AleAnna, Inc. Announces Receipt of Regional Approval for its Gradizza Field Development Project
AleAnna (NASDAQ:ANNA) has received regional approval (Intesa) from Italy's Emilia-Romagna Region for its Gradizza Field Development Project. This marks the final step before obtaining a Production Concession from the Ministry of Environment and Energy Security (MISE), which will allow construction to begin.
The Gradizza Field, located in Northern Italy's Ferrara Province, represents AleAnna's first fully-owned and operated development. The field contains net Proved reserves of 0.4 Bcf, Probable reserves of 0.8 Bcf, and Possible reserves of 5.6 Bcf. Once the Production Concession is granted, the field is expected to be operational within 12-18 months.
The development will feature a single well and small-footprint processing facility, utilizing high permeability turbidite reservoirs similar to AleAnna's Longanesi field. This project aligns with the company's strategy to strengthen Italy's energy security and support Europe's transition to sustainable energy.
AleAnna (NASDAQ:ANNA) ha ricevuto l'approvazione regionale (Intesa) dalla Regione Emilia-Romagna per il progetto di sviluppo del giacimento di Gradizza. Si tratta dell'ultimo passaggio prima di ottenere la Concessione di Produzione dal Ministero dell'Ambiente e della Sicurezza Energetica (MISE), che permetterà di avviare la costruzione.
Il giacimento di Gradizza, situato nella provincia di Ferrara nel Nord Italia, rappresenta il primo sviluppo interamente di proprietà e gestito da AleAnna. Il giacimento contiene riserve nette accertate (Proved) di 0,4 Bcf, riserve probabili di 0,8 Bcf e riserve possibili di 5,6 Bcf. Una volta concessa la Concessione di Produzione, il campo dovrebbe entrare in operazione entro 12-18 mesi.
Lo sviluppo prevede un unico pozzo e un impianto di trattamento a basso impatto, sfruttando serbatoi turbiditici ad alta permeabilità simili a quelli del giacimento Longanesi. Il progetto è coerente con la strategia della società di rafforzare la sicurezza energetica dell'Italia e sostenere la transizione dell'Europa verso un'energia più sostenibile.
AleAnna (NASDAQ:ANNA) ha obtenido la aprobación regional (Intesa) de la Región de Emilia-Romaña para su proyecto de desarrollo del yacimiento de Gradizza. Este es el último paso antes de recibir la Concesión de Producción del Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Seguridad Energética (MISE), que permitirá iniciar las obras de construcción.
El yacimiento de Gradizza, situado en la provincia de Ferrara, en el norte de Italia, es el primer desarrollo de AleAnna totalmente de su propiedad y operado por la compañía. El yacimiento contiene reservas netas probadas (Proved) de 0,4 Bcf, reservas probables de 0,8 Bcf y reservas posibles de 5,6 Bcf. Una vez otorgada la Concesión de Producción, se espera que el yacimiento esté operativo en 12-18 meses.
El proyecto contempla un único pozo y una planta de procesamiento de pequeña huella, aprovechando reservorios turbidíticos de alta permeabilidad similares a los del yacimiento Longanesi. El desarrollo se alinea con la estrategia de la empresa para reforzar la seguridad energética de Italia y apoyar la transición de Europa hacia una energía más sostenible.
AleAnna (NASDAQ:ANNA)가 이탈리아 에밀리아-로마냐주로부터 그라디짜(Gradizza) 유전 개발 프로젝트에 대한 지역 승인(Intesa)을 받았습니다. 이는 환경·에너지안보부(MISE)로부터 생산 허가(Production Concession)를 받기 전의 최종 단계로, 허가가 나오면 건설을 시작할 수 있습니다.
그라디짜 유전은 이탈리아 북부 페라라(Ferrara) 주에 위치하며, AleAnna가 전적으로 소유·운영하는 첫 개발 프로젝트입니다. 이 유전은 순확정 매장량(Pr oved) 0.4 Bcf, 확률적 매장량(Probable) 0.8 Bcf, 가능 매장량(Possible) 5.6 Bcf을 보유하고 있습니다. 생산 허가가 승인되면 유전은 12-18개월 내에 가동될 것으로 예상됩니다.
개발 계획은 단일 유정과 소규모 처리시설을 포함하며, Longanesi 유전과 유사한 고투과성 터비다이트 저류층을 활용합니다. 이 프로젝트는 이탈리아의 에너지 안보를 강화하고 유럽의 지속가능한 에너지 전환을 지원하려는 회사의 전략과 일치합니다.
