Italian
Upstream Oil
Market:
challenges and
opportunities

1

Background


The energy sector plays a fundamental role in the growth of
the national economy – in particular it works as:








driver of the national growth: competiveness of the energy market
(e.g. from pricing/offer/costs point of view) is a key factor for the
development of national macro-economic system
Interesting market: investors, sponsors and banks look at the Italian
energy market as “high potential” market, especially in relation to
the green economy and gas industry

For this purpose, the Italian government approved the
National Energy Strategy (NES) in March 2013, a paper which
sets out clearly the main goals and the top priorities of action
to be pursued in the coming years to support the grouth of the
Italian economic system and the energy market
This brief presentation explains the opportunities and
challenges set out by NES in relation to the oil & gas upstream
market in Italy
3

Upstream in Italy?






Italy is heavily dependent on fossil fuel
imports, with a negative energy trade
balance of €62 billion (Ministry of Economic
Development (MED) data)
However, according to MED, Italy has
significant oil and gas reserves, i.e.: the largest
in Europe after the Nordic countries
Development of the hydrocarbon industry is
one of the goal/top priorities of NES
4

Oil & gas upstream in Italy
•

According to Nes:
•

•

•

In Italy there are potential
resources amounting to 700
MTOE of hydrocarbons
If we exclude the Nordic
countries, with their significant
off-shore reserves, Italy’s
proven reserves are the most
significant of continental
Europe.
Res5 areas in Italy offer a high
development potential: the
Po Valley, the Upper Adriatic,
the Abruzzo Region, Basilicata
and the Strait of Sicily.

According to Nes:
•

•

•

In Italy there are potential
resources amounting to 700
MTOE of hydrocarbons
If we exclude the Nordic
countries, with their significant
off-shore reserves, Italy’s
proven reserves are the most
significant of continental
Europe.
Reserves are concentrated in
5 areas of Italy, i.e. the Po
Valley, the Upper Adriatic,
the Abruzzo Region,
Basilicata and the Strait of
Sicily.
5

2020 goals for the
upstream(according to NES)
NES provides for the following goals to be
achievied within 2020:
 Increase production by about 24 million
boe/year for gas and 57 boe/year for oil
increasing offer in the market from ~7% to
~14%
 Attract new investments of about €15 billion
 25,000 new jobs
 annual saving in energy expenditure of about
€5 billion (arising of reduction in imports)
6

Road map to achieve the
2020 goals (according to NES)
1. Approving a new legal framework:
 To develop offshore upstream projects ensuring at the same time the
safeguard of environment (in line with European Directives on the
matter)
 To simplify the administrative procedures and make them easier and
faster in line with European standards (e.g. by adopting a single
authorization model in connection with exploration and production
activity)
 To better sustain local content strategies - part of the increased
revenues from extracting hydrocarbons will be used to develop
infrastructures and employment growth projects in the areas where
the production plants are established and in neighboring Regions
 To provide new measures to increase, develop and improve
production of natural gas
2. Supporting the industry on local basis: improvement of Italian
technological/industrial energy industry, e.g. developing infrastructure and services and
creating synergies with territories
7

Next?





In Italy, there are important upstream projects
under development
The list of the oil & gas projects authorised is
included also at:
http://unmig.sviluppoeconomico.gov.it/home

Let’s see how the strategies set out in NES will
be implemented to better support the
business and if the 2020 goals for the
upstream will be achieved… I’LL KEEP YOU
UPDATED!!

The oil & gas upstream market in Italy - A quick outlook of opportunities and challenges

  • 1. A workshop of Annamaria Pinzuti Senior Associate – Ashurst LLP Italian Upstream Oil Market: challenges and opportunities 1
  • 2. 2 Background  The energy sector plays a fundamental role in the growth of the national economy – in particular it works as:     driver of the national growth: competiveness of the energy market (e.g. from pricing/offer/costs point of view) is a key factor for the development of national macro-economic system Interesting market: investors, sponsors and banks look at the Italian energy market as “high potential” market, especially in relation to the green economy and gas industry For this purpose, the Italian government approved the National Energy Strategy (NES) in March 2013, a paper which sets out clearly the main goals and the top priorities of action to be pursued in the coming years to support the grouth of the Italian economic system and the energy market This brief presentation explains the opportunities and challenges set out by NES in relation to the oil & gas upstream market in Italy
  • 3. 3 Upstream in Italy?    Italy is heavily dependent on fossil fuel imports, with a negative energy trade balance of €62 billion (Ministry of Economic Development (MED) data) However, according to MED, Italy has significant oil and gas reserves, i.e.: the largest in Europe after the Nordic countries Development of the hydrocarbon industry is one of the goal/top priorities of NES
  • 4. 4 Oil & gas upstream in Italy • According to Nes: • • • In Italy there are potential resources amounting to 700 MTOE of hydrocarbons If we exclude the Nordic countries, with their significant off-shore reserves, Italy’s proven reserves are the most significant of continental Europe. Res5 areas in Italy offer a high development potential: the Po Valley, the Upper Adriatic, the Abruzzo Region, Basilicata and the Strait of Sicily. • According to Nes: • • • In Italy there are potential resources amounting to 700 MTOE of hydrocarbons If we exclude the Nordic countries, with their significant off-shore reserves, Italy’s proven reserves are the most significant of continental Europe. Reserves are concentrated in 5 areas of Italy, i.e. the Po Valley, the Upper Adriatic, the Abruzzo Region, Basilicata and the Strait of Sicily.
  • 5. 5 2020 goals for the upstream(according to NES) NES provides for the following goals to be achievied within 2020:  Increase production by about 24 million boe/year for gas and 57 boe/year for oil increasing offer in the market from ~7% to ~14%  Attract new investments of about €15 billion  25,000 new jobs  annual saving in energy expenditure of about €5 billion (arising of reduction in imports)
  • 6. 6 Road map to achieve the 2020 goals (according to NES) 1. Approving a new legal framework:  To develop offshore upstream projects ensuring at the same time the safeguard of environment (in line with European Directives on the matter)  To simplify the administrative procedures and make them easier and faster in line with European standards (e.g. by adopting a single authorization model in connection with exploration and production activity)  To better sustain local content strategies - part of the increased revenues from extracting hydrocarbons will be used to develop infrastructures and employment growth projects in the areas where the production plants are established and in neighboring Regions  To provide new measures to increase, develop and improve production of natural gas 2. Supporting the industry on local basis: improvement of Italian technological/industrial energy industry, e.g. developing infrastructure and services and creating synergies with territories
  • 7. 7 Next?    In Italy, there are important upstream projects under development The list of the oil & gas projects authorised is included also at: http://unmig.sviluppoeconomico.gov.it/home .asp Let’s see how the strategies set out in NES will be implemented to better support the business and if the 2020 goals for the upstream will be achieved… I’LL KEEP YOU UPDATED!!
