The Midia Gas Development Project (MGD Project), offshore Black Sea, is the first new offshore gas development project in the Romanian Black Sea to be built after 1989. The project consists of five offshore 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 onshore gas treatment plant (GTP) in Corbu commune, Constanta county, with a capacity of 1 billion cubic meters per year, representing 10% of Romania’s consumption. The processed gas will be delivered into the national transmission system operated by SNTGN Transgaz SA, at the gas metering station within the GTP.
“The Development of the Ana and Doina gas fields offshore Romania is a top priority for NAMR, which supports the implementation of the Romanian Offshore Project that could lead to the diversification of the supply sources in Romania,” said Gigi Dragomir, head of the National Agency for Mineral Resources.
“This approval from NAMR provides the official acknowledgement from the Romanian state that the MGD project is an approved project, stated BSOG CEO, Mark Beacom.
