Yes I have J,
Here is an image of our licences, I say our licences as we have to remember it was the Italian government who paid and sourced the 2D data across the Adriatic to encourage companies to bid for the licences during the downturn and now interest has increased in exploration once again I would be astonished if they are not granted in this final stage.

Now look at the Croation offshore licensing round. On the link below you can see the licences that were up for grabs. The ones we are interested in are the following, South Adriatic 25 and South Adriatic 26.

INA – Industrija nafte d.d. was granted a license for the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons in those two exploration blocks.

Lets look at the INA company Structure

49.1% Mol
44.8% Government of Croatia
6.1% Private and institutional investors
A bit of Sunday reading, look at page 14
Predicted intraplatform basin (source rock). Our licences are above that prediction.
Conclusions page 22 & 23
• Based on the genetic relationship with Apulian and Ionian provinces the South Adriatic is an attractive exploration province
• Mesozoic petroleum system has a relatively strong evidence of having the same origin of source rock in the South Adriatic-Ionian Basin, which is proven by tectonostratigraphic knowledge and oil-source correlation.
• Various authors agreed on the existence of an intraplatform basin, in the platform to margin setting, but the exact extension needs to be confirmed by further drilling.
• Two theories about migration paths exist:
– Vertical, sourced from active source rock pod located beneath prospects
– Lateral, originating from the Peri Adriatic Depression.
• Structural plays which are proven in the Italian side will be the first choice in a present or future exploration efforts in the South Adriatic. They are: Platform edge, Proximal slope talus, Deep basin structures.
