The number of gas stations is seen up to 2,100-2,300 from 2,000 currently.
Around 35% to 40% of the stations report annual sales under 1 million liters, Buzescu said during ZF Power Summit ’13.
“In the Black Sea region, Romania has a gas station to 10,500 inhabitants, nearing EU average. Bulgaria has a station to 2,500 people, which is too much. Turkey, Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine have a gas station to 6,500 people,” added Buzescu.
Speaking about the oil sector assets, Buzescu added that Kazakhstan’s foreign assets in the oil field will be operated through Rompetrol Group, which is held by the Kazakh national oil and gas company KazMunayGas.
A first step in that respect was made by unifying the two trading agencies, Rompetrol and KazMunayGas, in Switzerland.
