To do this, the Italian experience from 2012 to present is described from the viewpoint of two governmental administrations, i.e., the Ministry of the Economic Development and the National Civil Protection Department. A fruitful interaction among research institutes, universities, and public administrations has accompanied this long activity phase. It includes, among other things, the constitution of working groups, the development of regulatory guidelines, their testing in pilot case studies, the constitution of a technical–scientific network for the offshore safety (CLYPEA). Within this collaboration, common goals are pursued with a coordinated approach by the ministry and the department, optimizing therefore the achievement of common goals. date: 2019 date_type: published publication: Acta Geophysica volume: 67 number: 1 publisher: Versita, Warsaw and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg pagerange: 411-421 id_number: doi:10.1007/s11600-018-0216-0 issn: 1895-6572 official_url: http://doi.org/10.1007/s11600-018-0216-0 access_IS-EPOS: limited owner: Publisher acknowledgments2: SHEER_project citation: Antoncecchi, Ilaria and Di Bucci, Daniela and Dolce, Mauro and Terlizzese, Franco (2019) Steps forward and open issues on the reduction of the risks related to hydrocarbon production and gas storage: the Italian experience from the viewpoint of two governmental administrations.
