Po Valley Energy (ASX:PVE) is pleased to announce that the Ministry of
Economic Development has officially notified the award of the
preliminarily production concession for the Sant’Alberto gas field
(north of Bologna).
The Company will now submit the Environmental Impact Assessment to the
Emilia Romagna Region, the last step towards the full grant of the
production concession.
As previously reported in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report, the
estimated contingent resources for this gas field are as follows:
Contingent Resource Category * |
Contingent Resource Estimate - (Bcf)
(100% interest) |

“The long awaited preliminary award of the Production Concession marks
the achievement of an important regulatory hurdle in the process toward
our fourth producing gas field. Planned development for the Sant’Alberto
field envisions a small modular plant and a simple connection to the
national grid which is some 200 meters away.” said Sara Edmonson, Po
Valley’s Acting CEO.
* Evaluation date 13 December 2013. The deterministic method was used to prepare the estimates of contingent resources.
