Correct spelling, explanation: opening is a gerund/present participle form of the verb open. As you can see, there’s no extra consonant in the basic word. Even if we wanted to double a consonant due to the rule that when there’s a single vowel before the last (and stressed as well) consonant in a word, we need to double that consonant, it should’ve been -n letter (but it’s not stressed, so this rule doesn’t apply here). The only correct version of this word is opening, not oppening.
Definition of opening:

Incorrect spelling, explanation: when we make a derivative of a word, we should always consider how its basic form is structured. In this case, it is the verb open. As we can easily see, there is no double consonant in it. That is why oppening is just a plain mistake, and the correct spelling is opening.
