  • <\/i><\/div>
    GEO submitted applications for 4 permits in the southern Adriatic in Q3 2013.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
  • <\/i><\/div>
    Blocks are contiguous with Cabot Energy\u2019s applications\/blocks to the south and adjacent to the median lines with Albania, Croatia and Montenegro. Multiple play types for oil and gas.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
  • <\/i><\/div>
    Multiple play types for oil and gas.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
  • <\/i><\/div>
    Proven hydrocarbon basin: Aquila field; Giove, Medusa, Falco & Rovesti discoveries.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
  • <\/i><\/div>
    Appeals were lodged by various interested bodies against the Environmental Decrees granted for the 4 applications in 2016 and 2017. Most of the appeals were rejected with the exception of 1, which was referred to the European Court.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
  • <\/i><\/div>
    In January 2022, the European Court found, in effect, that the Company\u2019s four Permit Applications do not contravene EU law. However, the Court makes that finding subject to two conditions: first, such a grant must be capable of ensuring the best possible exercise of the exploration activity concerned, from both a technical and economic point of view, and the achievement of the objectives pursued by Directive 94\/22. Second, in the context of the environmental impact assessment, the national legislation must take into account the cumulative effect of projects likely to have significant effects on the environment, presented by that operator in its applications for hydrocarbon exploration permits. Accordingly, GEO intends to consult with its advisers regarding the best way forward.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
  • <\/i><\/div>
    A moratorium on hydrocarbon exploration activities in Italy expired in the latter part of 2021. GEO is advised that the Commission appointed by the Government in parallel with the moratorium has completed its deliberations and that the Hydrocarbon Plan for future exploration and development (known as PITESAI) will be published shortly.<\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul>
