By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:
Transgaz S.A, the technical operator of the Romanian gas transmission system and Black Sea Oil & Gas S.R.L., Romanian based independent oil and gas company, have signed the order to start the works of the two projects to take over the Midia Gas Development Project (MGD Project) production into the National Transmission System (NTS), Trend reports citing Transgaz.
Transgaz’s project “NTS extension Vadu – T1” consists of building a new 20″ (Dn 500) gas pipeline designed to carry natural gas at a pressure of 55 bar, with a total length of approximately 24.37 km that will connect the Black Sea coast with the National Gas Transmission System – Transit 1 pipeline on the route Black Sea coast – Corbu – Sacele – Cogealac – Gradina. The construction works are expected to be completed in 2021.
The MGD Project consists of 5 production wells (1 subsea well at Doina field and 4 platform wells at Ana field) a subsea gas production system over the Doina well which will be connected through an 18 km pipeline with a new unmanned production platform located over Ana field. A 126 km gas pipeline will link the Ana platform to the shore and to a new GTP. The processed gas will be delivered into the NTS at the gas metering station to be found within the GTP. The production is estimated to start in Q1 2021.
“This project will cover 10 percent of Romania’s gas per annum and, more than that, it represents an important contribution at national level, as well as for the economic and social development of the local communities. It is the result of an investment that has so far amounted 200 million US dollars and further 400 million will be spent by BSOG until completion of the construction and which demonstrates our commitment to continue supporting the business environment in Romania,” Romania’s Minister of Economy, Niculae Badalau said.
