San Donato Milanese (Milan), 24 April 2008 - Eni successfully completed drilling and testing operations of well 34/12-1, on the new Afrodite gas/condensate discovery in Norway.

Eni is operator of the project with an equity stake of 45%. Other partners in the project are StatoilHydro (40%) and Idemitsu (15%).
The data from the well and the results of the tests will shortly be analysed in order to determine the size of the discovery, and eventually outline a preliminary development plan.
