HIGHLIGHTS

Highlights

  • E&P: new progresses in development projects:
  • the first new gas-in (Mezzocolle) started after the end of 1H 2017;
  • further progress in Longanesi project authorization (local municipalities resolutions issued).
  • E&P: results positively influenced by the improvement of the hydrocarbon price scenario and the constant control of the operating costs: increase in Ebitda despite the production being consistently interrupted in one of E&P's main concession, which is not operated by the Group, and the lack of contribution of the new gas-in during the period.
  • Commercial activities: confirmed the good marginality of the latest periods.
  • Network & Transportation: increment in the profitability and the distributed volumes mainly thanks to the two new distribution concessions, acquired last year
  • Strong reduction in NFP

  • Exploration: two new wells expected between November 2017 and April 2018;
  • Development: FEED study completed for the development of the already discovered reserves (1.4 BScm).
  • Production decline due to (i) temporarily production suspension of some mining sites and the missed contribution of Garaguso concession (-14.9%) and (ii) natural depletion (-9.4%).
  • EBITDA increase, despite a significant production decline, was driven by a improvement of hydrocarbon prices and the constant control of operating costs.
