Italian oil and gas group ENI announced on April 18 the temporary
closure of the Val d’Agri Oil Centre in Viggiano and has consequently
started the procedures for plant shut down.
“This decision has been taken in consideration of the positions
expressed by the territory, the President of the Region and the Regional
Council,” ENI said in a press release.
Following Italy’s Basilicata region’s decision to again block
operations at ENI’s Val d’Agri Oil Centre, ENI said on April 18 that it
confirms that it has fulfilled all the requirements imposed by the
competent authorities, who have been kept continuously informed about
the intervention activities and ongoing environmental monitoring.
“During the closure process, ENI will continue with the necessary
controls to reassure its stakeholders on the correctness and
effectiveness of its work, the integrity of the system and the presence
of all safety conditions for carrying out its operating activities,” the
Italian oil and gas group said.
