Cosmi\ G. D'Apuzzo^, M. Macchiato^, L. Mangiamele^, M. Salvia^ ' Istituto di Metodologie Avanzate di Analisi Ambientali - C.N.R. - 85050 Dipartimento di Ingegneria e Fisica dell'Ambiente - Universita degli Studi della Basilicata - 85100 Potenza, Italy * Dipartimento di Scienze Fisiche - Universita Federico II - 80126 Napoli, Italy Istituto Nazionale per la Fisica della Materia - Unita di Napoli, Italy Abstract In the latest years, oil extraction activities in Basilicata Region grew up rapidly, covering about the 80% of the whole regional area. These activities represent a significant part of the productive system and may have a considerable impact on the territory (ENI [1]), both in term of landscape and of public health. In the framework of a Regional Plan for Air Quality Protection and Recovery (V.Cuomo et al. [2]), it is therefore necessary to evaluate the pollutant emissions due to the two main extractive activities, gas and oil mining, and their operative phases (oil well preparation, production sampling, crude oil transportation and stabilisation, infrastructures building) (C.Cosmi et al. [3]). The Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) methodology was utilised to combine the available information and to characterise the environmental impacts related to each phase of the activities. Furthermore, SEA was integrated with Advanced Local Energy Planning -ALEP- methodology (C.Cosmi et al. [4]) to consider oil mining activities in the framework of the whole productive system. Air Pollution VIII, C.A. Brebbia, H. Power & J.W.S Longhurst (Editors) © 2000 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISBN 1-85312-822-8 222 Air Pollution VIII Introduction The regional mining activities are extended over an area of about 984.000 hectares. The areas in which such activities are much more intensive are the Val D'Agri, where the oil mining activities deeply increased since 1996, and the area between Ferrandina and Pisticci, where are mainly located gas mining activities. An oil treatment plant is being built near Corleto Perticara (Ministero dell'Industria [5]). Figure 1 represents the mining licences: at present in the Val D'Agri zone, that is the most important relatively to crude oil extraction, there are twenty locations, with four active wells. Natural gas production is about 370.000.000 nrVy, whose 87% is utilised to satisfy the endogenous demand. Crude oil production is about 7.000 barrels per day (7,5% of the national production) (Bonati G. [6]) but it was estimated that the future production of the Val d'Agri will increase to about 83.000 barrels per day (ENI [7]). There are no refineries in the region so crude oil is entirely exported to the nearest refinery of Taranto, after a pre-treatment consisting in dewatering, desulphuration and a preliminary stabilisation to separate methane (CHO . At present oil stabilisation is performed in the plant of Viggiano, which is going to be enlarged and integrated with a new plant located in Corleto Perticara. The oil pipe is not yet finished, therefore at present, crude oil transportation is mainly carried out by tank trucks. To satisfy the increasing production, many infrastructures are going to be built up: • Enlargement of the existing oil treatment plant (from the actual 7.500 barrels per day to 104.000 barrels per day); • Building of an oil pipe-line for connecting the pre-treatment plant of Viggiano to the Taranto refinery (length 136 Km, diameter 20", capacity 150.000 barrels per day); • Building of sea oil-reservoirs, to increase the present capacity up to 520.000 m ; • Settlement of twenty-five new locations for exploration and production; • Building of a network for connecting the new oil wells (length 130 km). Qualitative evaluation of the environmental impact of oil mining activities To estimate the environmental impact of mining activities, it is necessary to consider the different steps of the working process. The operative phases of gas mining are essentially extraction, desulphuration and dewatering. Crude oil mining is characterised by a more complex working cycle than gas extraction. Besides the oil extraction phases, an huge contribution to environmental damage may be also related to some relevant accidents that may occur, as oil wells blow- out and pipe-breakage.

