoussoukro floating storage and offloading unit, to export oil and process gas locally. These operations enhance the project’s economic impact on the Ivory Coast. Phase 1, launched less than two years after the field’s discovery, achieved an initial production of 15,000 barrels of oil per day and 25 million cubic feet of associated gas. Eni is already planning Phase 3, which could further increase production to 150,000 barrels of oil per day and 200 million cubic feet of associated gas. This expansion would solidify the Ivory Coast as a regional energy hub and strengthen Eni’s strategic partnership with the local government. In November 2024, Eni signed agreements with the Ministry of Mines, Petroleum, and Energy to acquire four new exploration blocks off the Ivory Coast’s coast. These blocks, near the Calao discovery, offer significant potential for creating additional synergies and consolidating Eni’s regional presence. Eni’s strategy in Africa extends beyond the Ivory Coast. The company has expanded its offshore footprint in recent years, targeting key fields to diversify global energy supplies. This expansion meets traditional energy needs while paving the way for future investments in renewables, aligning with global energy transition goals. Africa’s abundant natural resources and commitment to sustainable development position the continent as a critical pillar of future energy systems, both traditional and renewable. The Baleine field symbolizes Eni’s energy transformation, combining technological innovation with strategic collaboration with local partners. By expanding its presence and developing projects like Baleine, Eni cements its leadership in Africa’s energy landscape, contributing to regional economic growth and global sustainability objectives. With its immense potential, Africa is set to become a central player in the global energy map, and Eni is charting the course.

This past week Tenaris senior leaders worldwide heard from Yves Morieux, a senior advisor at the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and creator of Smart Simplicity®, a new approach to the management of complexity for competitive advantage. Morieux spoke to our people about the importance of establishing clear and shared goals and how this alignment can provide focus for organizations like ours. By fostering collaboration and ensuring all teams are working towards common objectives, he showed how we can significantly improve effectiveness as well as our company’s results. Here are a few take-aways from that conversation: + What matters most for performance is not the quality of our intentions but shaping the context, so people adjust their behaviors. This is the leaders’ role. + Goal alignment is not mechanical: it’s structured, factual conversations to ensure important tradeoffs. + It’s not only about goal setting but also monitoring our progress and implementing course correction, as necessary. I hope this conversation proves helpful to reflect on as we start to set our goals for the upcoming budget year. #TenarisAroundTheWorld #LearnDevelopGrow #leadership
