The three concessions, denominated as Lavagante, Santola and Gamba, have a total area of approximately 9,100 km2. Following the 2D and 3D seismic campaigns covering c.8,500 km and c.1,800 km², respectively, multiple prospects and leads within Jurassic and Cretaceous sediments were identified.

The parties are planning to drill an exploration well during the next exploration period.