[8]) as pipe-breakage and oil wells blow-up, the emissions may be mainly determined by the accidental combustion of the crude and from a not controlled eruption of pollutants and materials, which fall out may interest an area of many square kilometres surrounding the oil well. No data are available for a reliable estimation of the fluids mass which may be emitted, and, consequently, a quantitative evaluation of the potential environmental damage is rather difficult. Atmospheric pollutant emissions from mining activities The quantitative environmental impact assessment of mining activities was carried out taking into account either crude oil and gas mining, with their subsequent operative phases - drilling, extraction, crude oil pre- treatment. The contribution to the regional atmospheric pollutant emissions was estimated by utilising the EPA factors to calculate the amount of atmospheric pollutant emissions due to mining activities, and the CORINAIR factors for oil transportation. A first interesting result comes from the comparison between the emissions due to oil mining and gas mining. Figure 2 emphasises the difference in terms of the CO and NO% annual amount: gas extraction has the lowest values (CO and NO% emissions are respectively about 0.5% and 5% of the correspondent amount due Air Pollution VIII, C.A.

This results points out the environmental value of natural gas, that has a lower impact either in the production and in the consumption.

In this phase, it is also possible to produce electric energy, by means of a turboalternator. As said before, the present oil pipe doesn't connect all the oil wells with the pre- treatment plant, but the most of the oil produced is transported by tank trucks. Therefore, transportation gives a not negligible contribution to the pollutant emissions. Besides to contribute to the environmental pollution, oil transportation have also a high impact on the territory, increasing the traffic and, consequently the risk of accidents.

M. Calvello et al. [email protected] Received and published: 29 May 2014 On behalf of all co-authors, I wish to thank Referee for the comments. The Val d’Agri area (Basilicata region - southern Italy) is a peculiar site due to the coexistence of the biggest on-shore reservoir of Western Europe with a large oil/gas pre-treatment plant (COVA) on one side and a populated area with several small towns, agricultural activ- ities with valuable crops, woods and natural parks on the other. To assess the risks associated to the oil/gas exploration and pre-treatment activities on the local air quality and human health, a dedicated network has been designed and realized with five mon- itoring stations covering the area in a cross-shaped setting. The peculiarity and novelty C912 of such a network is its density near the site and its capability to follow near-real time variation of plant-specific pollutants so that, at our knowledge, this is the first air quality network which provides continuous concentration measurements of so many pollu- tants in a such small area.

  • Comune Di Calvello (Potenza) Regolamento Urbanistico Relazione 1
    Comune di Calvello (Potenza) 1 Regolamento urbanistico Relazione 1. INQUADRAMENTO TERRITORIALE Il Comune di Calvello è collocato in una zona interna della Provincia di Potenza. Ha un territorio esteso per 105 kmq con una densità territoriale di 22 abitanti per Kmq. Confina a nord e a nord-est con i Comuni di Abriola e Anzi, ad est con Laurenzana, a sud con Viggiano, a sud-est con Marsicovetere e a sud-ovest con Marsiconuovo. Fa parte della Comunità Montana Alto Sauro Calastra e dell’area PIT dell’Alto Basento. I collegamenti principali sono assicurati dalle strade provinciali Potenza- Pignola-Abriola-Calvello, Calvello Marsicovetere e Calvello –Laurenzana – Camastra- SS Basentana. Quest’ultima arteria, collegando il paese con la Basentana, rappresenta il più agevole collegamento con la viabilità regionale ed extra regionale. Le altre strade assumono un valore più propriamente interno, anche se, i recenti sviluppi legati allo sfruttamento petrolifero, hanno collocato la viabilità di collegamento con la Val d’Agri su un piano di grande importanza. 1.a Le prospettive territoriali introdotte dal PSSE della Comunità Montana Alto Sauro Camastra Il PSSE della Comunità Montana Alto Sauro Camastra pone, tra i suoi obiettivi, quello del completamento della Saurina rispetto al quale si stanno discutendo diverse opzioni. Il Piano sottolinea che quale che sia la scelta progettuale definitiva della Saurina, il tratto di S.P. 32 da Bivio Calvello alla Saurina stessa andrà comunque migliorato, divenendo bretella di collegamento fra la Saurina, il nodo Camastra, Calvello ed Abriola. Il Piano Comune di Calvello (Potenza) 2 Regolamento urbanistico Relazione medesimo individua, tra gli assi di secondo livello, il collegamento Camastra – Abriola – Pierfaone, di cui sono necessari ultimazione e miglioramenti.
