Midia Gas Development Project: A Key Energy Asset in Romania
The Midia Gas Development Project (MGD) is centered around the Ana and Doina gas fields, which hold approximately 10 billion cubic meters (Bcm) of gas reserves. These fields, discovered in 1995 and 2007, belong to the latest Miocene to Dacian age and are located 121 km offshore Romania in the XV Midia Shallow Block, where water depths reach 70 meters.
Infrastructure & Production Capabilities
The MGD Project is designed to efficiently extract and process gas, leveraging state-of-the-art offshore and onshore infrastructure:
Five production wells:
- One subsea well at the Doina field
- Four wells at the Ana field
Subsea and onshore pipeline network:
- 18 km pipeline from Doina field to the Ana platform
- 121 km subsea pipeline from Ana platform to the shore
- 4.1 km underground pipeline connecting to the new Gas Treatment Plant (GTP)
Ana Platform
- Unmanned offshore platform designed for remote operation
- Can further facilitate gas production from BSOG’s near-vicinity prospects and third-party gas producers
Gas Treatment Plant (GTP)
- Equipped with dehydration, MEG recovery, power generation, and compression systems
- Processed gas for delivery into Romania’s National Transmission System (NTS)
- Gas metering station operated by Transgaz, located within the GTP
This strategic infrastructure ensures efficient production, processing and transportation of gas, contributing to Romania’s energy security while supporting future expansion opportunities.
1st gas was reached in mid-2022, following a three-year development stage. The current production plateau rate of 3.1 million cubic meters day and represents 12% of Romania’s consumption.
