The emergence, development and gradually diversification of the current gas productive infrastructure of S.N.G.N. Romgaz S.A. has as benchmark the year 1909 when the first gas reservoir was discovered and exploited through well 2 Sărmăşel (Mures County). In 1913, the first methane gas production of 113000 m3 was recorded and that production was used on the wells site located in Sărmășel.
In the coming years, the infrastructure for gas transmission started to shape on a small scale; it was a unique infrastructure in that period in Europe, including the following actives:
-
gas transmission pipeline, the first pipeline of its kind in Europe, built in 1914 and connecting Sărmăşel and Turda (Cluj County) localities and
-
gas compressor station from Sărmășel, the first of its kind in Europe and built in 1927.
S.N.G.N. Romgaz S.A. natural gas production activities are currently performed by the two production branches, with the headquarters in Mediaş and Targu Mureş operating together over 140 commercial fields located in Transylvania, Moldova, Oltenia and Muntenia.
The infrastructure related to the exploitation of these gas reservoirs is described as a very complex development that must ensure the gathering, movement, conditioning and measurement of gas volumes produced by wells, on a continuous basis and in the parameters provided by the regulation in the field.
The graphic below shows the evolution of S.N.G.N. Romgaz S.A..gas production recorded between 2000 and 2022:
The production facilities utilization depends on gas sales volumes, which is normally near the value of 100%. Production level of 2022 was supported by ongoing production rehabilitation projects of main mature fields, performance of capitalizable repair works and well recompletion works and by streaming into production new wells.
Natural gas production reached in 2022 4,935.9 million m3, namely a 1.8% decline related to 2021 production, such decline is in line with the strategic target of 2.5%.
According to estimates, this production ensured ROMGAZ a market share of approx. 49.41% of deliveries in the total consumption of Romania, increasing by 7% as compared to 2021.
