1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
One of the most strategically important sectors for Albanian economic development has been and remains
the sector of extraction and processing of oil, gas and mining, especially Chrome, copper, iron, nickel, etc., as
natural resources that are required ever more in global markets.Industrial and technology development with
higher rates,ongoing urbanization in many countries and regions,increased demand for energy and
industrial products,and the social demographic changes in many industrial and developing countries have
enabled a demand increase for the products of this sector and the need for greater transparency for the
activities and actions that occur in this industry.
The main objective of this report is the data collection and processing needed to build and operate an online
public information to recognize, use, analyze and evaluate data and economic indicators, social and legal of
extractive areas and the achieved objectives in order to initiate measures and concrete actions to further
progress in the areas of extractive industry.
This report is based on a methodology which first has identified the main sources of information from the
main institutionswho are engaged in the process of supervision and management of this sector and secondly
has selected those information products that have a significant role to the public, government, the
community of investors and local communities of the regions where the companies operate under license
for the extraction and processing of oil, gas and minerals.
Ongoing, the project seeks to process and make transparency of various indicators of an economic, financial,
technical, social, demographic and legal character thatthrough a combined methodology includes the data
information based on the central institutionswhich are directly associated with the collection, processing
and information distribution related to mining and hydrocarbon industries.In the report is also enabled a
synthesized presentation and graphic elements in connection with the collected data.
In the structure of these indicators are distinguished static given indicators for a certain period of time, for
example the year 2014 and dynamic data in time series for periods going over several years. Also, are
separated generic sector indicators, which represents the performance of the sector in the country and
specific indicators that show the local situation in particular regions where it is invested in this sector.
The combination of these indicators enables the analysis of variationbetween indicators and different
variables of information and comparability achievement within the sector and between the sector and other
sectors,or the sector in different countries and provides a sector overview to meet the program goals of
transparency for this sector.One of this project findings is the lack of a complete information
formathierarchically, which must have analytical parts suitable to be synthesized in synthetic indicators in a
static formfor a period of time and dynamic time series.
This product information is provided through tables and graphic system that peaks in the creation ofthe
sector information electronic mapping, which will become part of the Internet site of EITI Albania structure.
For each of the municipalities taken in consideration is realized even a general profile including data on
geography, population, data with economic, financial, technical and social character,for those municipalities
where such information can be collected. During the process it was found that the majority of municipalities
had not published data easily accessible and editable.
In order to create an information product, in report form or Web page, this report recommends the
following steps:
Creating a systematic and periodic system for data collection from businesses licensed to industry.
5
Identification of all institutions that receive and collect data related to the mineral sector, oil and
hydropower.
Creation of a data processing unit to AlbEITI, which manages the process itself or coordinates the
work with state agencies, companies and licensed and active entities.
Standardization and preparation of generic tables in static and dynamic forms, the aggregate result
of tables generated by cumulative institutions. Preparation of specific maps.
Selection and grouping of aggregate tables by economic indicators, technical, socio-economic and
legislative.
Design and implementation of relevant tasks for building a web application that will enable the start
of the creation process of a site / application that enable the visualization of generic tables and
respective maps, as well as the connection and integration of the site and indicators identified and
analyzed with AlbEITI site.
Creation of a working protocolfor periodic and systematic management of the site and site
promotion in the community.
Continuous enrichment with new qualities, indexes and tables of the following periods for the
information on the Internet site.
The result of this project will be also the web site in which will be presented the Albania map with
interactive elements. On the map, the municipalities taken in consideration will be highlighted and can be
selected by users.The user will have the opportunity that after the municipality selection for which is
interested, to get information and after the election, he will be directed to another page in which will be
presented the main data analyzed for the selected municipality.
Some recommendations
The data identification process is very challenging,especially for data that will be generated by
municipalities, that are related with the impact on the community,efficiency of mineral, hydrocarbon and
hydropower exploitationtransparency of investments and contributions, community benefit from the
income generated from the use of extractive resources in the respective areas and nationally, growth of
municipalities responsibilityand governmental agencies associated with the extractive industry to collect and
process this information etc.
