** Aggiornamento: Secondo la carta del ministero la concessione e' interamente in Molise ma secondo il comunicato della Sound Oil e' in provincia di Chieti e Campobasso. Se e' il comunicato ad essere sbagliato, i nostri petrolieri dimostrano ancora una volta di non avere la minima conoscenza del territorio dove vanno ad operare. **
Purtroppo sono in partenza e non ho tanto tempo per indgare di piu. Si tratta di una ditta sconosciuta, la Sound Oil, che vuole trivellare nel Vastese e in Molise, localita' Colle Ginestra.
Il testo e' qui: e me l'ha mandato stamattina un lettore di questo blog, che ringrazio della cortesia e che si firma Persefone. Spero che qualcuno voglia indagare meglio di che si tratta.
Penso che siano andati a chiedere i permessi in Molise, visto che qui siamo tutti all'erta. Non e' la prima volta che vanno da loro.
Parlano di estrazioni di gas e di petrolio, tutti contenti.
La domanda vera pero' e': dov'e' la provincia di Chieti in tutto questo? Dov'e' Gianni Chiodi? Perche' non si lamentano con Roma che le concessioni che riguardano l'Abruzzo e il suo mare DEVONO essere note anche da noi?
Dove sono gli assessori al turismo, Remo di Martino e quello all'ambiente, Eugenio Caporrella? Che ne pensano di queste trivelle? Dov'e' il sindaco di Vasto? Dov'e' quello di San Salvo?
Possibile che debba essere Persefone ad accorgersene e io da oltre oceeano a diffondere queste notizie?
Di nuovo, non e' il mio mare che trivellano, e' il vostro.

Sound Oil PLC
("Sound Oil" or "the Company")
Award of New Exploration Licence in Italy
Sound Oil plc(AIM: SOU), the upstream oil and gas company with assets in
Indonesia and Italy, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a new
exploration licence in Italy, bringing the total number of its active permits
in the country to 8. In addition, the Company holds 1 concession, 7 preliminary
awards and one exclusive application. Of this total Sound operates 14 of the
projects.
The new award was announced by the Ministry for Economic Development in Rome
and made jointly to Sound's subsidiary Apennine Energy Srl (50%) and its
partner Compania Generali Idrocarburi (50%, operator). The permit is awarded
for a five year period with an effective start date of 16 December 2010. There
is no immediate capital expenditure planned on the licence.
The Colle Ginestre licence is located in Campobasso (Molise) and Chieti
(Abruzzo) on the Adriatic coast of central Italy. The new permit lies in the
Southern Apennines fairway for shallower gas and deeper oil and adjacent to the
Cupello-San Salvo field which has produced over 330 Bscf from the Pliocene
play. A number of wells have been drilled on the permit previously, including
Colle Turchese-1dir (by ENI in 1988) which encountered gas shows on the flank
of a structure characterised by an encouraging flat spot on seismic data, which
may indicate a gas accumulation.
Separately, the Company has noted the recent rise in its share price and knows
of no particular reason for this. The Company is on track with its planned
work programme in Italy announced in December 2010 and to this end the Company
has selected a preferred bidder from the tender process and is currently
negotiating a rig contract for a work-over well on the Company's Marciano
concession in Italy. Application will be made to the ministry for the work
permit and a further announcement will be made in due course.
Gerry Orbell, Chairman and Chief Executive of Sound Oil plc, commented:
"Sound Oil is very pleased to have been awarded the new licence onshore Italy,
one of our core areas in which we have built an extensive portfolio, experience
and knowledge. The new licence contains some attractive new prospects and leads
in close proximity to existing discoveries in a very prolific gas province.
