BAKU, Azerbaijan, Feb.11
By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:
Azerbaijan’s state oil company SOCAR is involved in key European energy projects designed to increase Europe's energy security, Romania’s Minister of Energy Virgil Daniel Popescu told Trend.
“We are happy to see that Romania is among the priority directions of SOCAR business development, not only in the area of retail operations, but hopefully also in the future as regards the transmission of Azerbaijani natural gas to Europe,” the minister said.
Popescu recalled that since 2011, SOCAR has been present on the Romanian market and has established already an extensive gas station network at national level.
“Currently SOCAR PETROLEUM is the owner of 61 gas stations in 24 (out of the 40) counties in Romania. SOCAR PETROLEUM is already an important player on our market and the SOCAR filling stations – a familiar and respected brand for the Romanian motorists,” he added.