There are several indicators that are still in the process of systematic identification of their generation, such
as social indicators related to unemployment, poverty rate, or economic indicators relating to contributions
and investments, etc.
The process of data collection and information from the companiesshould be implemented through an
information management system,regulated by bylaws and programmed,evidenced and followed with
timelines, and to increase the rate of reporting obligation,obligation to be legally extended to state agencies
and private entities, but that require the combination of local government structures and INSTAT.
Responsible and systematic collection of standardized data, coupled with regulatory obligation and
supported by a management information system, enables the growth of information accuracy and
transparency.

2. PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The government is fully aware of the transparency importance and good governance through accountability
and publicity indices of these sectors.
The task goals via methodology implementation, is a presentation of collected information and processed by
the contractor, for extractive industry areas, in format similar to that of Wikipedia, which is required to be
implemented. The training map has a dual purpose as follows:
To be recognized and understood the overall actions environmentand supporting data
technical-economic-social-legal inextractive industry areasin order to highlight the current
results and development prospect.It is also important to highlight the existing potential of
these areas or priority areas to intervene and the gaps to be filled in the followingfor
sustainable development.
To benefit from the copperation between state structures, civil society and stakeholders by
identifying opportunities to mobilize actions and taking measures in all areas and sectors to
overcome obstacles and accelerate their success.
The main objective of this service is the collection and necessary data processingto build and
operate an online public information to recognize, use, analyze, discuss, comment and evaluate
economic - social and legal data indicators ofextractive industry areas and the objectives achieved
in order to initiate concrete measures and actions to further progress in the areas of extractive
industry.
We propose the methodology and graphic appearance of data reflection for publication on the
web.
As part of the methodology used for the manner of presentation and publication of data on the
web, it is thought the presentation of data on a map, with a dynamic graphical interface.
On the web site will be presented graphically the Albanian mapin which they will highlight the
areas of interest, areas in which are conducted studiesand measurements of key indicators.Its
mapping operation will largely be explained in the following sections.
Allowing the users to obtain the necessary information through various indicators like population
and its density, qualification level, unemployment level, location and exploitation of minerals, oil
and gas, water resources etc.,active extractive industry entities and their licenses, extractive
reserves, government revenues and local government projects financed by domestic investors and
foreign donors,the contribution of the extractive industry and processing industry in the national
economy and local etc., can be understood and better use the relations between / and extractive
activities, the socio - economic data, legislation, etc.,which on the other side can facilitate
transparency, accountability and impact and help the improvement of the living standards in the
areas of extractive industry.
The process of issuing public information will be built on the basis of:
Collection of different technical, economic, legal and social indicators.
7
Legislation in force reflection on extractive industry.
Indicators reflection nationwide and detailed by extractive industry areas.
Reflection of environmental protection problems and their solutions.
Indicators comments for the progress and the identified problems.
The current and future potential of extractive industry areas and the use of natural resources for
sustainable development.
Quality life improvement in the industry areas.
Etc..
As objective part is also the suggestion of publication methods and their use in existing web sites:
http://www.albeiti.org, after the completion of collection process,processing and presentation of
data in word, maps, graphics and other forms of statistical information.
The aim will be to integrate informationfrom various official state sources, civil societies, groups of
interest and communities or different individualsinvolved in broader issues of performance and
development of the extractive industry and communities benefit in these areas through the
ongoing transparency and accountability.
Collection, analysis and comments on this study of techno - economic and social – legal datain
extractive industry areas of current and future values, will be:
For Hydrocarbon areas (Patos Municipality).
For Mineral areas (Bulqizë Municipality, Fushë-Arrëz Municipality, Pukë Municipality, Has
Municipality, Skrapar Municipality, Përrenjas Municipality and Selenicë Municipality).
For hydropower areas (Vau Dejës Municipality).
To reflect a more complete informationfor the achievements recognition so far and ongoing, reflecting the
potential use of these areas. The indicators and achieved results will reflect the progress for a sustainable
development with positive effects on the level of life in the relevant areas and in the Albanian economy.
