Rockhopper Exploration, the oil and gas exploration company headquartered in Salisbury, Wiltshire, UK, has announced that it expects to recover significant monetary damages from the Republic of Italy, in relation to its Ombrina Mare Field.

The basis of the case comes down to loss of profits, as a result of Italy’s breach of the Energy Charter Treaty.

Further to the Company's announcement on 14 May 2021, the Tribunal has today said: ‘The Tribunal has made significant progress and confirms that it should be in a position to complete its work in the course of July.’

All costs associated with the arbitration are funded on a non-recourse basis from a specialist arbitration funder.

A further update will be provided in due course.
