The Tempa Rossa oil field is an oil field located in Corleto Perticara (Basilicata region) in the concession area known as Gorgoglione. It was discovered in 1989 and developed by TotalEnergies. It is expected to begin production in 2016 and will produce oil and gas. The total proven reserves of the Tempa Rossa oil field are around 200 million barrels (29.3 million tonnes), and peak production is expected to be around 50,000 barrels per day (7,900 m3/d) of oil.
On March 18, 2013, Total finalized an agreement to sell 25% of its shares in the oil field to Mitsui E&P Italia A S.r.l.
TotalEnergies announces in its website that the "centro olio" ("oil center") became operational in 2020 and it spans an area of approximately 190,000 m², with a processing capacity of 50,000 barrels of crude oil per day. It also produces 240 tons of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), 230,000 cubic meters of methane gas, and 75 tons of sulfur.
