Report summary
One of southern Europe's largest oil and gas producers - Italy's oil production will approach 100,000 b/d by the early 2030s thanks to expected ramp-up of TotalEnergies' Tempa Rossa field. Future output is underpinned by this and the largest field - Eni's Val d'Agri. Together, these deposits will account for almost 90% of Italian liquid production. Gas production will remain relatively flat around 280 mmcfd by 2030. Output was previously expected to reach around 500 mmcfd following the start-up of Eni's Cassiopea project, offshore Sicily, but production has declined due to water breakthrough, resulting in a downward adjustment of the reserves. A complex and multi-layered regulatory environment - Upstream operators in Italy have typically faced bureaucratic challenges, including delays to environmental approvals at the regional level.
