Hydrocarbon production concessions (Italy)

Distribution of concession areas for the production of hydrocarbons at sea. Hydrocarbon exploration, research and production activities in Italy are governed by Law No. 6 of 11 January 1957, as amended and supplemented; mining rights are granted by Decree of the Ministry of Economic Development. Production concessions are exclusive mining titles, applied for on a portion of the area of the exploration permit where a new deposit has been found, with a maximum extension of 300 km2. In addition to the first term of 20 or 30 years, there are further extension periods of 10 and 5 years. All activities related to the production of hydrocarbons, such as the construction of development wells and gathering and treatment plants, may be carried out under a production concession.
