Eni SpA (ENI.MI) said Friday that its second-quarter profit fell sharply due in part to a weaker trading environment and the spin off of its former subsidiary Eni Norge.

The Italian oil major said quarterly net profit fell to 424 million euros ($472.3 million) from EUR1.25 billion a year earlier.

Eni attributed the lower earnings to a negative trading environment in almost all of its business units and the deconsolidation of its Norge subsidiary, which was spun off into a joint venture with Norway's Point Resources called Var Energi.

The company also booked a EUR142 million charge on its Sannazzaro refinery after revising its outlook to allow for lower margins.

Hydrocarbon production ticked down to 1.83 million barrels of oil equivalent a day from 1.86 million a year earlier, Eni said.
