Italy’s Eni expects to raise over €7 billion ($9.2 billion) from the government-enforced sale of its 53% stake in midstream infrastructure company Snam, and a further €3.5 billion from the sale of its 33.34% stake in Portuguese energy company Galp. Both transactions could be complete before 2014 and Eni will use the proceeds to bolster its upstream investment in frontier areas such as Mozambique, the company said at its 2012-2015 strategy presentation last week.
