Reabold owns a 26.1% equity interest in LNEnergy.
LNEnergy is a private, UK registered company with extensive industry experience in Italy.
LNEnergy’s primary asset is an exclusive option over a 90% interest in the onshore Colle Santo gas field in Abruzzo, Italy, discovered in 1966.
Colle Santo is the largest onshore proven undeveloped gas field in mainland Western Europe with 65Bcf of gross 2P reserves (RPS estimate, September 2022)
The project is development ready, subject to permits: two wells have already been drilled and no additional drilling is required
The project is a low risk, small scale LNG development concept, with first gas targeted for 2025
The increased investment in LNEnergy supports the development, engineering and approvals process prior to debt financing to bring the project to first gas.
Colle Santo has the potential to generate an estimated €11-12m of post-tax free cash flow per annum according to LNEnergy Management estimates, at 9 mmcf/d sales gas and €45/MWh.
