Rospo Mare operated by Energean, one of Italy’s most important offshore crude oil fields is once again producing, with output expected to exceed 2,000 barrels per day, Energean reported.
The field, 20 km from the coast of Termoli and Vasto in the Adriatic Sea, has a current crude production capacity of more than 2,000 bbl/d, and it is expected to remain in service beyond 2040.
Full production should be restored from all three platforms in the next three days, Energean added, following the receipt of required authorizations.
In January, the Italian Coast Guard responded to a fire aboard Rospo Mare B, an oil platform off the coast of Vasto on Italy’s Adriatic coast.