The purpose of the assignment is to collect, produce and submit for publication various technical data,
economic, legal and social,which will inform the general public, within and outside the country, different
individuals and entities concerned about the trend of indicators and in general for sustainable development
of these areas, reaching the objective of increasing the scope of the Albania EITI reports.
Consultant's report will be submitted to the Albanian EITI Secretariat and MSG becoming publicly available.

4. A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE METHODOLOGY
Integrated data of hydrocarbon sectorare the analysis result of the main information sources in Albaniaas
well as global best practices that reflect the standards, principles and interests of the main actors and
company in general for the hydrocarbon sector development. Main sources as AKBN, INSTAT, SHGJSH, ERE,
INSTAT etc.and specific studies by the Authorized Agency are taken in particular into consideration.
The indicators are built on the basis of the format report submitted by the company that is the basic unit of
information and grouped in a regional, product and industry level.
The generic indicators are given in a static format for a reporting period or on a dynamic level or time series
over the years.
The indicators are built on the basis of a report format provided by the company that is the basic unit of
information and that is grouped in a regioal, product and industry level.
4.1 EXTRACTIVE INDUSTRY
Albania is a country rich in oil and mineral resources. Search - discovery, exploitation and processing of
these mineral resources, is an important component of our economy. Extractive industry for a long time has
been an important factor for economic development.
Extractive industry sector in Albania is represented by the oil industrial sector and the mining sector, the
latter mainly concentrated in the production of Chrome, copper, iron, nickel, bituminous and bitumen gravel
and minerals that serve as raw materials in the construction industry.
4.1.1 HYDROCARBON SECTOR, OIL AND NATURAL GAS
Albania has significant reserves of oil and gas on land and at sea, which have encouraged foreign investors
to start digging and searching for undiscovered areas of oil and gas.Hydrocarbon accumulations are
underground unique natural resources, through which Albania has consistently generated significant
financial funds.
The hydrocarbon activity in Albania has its beginnings around 1800, when were performed the first
geological expeditions, and later around 1900, when these operations were further intensified and followed
with the discovery of several oil and gas fields.
The copperation with the international oil industry began in the early 1900s, when were given a number of
concessions to foreign companies, the largest of that time. After 1990 have been developed several
licensing rounds for research, development and hydrocarbons production and have been drafted a number
of agreements with foreign hydrocarbons companies. Oil exploration in Albania started in 1918. Since that
time, were discovered oil-holder areas in 11 land areas including: Drashovicë (1918), Patos (1927), Kuçovë
(1928), Marinzë (1957), Visoka (1963), Gourisht-Koçul (1965), Ballsh-Hekal (1966), Finiq-Krane (1973),
Çakrran-Mollaj (1977), Delvinë (1989) and Sqepur (2001).
The gas exploration in Albania started in 1955. The first gas-holder area was discovered in Divjakë (1963),
followed by Frakulla (1965), Ballaj–Kryevidhi (1983), Povelça (1987), Panaja (1988), and Ad-4 (in the sea –
1994).

4.1.2 MINING SECTOR
Albania is known for the reserves of Chrome, iron, nickel and copper. Their discovery, exploitation and
processing, is an important activity for the economy.Traditionally, after 1944, the extractive industry and
processing of minerals like Chrome, copper, iron, coal, has provided substantial income.
Albania counts a number of medium and small exploitation companies (underground), an increasing
number of exploitation companies (quarry) and only two or three major mining and industrial
companies.The sector has been completely dominated by state-owned enterprises and in 1994 with the
adoption of the new mining law began to seek private investments.
Our country has a long history in the mining sectorwith large deposits of Chrome, nickel, copper and
limestone.Chrome Reserves are estimated at about 36.9 million tons and copper reserves of about 27
million tons. Reforms in the mining industry present considerable governance challenges.
4.1.3 HYDROPOWER SECTOR
Hydropower is the largest source of renewable energy in our country. Albania ranks in Europe as a country
with significant water resources, with a hydrographic extension distributed almost in the whole territory.
