Po Valley Energy
Po Valley Energy (ASX:PVE) is a leading independent gas company growing rapidly from quiet, results-driven beginnings. The Company currently operates exclusively in northern Italy exploiting the large hydrocarbon system, and it is on the verge of becoming a significant gas producer in the fast-growing and under-supplied Italian market as it brings its first fields into production.
Po Valley's surface gas production plant at Castello in northern Italy has now been connected to the Italian pipeline grid. Under Po Valley’s gas marketing contracts gas from the Castello field will be metered and sold at the corner of the Castello site, implying no transportation costs and higher profit margin as a result.
Po Valley banks first revenue as maiden gas flows into Northern Italian energy grid
Australian-listed Po Valley Energy (ASX: PVE) has become Italy’s newest gas producer with its first flows of gas into the country’s energy grid commencing over the weekend.
In a statement today, Po Valley said flows from the Company’s wholly-owned Castello gas field east of Milan had built up to around 1.5 million cubic feet of gas per day after initial start-up late last week.
Chief Executive Officer Michael Masterman said first gas had been a long while coming but the company pleased that the commissioning of the new plant had gone smoothly.
“Flows will be steadily increased to the planned operational level of 2.5 million cubic feet per day over the coming weeks”, Mr Masterman said.
“We are proud to be a pioneer in delivering new sources of secure domestic supplies to the Italian gas market, which is largely dependent on imported gas.
"Po Valley has been supported in this endeavour by the Italian Energy Ministry and, of course, by our patient shareholders."
He said the milestone sets Po Valley on a course of being a substantially different company in 2010 as the company makes the transition from gas explorer and developer to gas producer.
“We expect our production to double shortly as the Company remains on track to commence commissioning our second wholly-owned gas field, Sillaro, east of Bologna, early in 2010," he said.
