Permit Area History
 
The permit is located in northeast Italy, within the Alpine foredeep province.
 
The Nervesa structure was drilled by ENI in 1985 with two wells (Nervesa-1 and Nervesa-1dir A) and proved gas-bearing in at least 13 sand intervals within the Tortonian (5, 6a-d, 7a-e, 8, 9a-b). Of these intervals only one (9a) was completed in Nervesa-1 and put in production between 1989 and 1991.


 
Recent Permit Activity
 
The permit was acquired by Celtique Energie in 2010 and subsequently operated by Apennine.  Apennine acquired Celtique's 50% interest in November 2011.  To date only the Environmental Impact Assessment and G&G data studies have been completed on this permit.
 
The Nervesa field has the potential of five further completions of the remaining 12 sand intervals at 1829 m to 1964 m depth. Gross P50 contingent resources have been estimated by Fugro-Robertson to be 20.7 Bscf*. Apennine’s strategy is to drill two new wells to re-develop the gas field.