Albania, with its area of 28 748 km2, has a hydrographic extension with an area of about 44,000 km2, or
57% more than the national territory.
Electricity sector and natural gas in our country are regulated by the Law Nr. 9072, dated on 22.05.2003 "On
the Electricity Sector", as amended, and Law no. 9946, dated 30.06.2008 "On Natural Gas Sector", as
amended.
Hydropower production in Albania is dominated by the public sector. In the end of the year 2014, the
Albanian stateowned and administeredAlbanian Power Corporation (KESH), the Transmission System
Operator (OST) and the Electricity Distribution Operator (OSHEE).
Referring to the EITI 2013-2014 report, KESH is the largest producer in the country. With an installed
capacity of 1.448 MW or 80% of the total installed power in the country, built on the Drin river in the north,
KESH generated about 87% of energy production in 2013.This dropped to 72% in 2014, due to an increased
activity of private HPP (Hydro Power Plants) and HPP with concession in this sector.
Cost structure of domestic energy production has changed in the past 5 years, with the increased production
by the private HPP and with concession and is expected to change further in the future,when a large number
of small and medium HPP with concession will enter in the production phase.
The data reported by NANR show that a large number of HPP given in concession have not yet begun the
construction or are still under construction at the date of this report,displaying delays with two or more
years.More specifically, by 502 HPPs given by concession, 308 HPPs with installed capacity of 1.152 MW and
energy provided by 5.359 GWh have not yet started the construction.While 84 HPPs are in the construction
phase.If all HPP would complete the construction within two years from the date of concession and will
produce energy provided in the concession contract, the concession fee would be around 1.78 billion in
2013 and 1.9 billion in 2014.These values are about 10 times more than the income by the concession fees
collected in both years.

5.THE GENERIC INDICATORS RESULTED BY THE COMPANIES REPORTS THAT OPERATE IN THE
EXTRACTIVE INDUSTRY
The generic indicators are general sector indicators that show the sector progress and performance.These
indicators are based mainly on the report that the company is obliged to submit to NANRfor its operations
as well as data collected by other supervisory institutions like the Ministry of Finance, Customs Directorate,
or information management institutions as INSTAT, etc ..
In the extensive research of the information range that has to be drafted, is required that the information
report by the sector of extractive and processing companies, to better fulfill a series of information requests
in order to answer better to the public interest and to the investor community. The indicators show a
general overview of this sector activity, his role in the Albanian economy, and the perspectivefor more
investments and the production increasementin the context of employment and the regions and country
economic development.
The generic indicators arerecommended tomet and improvein the future on the basis of companies
reporting format that are licensed in the extraction, processing and sale of hydrocarbons and minerals in
Albania.
The basic information unit is the company ratio which is recommended to be completed in full by the
company and that the contains the elements specified in the DCM no. 233, dated on 23-03-2011,or in other
legislative documents.Our practice and best international practices show that the companiesreporting form
include information related to strategic and organizational elements as follows (see Appendix 4 for details):
Company Strategy
Strategic priorities and key issues in short and long term, aimingthe business sustainability and the
fulfillment of international standards of organizational strategy for the success achievement.
The main trends that influence in the company and its priorities.
The main achievements and problems in the reporting period.

Indicators derived from the company's report are grouped at regional and national industry product level.
However based on existing reports, the summary information aims the synthetic and integrated
presentation of hydrocarbon sector key indicators, minerals and hydropower grouped into the following
categories:
12
Financial and economic indicators of the sector by product, region and industry
socio-economic indicators in the region where the extractiveor processing company operates
Technical indicators

This hilly chain continues in an arch shape along Fier – Patos street, like a natural amphitheater.He is part of Mallakastra hillswhich continue to the South up to Vjosa river. The area is 82.55 km2.
Their average height is about 200-300 m which comes on decrease toward Patos while dives in Myzeqe field. The highest point of the region is located in the Margellici hillwith quota 320 m above sea level.Before the city to the north and northwest lies Muzeqe field while to the north-east Roskoveci area.

