Enel and Gazprom agreed earlier this month to secure further gas supply to Italy.
The chief executives of the two companies have met to discuss ways of getting more gas to Italy, Enel said in a statement.
Enel has been looking to expand abroad and was considering a bid for France’s Suez SA earlier this year but was blocked when Suez and Gaz De France decided to merge in response.
The EU is to rule on the Seuz-GDF merger later this month.
