The team of the Azerbaijani company Socar will sign a memorandum with Romgaz officials in the government on Wednesday, a document that will form the basis of a joint investment in a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant on the Black Sea, Prime Minister Chuke said on Wednesday. . However, he made another mistake, mistaking the percentage of natural gas in the deposits.

“At the storage level, we have gas stored in excess of 20% of capacity, which gives us the confidence that we can provide the amount of gas both for the consumption of citizens and to support the economy, and we will take steps to do everything possible so that we correlated the daily production capacity, which provides 50% of consumption, with the production capacity from the fields,” Prime Minister Chuke said on Wednesday at the start of the government. meeting.

Regarding investments in the Black Sea, the Prime Minister said that the foundations were laid after the bilateral meeting he had on October 1 in Sofia with the President of Azerbaijan.

“After the bilateral meeting we had on October 1 in Sofia with the President of Azerbaijan, Mr. Aliyev, we agreed to jointly analyze the possibility of starting a joint liquefied gas project in the Black Sea, and today the team of the Azerbaijani company Socar is present in Romania, and today we will sign a memorandum in the Government. which will become the basis for joint investment of the liquefied natural gas plant in the Black Sea,” said the Prime Minister.

Government sources told HotNews.ro on Wednesday that Romania currently has 92.35% of its total gas capacity in storage.

In fact, the Prime Minister himself announced last Friday that Romania’s gas reserves have exceeded the 90 percent fill level. We already have 477 million cubic meters of gas stored, which is more than last year, or 2.774 billion cubic meters out of a total storage capacity of 3.07 billion, Prime Minister Chuke said on Facebook on Friday.