Rainfall occurs mainly in the form of rain and snow is a rare occurrence.During the summer falls just 1/10 of annual rainfallswhich raises the need for

5.3.1.2 CULTURE AND SPORTS
The city soccer team is called “Albpetrol”, that has her best achievement in the Albanian final with
“Partizani” team in the season 93'- 94', as well as the participation in the European season 94'- 95 '.
5.3.1.3 ECONOMY
City town began in the year 1949 to accommodate the workers and oil engineers.Oil-bearing basin known as
"Patos-Marinza" is historically the most abundant oil in Albania and today continues to produce vast
majority of crude oil in our country.But despite this, the number of employees in the oil industry of this area
today is lower than before.
For many years the main economic source has been the oil field sector, but after the foreign companies they
have started the operation in the oil marketthe level of employment in this sector has changed, bringing a
greater focus on agronomy and agriculture. According to the existed data, except to the former Zharres
Commune, other areas as Patos and Ruzhdia have as their main economic source the olive cultivation and
trade of its derivatives,which are favored by the hilly landscape on this area.
Further is the private service sector that provides the revenues for the urban area and in recent years they
have started the activity in this local unit and even in the fassone bussiness. Due to the mountainous
landscape in this municipality exists remote areas with the municipal center, their population is significantly
reduced due to the displacement towards urban centers of the country or to neighboring countries.In recent
years, the road infrastructure of the urban area and surrounding villages has been significantly improved,
but of course there is still much work to be done in order to ensure easy transportation of the remote
mountainous areas to the center of the municipality.
Patos Geographical extent and local unit extension makes bigger the local government – municipality
challenges, by combining the needs to meet the Ballsh city problems and those of its rural areas.One of the
main problems frequently identifiedby local residents relates with the Municipality support based on the
conditions for trading their products,mainly olive and olive oil. The promotion of these products that are
characteristic for this area, will certainly grow the planted areas and economy.
One of the most important challenges faced by local government is the cleaning and rehabilitation of many
oil fields abandoned areas and the measures to prevent pollution from existing wells.In this context, the
residents of this municipality have identified as a challenge even the best role of the relations between local
government and the concessionary company that uses oil fields.
Also, another challenge which the local government - municipality will face is the disbursement by central
governmentand well-administration of mineral royalty by oil extraction in this area, and well-administration
of mineral royalty
One of the other challenges identified by the community of this area is related to the establishment and
infrastructure improvement of educational buildings in the area,kindergarten and schools, which will help to
improve the quality of education in the area.
Another aspect that requires local government attention is the increased number of homeless families in
recent years, in support of which must be provided and build social houses.

5.7.2 MUNICIPALITY PROFILE
Puka municipality is one of the richest mining areas in the country, which also possesses a significant forest
area. However, forest Inappropriate cutting has caused not a few problems for this area.
The mining closure or their giving in concession has increased the number of unemployed in Puka, turning
the poverty in an acute problem for local residents.Because of it, a good part of the population has migrated
to the Middle Albania or abroad. Revenues from emigration are an important subsistence source for the
municipality.For years, in this area have missed significant investments, while Durres-Kukes road has further
isolated Puka Municipality.

Puka mountainous terrain is very suitable for development of mountain tourism; besides assets and natural
resources with great economic value located within Puka territory, natural forests, medicinal plants, mining
underground resources.
Over recent years, a small number of tourists have returned to Puka due to the opening of a ski place and
construction of several guesthouses. However, their number remains low.
A problem for Puka Municipality remains the winter season, where blocking roads from snowisolates a good
part of the area and creates difficulties for the residents life.
Private mining activity, in Puka District has started in the year 1995 and now, there are active and registered
18 subjects, of which 8 license operate in the exploitation of copper mineral,
6 licenses are for the chrome use, 1 license for kaolin mineral, 1 license for volcano construction materials, 1
permission for tractolities and a license for limestone.

5.8.2 MUNICIPALITY PROFILE
The new municipality of Selenica lies in a hilly area on the left coast of Vjosa River and along Shushica River.
