Rotar added that in a usual winter day, Romania’s consumption is at around 55 million cubic meters of natural gas, which can be covered from the local production, around 30 million cubic meters, and from deposits, around 20-25 million cubic meters.
Romgaz representative added that all oil operators in Romania should intensify operations to discover new resources.
Romgaz general manager Virgil Metea told a news conference that the company cannot take special measures as regards a potential gas crisis, as the production capacity and the storage cannot increase “over night”.
As regards the period for which Romania has gas reserves, Metea said that it would be “risky” to answer such a question, adding that household consumers will be the last in case of ceasing gas supply.