AleAnna (NASDAQ:ANNA) a obtenu l'approbation régionale (Intesa) de la région Émilie‑Romagne pour son projet de développement du gisement de Gradizza. Il s'agit de la dernière étape avant l'obtention d'une concession de production du Ministère de l'Environnement et de la Sécurité Énergétique (MISE), qui permettra de lancer les travaux de construction.
Le gisement de Gradizza, situé dans la province de Ferrare au nord de l'Italie, constitue le premier développement entièrement détenu et exploité par AleAnna. Le gisement contient des réserves prouvées nettes (Proved) de 0,4 Bcf, des réserves probables de 0,8 Bcf et des réserves possibles de 5,6 Bcf. Une fois la concession de production accordée, le gisement devrait être opérationnel sous 12‑18 mois.
Le projet prévoit un puits unique et une petite unité de traitement à faible emprise, exploitant des réservoirs turbiditiques à haute perméabilité similaires à ceux du gisement de Longanesi. Ce développement s'inscrit dans la stratégie de l'entreprise visant à renforcer la sécurité énergétique de l'Italie et à soutenir la transition de l'Europe vers une énergie plus durable.
AleAnna (NASDAQ:ANNA) hat von der Region Emilia-Romagna die regionale Zustimmung (Intesa) für sein Gradizza-Feldentwicklungsprojekt erhalten. Dies ist der letzte Schritt, bevor eine Produktionskonzession vom Ministerium für Umwelt und Energiesicherheit (MISE) erteilt wird, die den Baubeginn ermöglicht.
Das Gradizza-Feld, in der Provinz Ferrara in Norditalien gelegen, ist AleAnnas erste vollständig im Eigentum der Gesellschaft befindliche und betriebene Erschließung. Das Feld enthält netto nachgewiesene Reserven (Proved) von 0,4 Bcf, wahrscheinliche Reserven (Probable) von 0,8 Bcf und mögliche Reserven (Possible) von 5,6 Bcf. Nach Erteilung der Produktionskonzession wird erwartet, dass das Feld innerhalb von 12–18 Monaten in Betrieb geht.
Die Erschließung umfasst einen einzelnen Bohrloch und eine verfahrensmäßige Anlage mit kleiner Flächeninanspruchnahme und nutzt hochpermeable Turbidit‑Speicher, ähnlich denen des Longanesi-Feldes. Das Projekt passt zur Strategie des Unternehmens, die Energiesicherheit Italiens zu stärken und den Übergang Europas zu nachhaltigeren Energiequellen zu unterstützen.
- Receipt of final regional approval (Intesa) for Gradizza Field development
- 100% working interest ownership in the Gradizza Field
- Combined potential reserves of 6.8 Bcf (Proved + Probable + Possible)
- Relatively quick development timeline of 12-18 months post-concession
- Strong existing infrastructure with 33,000 kilometers of gas pipelines
- Relatively modest Proved reserves of only 0.4 Bcf
- Project still requires final Production Concession approval from MISE
- Significant portion of reserves (5.6 Bcf) classified as Possible, indicating higher uncertainty
Insights
AleAnna secures crucial regional approval for Gradizza Field, advancing toward production with potential to boost gas output and EBITDA.
AleAnna has achieved a significant regulatory milestone by securing the Intesa (regional approval) from Emilia-Romagna for its Gradizza Field development. This approval represents the final prerequisite before receiving the Production Concession from Italy's Ministry of Environment and Energy Security, which would authorize construction and infrastructure connection.
The Gradizza Field, located in Northern Italy's Ferrara Province, will be AleAnna's first fully-owned and operated development with
From a development perspective, Gradizza presents an efficient opportunity with a small environmental footprint, requiring just a single well and modest processing facilities. Once the Production Concession is granted, AleAnna estimates construction completion and production startup within 12-18 months. This timeline positions Gradizza as a near-term catalyst for increased natural gas production and EBITDA growth.
This regulatory progress demonstrates AleAnna's ability to navigate Italy's complex permitting environment and secure stakeholder support across national, regional, and community levels. The company has positioned itself as contributing to both Italy's energy security and Europe's broader energy transition, aligning with governmental priorities during a period of heightened focus on domestic energy supply.