The new municipality has on its territory the historical mine of bitumen in Selenica, where are hired even
70
the residents of nearby villages, as well as the area's oil of Vllahina where oil is toward the exhaustion,
leaving behind a large contaminated area.
The new municipality consists on several municipalities that do not have organic links with Selenica city, and
are not directly related to the road of this city, making difficult in this way the communication between
them.
Agriculture and farming is the main economic activity of the new municipality, the population of which is
based exclusively on remittances from emigration to ensure its incomes.
As agricultural area, the new municipality is closely linked with the city of Vlora, as an important market for
its products.
5.8.2.1 DATA ON SELENICA MINERALS
Geologically Selenica mine and oil and gas of this area are related by study and research for oil and gas
retention, the initial geological descriptions by L.Madalena (Sulla geologia di Petroli Albanesi” dating since
from 1868, with Coquand author which describes the mining of bitumen Selenica, the gas signs that appear
around the area and around the mine.
Exploitation beginning of bitumen sources in Selenica is premature, more than 2000 years before, but its
exploitation in an organized manner, starting in 1870, when for the first time it was given in concession to a
British Company. In August 1886 the concession passed to the Ottoman Bank in Kostandinopoja. In
September 1891 the concession passed to the FRENCH bitumen Company, with headquarter in Paris. During
the period 1914 – 1916, exploitation works in the mine were suspended because of the war. During the
period 1916 – 1920 the mine was controlled by the Italian army that has also used it.
In the year 1920 the concession passed to the Italian company S.I.M.S.A. Starting from June 1945 and up to
October 1996, the mine was exploited by the Albanian State. In October 1996, the main part of shares (70%)
of the company "Bitumi" JSC were privatized by the Company VEFA ltd and in February 2001, the company
shares of “Bitumi” JSC were 100% privatized by the French Company K.L.P. Industries that established in
Albania according the Albanian right the Company “SELENICË BITUMI" JSC which currently develops mineral
extracting and processing activities in the bitumen place in Selenica.
So, the mine of Selenica bitumen, over the years has provided a valuable contribution to the development of
the mining industry in Albania and the country's economic development. With her history, it reflects
precious historical value, the value of developing market economy (capitalism), strike movement values and
big economic values.
From February 2001 and ongoing, the main part of the oilfield where is part the existing mines (vertical well)
is used by the company "Selenica Bitumi" JSCwhich owns 100% of the assets of the former company
"Bitumi" JSC (bitumen mine in Selenica) which is equipped with exploitation permit for extraction of natural
bitumen reserves and bituminous gravel in an area of 1.7 km2 and vertical from the surface to the depth of
the source and from the other French Company"
Mineral Bitumen" ltd equipped with exploitation permit for quarry extraction of natural bitumen reserves
and bituminous gravel (Technological losses) on areas previously used with underground workings.
For the use of the mineral deposit, are given even some other exploitation permits with limited surfaces for
extraction of the mineral reserves in areas previously used with underground workings located on the
southern border of the oilf field, close to the surface.
71
In Albania, the bitumen mine in Selencia or the trade Company "Bitumi" JSCis the only one that has included
in her shares the mining assets (Mineral capital works, underground and surface technology, enrichment
factories, buildings, warehouses, offices, factories and all the other infrastructure.

5.9.2 MUNICIPALITY PROFILE
The new municipality of Skrapar has a rugged mountainous relief, which has a very wide area and low
population. The population of the area has decreased significantly over the last decade by the residents’
departures to big cities in Albania or in emigration. Çorovoda city lost more than 40 percent of the
population between 2001 and 2011, while many communes have lost over half of the population.
Lack of perspective, namely the job places, has made possible for the city residents to settle to the big cities
for a better future for their children, and residents of remote areas have left toward Çorovoda city as a
result of the lack of roads and doctors in their villages. The main problem for Çorovoda residents has been
the difficult situation of the national highway Skrapar-Berat.
Skrapar as the main source has her incomes that come from farming and agriculture, highly-regarded
products in domestic markets, among the best known as the cheese and Skrapar raki. Recently, to the
Skrapar city is added the hope for the tourism development. Skrapar canyons are attracting more and more
the attention of foreign and domestic visitors.
