The Company has interests in 19 licences (7 pending full award and 2 pending appeal) in Italy through its wholly-owned subsidiary Apennine Energy srl, most of which are operated. Licence details are as follows:
Notes:
1 A Concession allows hydrocarbon production and is valid for thirty years. A Permit is valid for six years and allows seismic and drilling operations. An Assigned Permit requires an approved Environmental Impact Assessment to convert to a full permit.
2 In August 2011 the Ministry of Economic Development in Italy withdrew Apennine Energy's Assigned Permits D148 DR-CS and D150 DR-CS from the application process to full permit status. This is in compliance with the environmental decree 128/1210 enacted in June 2010 which prevents oil and gas activity within 5 nautical miles of the Italian coast. Apennine is considering appealing against this decision through the relevant authority..
