Italian-focused upstream firm Sound Oil is set to begin operations in the San Lorenzo Production Concession following an approval by the country’s government.
The licence in the Marche Region, onshore Eastern Italy, includes the Casa Tiberi gas field discovered in 2011 with a single well drilled to a depth of 571-581 metres.
The well tested dry gas at 1.3million standard cubic feet per day and the firm is looking to achieve first commercial gas during the first half of 2014.
“We are pleased to report continued operational progress in Italy,” said James Parsons, Sound Oil’s chief executive.
“Whilst Casa Tiberi is one of our smaller assets it will add to Sound Oil’s near term production and revenue. Operations on site are expected to commence in April, once construction of the production skid is complete.”