Over 20 thousand visitors are thought to have affected this natural beauty in the last four years. Religious
tourism is another resource of this area. Thousands of visitors visit Skrapar every year during the Bektashi
holiday and during the pilgrimage days of August. But, this tourism resource is prevented by the road poor
condition ne Gjerba Village, where the visitors must travel to the holy Mount of Tomor.
Tomori National Park is another very important resource of the area, still not in the service of mountain
tourism, as a result of infrastructure and services lack. The Municipal Union Bogova with Skrapar, gives to
the new municipality another option for the tourism development. The water that flows from the heart of
the mountain, lovely hills, favorable climate and delicious food, give to the area very positive elements for
the nature tourism development. Unlike the rest of the district, from Bogova there were no large population
movements. The whole village lives with family tourism revenues. Part of this municipality is Novaj village,
known for her decorative stone.
Private mining activity in the district of Skrapar, started in 2001 and up to December 2014 have been active
25 mineral exploitation permits.
In the district of Skrapar, the mining activity is developed in two areas, namely; in Novaj where it is worked
to extract limestone slabs and Milova area in the extraction of massive limestone.

6. SPECIFIC INDICATORS OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT IN A PARTICULAR REGION
Specific indicators are based on the best practices in the world where the companies that operate in the
oil, gas and mineral industry have provided a social - economic contribution even in theinfrastructure for
the region and community. To implement some of these indicators was built a questionnaire, to be
completed from the municipalities that administer mineral bearing regions or oilfields. Below is given an
explanation for the key and specific indicators of the investment socio-economic impact in the mineral
industry for a particular region. The questionnaire is found in the Appendix 2 of the document.
The following indicators will have to belong to the Year 2015, based on the assumption that most
municipalities do not have these data, and will need to collect them starting from the next year in favor
of the year 2015.
Impact indicators are as follows:
Direct value realized and distributed.
Financial implications, risks and opportunities arising from climate change.
Financial assistance received from the government.
Development and investments impact in infrastructure.
Indirect impact and extent of this impact.
The percentage of procurement expenditures carried out by local companies.
The total investment in utilities to protect the environment.
The report should show the value realized and distributed including basic components of the company
activity as follows.
During the report preparation, this questionnaire was sent to hydrocarbons and mineral municipal
areas. The questionnaire proved to be very valuable, but difficult to be completed; therefore it makes
necessary for the municipalities to begin to collect this information from the companies and to process
it, in order to see the impact results in consumers of hydrocarbons and mining companies.
Besides the delivery by mail, was enabled a meeting in one of the important Municipalities, like Patos
Municipality, which resulted in partial information.
Details about these indicators are presented in Annex 5 of the document.
92
7. VISUALIZATION AND WEB SITE FUNCTIONALITY
As part of the methodology used for the presentation manner and data publication on the web, is meant
the data presentation on a map, with a dynamic graphical interface.To illustrate the graphical model of
the collected information, is used Google Map. At a later stage, when preparing the terms of reference
will be required the use of a more advanced module,which enables more complete presentation in all
extractive industry areas in Albania, in combination with Google Maps.
http://ilab.dmcs-online.com/maps/
On the web site will be presented graphically the map of Albania where will be highlighted the areas of
interest, areas in which these studies were conducted and the measurements of key indicators.
Figure 11. Map of Albania and extractive industry areas
Each of the extractive industry areas, highlighted on the map, will be clickable.Once a user will click on
one of the areas that require information, will be shown a table, which reflects in a concise and
processed manner the economic - social and legal processed data for the clicked area.
Part of the web page, associated with the map will be a dynamic legend.In legend, will appear some
main categories in the extractive industries (minerals, hydrocarbons, etc.) that can be selected by the
users.The user will be able to select one of the categories for which it is interested to get information
and after choosing a category, on the map will appear analyzed key data for the selected category in the
area.
