Awarding of both permits was expected in the fourth quarter of 2011. Directly north of the Ponte del Diavolo and Corte dei Signori permits, the Tre Ponti and the Le Saline exploration permit applications are primarily located in the Veneto Region and some of the Emilia-Romagna Region. In December 2010, the Fantozza exploration permit was awarded and published in the Official Bulletin of Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Resources LIV-12. Found in the central Po Valley Basin, the Fantozza concession is a topographically flat area, typical of the Po Valley landscape, again, with exploration targets in the Miocene, Pliocene and Pleistocene turbidites. Deeper targets in the Mesozoic limestone may also be considered. In July 2010, the Molino exploration permit was awarded, adjacent to the Cortemaggiore field, one of the oldest and largest existing fields in the basin, having produced nearly 12 million barrels of oil, 371 Bcf of natural gas and 80,000 barrels of condensate from 1949 to 1992 from several Miocene sands. Northwest of the Corte dei Signori permit area, the Ponte del Diavolo permit was awarded on February 2, 2009. This permit covers an area of with natural gas exploration targets within the Plio-Pleistocene turbiditic sands of the Apennines foredeep. On trend with large existing gas fields, this makes for a very attractive permit area. Acquisition of a new 3-D seismic survey is planned for 2011. In December 2010, the Belgioioso exploration permit covering in the Emilia Romagna Region and Lombardia Region was awarded and published in the Official Bulletin of Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Resources No. LIV-12. Primary targets in Belgioioso block are located in the Miocene, Plio-Pleistocene turbiditic sands of the Apennines foredeep. Related to the final phases of the Apenninic orogeny, the traps can be either structural or mixed. In October 2010, the Bugia exploration permit was awarded and published in the "Official Bulletin of Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Resources" No. LIV – 10. It is anticipated that in the Bugia block the likely hydrocarbon targets will again be located in the Miocene, Plio-Pleistocene turbiditic sands of the Apennines foredeep. Related to the final phases of the Apenninic orogeny, the traps can be either structural or mixed.
