Abstract

The Technical-Scientific Commission for evaluating the possible relationships between hydrocarbon exploration and a marked increase of seismicity in the Emilia Romagna area hit by the May 2012 earthquakes (ICHESE) was appointed in the aftermath of the magnitude (M) major than 5.0 seismic events which occurred in Emilia-Romagna in the period May 20-May29 2012, producing significant damages and fatalities. It was appointed by Dr. Franco Gabrielli, Head of the Department of Civil Protection of the Presidence of Council of Ministers with the decree No. 5930 of December 11, 2012 following the request of the President of Emilia-Romagna Region (Ordinances no. 76 of November 16, 2012 and no. 81 of November 23, 2012). The composition of ICHESE was subsequently modified by the Head of Civil Protection through the decree of March 25, 2013 (following the ordinance No. 30 of March 15, 2013 of the President of the Emilia Romagna Region) and the decree of May, 8, 2013 (following the ordinance No. 54 of May 8, 2013 of the President of Emilia Romagna Region). The Commission is composed of the following experts in seismicity, induced seismicity and hydrocarbon exploration: Peter Styles, Chief of the Commission Professor of Applied Geophysics, Keele University, Keele, Staffordshire, United Kingdom. Paolo Gasparini, Secretary of the Commission Professor Emeritus of Geophysics, University of Napoli “Federico II”, Napoli, Italy Chief Executive Officer of AMRA Scarl (Analisi e Monitoraggio del Rischio Ambientale), Napoli, Italy. Ernst Huenges Head of Section Reservoir Technologies at GFZ (Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum), Potsdam, Germany. Paolo Scandone Retired Professor of Structural Geology, University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy. Stanislaw Lasocki Professor of Earth Sciences, Head of Department of Seismology and Physics of the Earth’s Interior, Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland Franco Terlizzese Petroleum engineer, General Director for Mineral and Energetic Resource, Ministry of Economic Development, Rome, Italy.
