Oil and gas marine zones (Italy)

Distribution of marine zones open to hydrocarbon exploration and production at sea in Italy Mining rights for the exploration and production of hydrocarbons at sea are granted by the Ministry of Economic Development in areas of the Italian continental shelf established by laws and ministerial decrees, called 'Marine Zones' and identified with letters of the alphabet. To date, Zones A, B, C, D and E have been opened by Law No. 613 of 21 July 1967, and Zones F and G by ministerial decree.
