A company, Invecta Recursos S.L. has applied to the Government for permission to search for petrol and gas in an area of some 100,000 hectares between Vinalopó, Albacete and Murcia, in the municipalities of Villena, Sax, Elda and Monóvar.

It’s the second large application following a request to search in the Valencia Bay by MedOil on which an answer is expected shortly.

There now opens a two month period during which other companies can also make their presentations and those who oppose the exploration can also present their cases.

The Invecta company is unknown, but is probably being used a s front to represent one of the larger petrol companies.
