The National<\/span> Joint-Stock<\/span> Company “<\/span> Naftogaz<\/span> of Ukraine”<\/span> is<\/span> negotiating<\/span> with<\/span> the Romanian<\/span> company “<\/span> OMV<\/span> Petrom”<\/span> regarding<\/span> the development of<\/span> a new<\/span> gas<\/span> field<\/span> in<\/span> the Black<\/span> Sea.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This<\/span> is<\/span> reported<\/span><\/a> by Reuters<\/span> ,<\/span> citing<\/span> sources<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According<\/span> to<\/span> the agency,<\/span> Naftogaz<\/span> discovered<\/span> significant<\/span> gas<\/span> reserves<\/span> on<\/span> the Black<\/span> Sea<\/span> shelf<\/span> even<\/span> before<\/span> the start of<\/span> Russia’s<\/span> full-scale<\/span> invasion<\/span> in<\/span> 2022<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Negotiations<\/span> are<\/span> currently<\/span> at<\/span> an early<\/span> stage.<\/span> Sources<\/span> indicate<\/span> that<\/span> full<\/span> development<\/span> of the field<\/span> can<\/span> only<\/span> begin<\/span> after<\/span> the war ends<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The agency’s<\/span> interlocutors<\/span> did not<\/span> name<\/span> the volume<\/span> of reserves,<\/span> but<\/span> one<\/span> of<\/span> the sources<\/span> noted<\/span> that<\/span> this<\/span> field<\/span> could<\/span> become<\/span> one<\/span> of<\/span> the most promising<\/span> in<\/span> the Black Sea<\/span> region.<\/span> Romania<\/span> and<\/span> Turkey<\/span> are<\/span> already<\/span> developing<\/span> gas<\/span> in<\/span> this<\/span> area<\/span> .<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Reuters<\/span> journalists<\/span> note<\/span> that<\/span> the discovery<\/span> of a new<\/span> field<\/span> could<\/span> strengthen<\/span> Europe’s<\/span> energy<\/span> security<\/span> amid<\/span> shrinking<\/span> energy<\/span> ties<\/span> with<\/span> Russia<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

OMV<\/span> Petrom,<\/span> which is<\/span> majority<\/span> owned<\/span> by<\/span> the Austrian<\/span> company<\/span> OMV,<\/span> is<\/span> also<\/span> exploring<\/span> the<\/span> Khan<\/span> Asparukh<\/span> field<\/span> in<\/span> the Black<\/span> Sea<\/span> off<\/span> the coast<\/span> of Bulgaria.<\/span><\/p>\n

In<\/span> Romania,<\/span> the<\/span> company<\/span> is developing<\/span> the Neptun<\/span> Deep<\/span> field<\/span> together<\/span> with<\/span> state-owned<\/span> Romgaz<\/span> .<\/span> Production<\/span> is expected<\/span> to<\/span> begin<\/span> there<\/span> in<\/span> 2027<\/span> ,<\/span> doubling<\/span> the country’s<\/span> gas<\/span> production<\/span> and<\/span> making<\/span> Romania<\/span> an<\/span> exporter<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n