93
The table inclusion with information on the indicators, in this project phase is carried out
manually.Meanwhile, in a second moment will be a dynamic system which will enable data collection
input in tables set for each of the areas.Depending on the economic income and economic investment,
it will build a dynamic map that will take data from the database, that will be updated in real time.
Figure 12. Regions selection from the map
From the technical infrastructure, the system will use an API (Application Programming Interface) called
AM Map, which allows graphical display of data, depending on the community investment.For each
municipality will be given data on investments made from extractive industry companies and that
depens on the amounts invested in the community, the map will reflect these data allowing
comparisons between investments in different areas.
Will be built a database which will collect information over the years and then this information will serve
to populate the map with comparative data between municipalities.To illustrate the differences
between the values invested in the community we will use the colord with different contrast, which vary
based on investment function.Through this presentation method,on the map will be easy to identify the
municipalities with the largest investment in the community and those with less investment.
94
7.1 PROTOTYPE (WEB-MODEL)
The system will enable the data presentation in a grouped form, in order that their identity will be
easier and faster.
The grouping will be implemented under the main categories of indicators, which are: Socio-Economic,
Legal, Technical and Social.In the first visual appearance that will be shown to the user, will be visible
only these main groups of indicators.
Each of the groups will be clickable even if the user will click one of them, will show other indicators
which constitute the main indicator.The user will then be able to click on the indicator for which has
interest to get information.
Figure 13. Tables overview based on indicators
Shortly thereafter, the system will display an organized table in such a way that for each municipality
will appear the values of indicators in different years. The user will be able to see the data that he
wants, for the area of interest and the year for which he is interested.
The system will be connected to a database, in which the data will be updated automatically. The
database will collect information over the years and then this information will serve to populate the
tables of indicators with data for various municipalities.Through this mode of presentation where the
information will be grouped according to the extractive industries and areas over the years, it will be
very easy to realize comparisons of the values of indicators during or between different areas.
95
8. CONCLUSIONS
The process of information reflection and transparency in connection with the oil and mining
industryis an important step in the development of the business community relations, central
and local government and local communities where licensed enterprises operate for the
exploitation and products commercialization in this industry.
This process requires a systematic pursuit of the operational tasks and a well-organized
structureof all institutions engaged in this process.
Supervisory institutions should create a more interactive relationship with the licensed company
to enable timely and quality reporting of information under the relevant obligations.
It is necessary to increase the application range for the information type and structure from the
company, in order to adapt the potential and current investors request with market needs.In
this report, we have demonstrated an information profile that should be taken in the future by
the licensed company, hoping that it will become part of the agreement for the companies’
license which exploit natural resources.
Local government is an important actor and is required to be more committed and to raise
statistical and analytical capacities of information processingrelated to the investments and the
impact of these investments in this industry.
For the purpose of obtaining accurate data and for their transparent reflection even on the
website page, is required to be followed the methodology of data collection based on years, so
it meansdata collection according to the indicators for a year,and then is transferred to the
following year and so on. This completes the systematic information gap.

ANNEX 3 – A PAGE MODEL
Visualization or online display mode will be based on the model created pages for categories and
according to the following hierarchy levels: national; municipality; company
This serves as an orientation information and demonstrative for thesite construction, for the draft of the
extractive industry potential map, the final draft of which will be subject to a more detailed assessment.
3.1 WEB PAGE MODEL OF MUNICIPALITY
Some of the data that will be displayed can be organized according to to the following areas:
(Logo, Description, Population, Administrative Unit, Civil Society, Statistics, Photos, Activities etc.)
A municipality web-page must be organized in such a way that the information can be structured into
three main groups:
1. General Data, including geographical aspects, population, administrative units, etc.
2. Indicators will be another structure which will contain information about various fields’
indicators: economic, social, etc.
3. Companiesthat operate in the selected area.This group will display information (indicator,
images, etc.) related to companies in the area that the user is interested.
The user, by clicking the company name from which wants to receive information and has to be
directed to the company's profile
Despite the organization and association, the main challenge is the completion with data and
information from municipalities, which in many cases are missing to be structured, and easily-
generating.
Web page sample at figure 14 is a performance variant.
