PGNiG invests in Norwegian gas fields

The fields will give it access to 35.8 million cubic meters of gas, leading Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski to call the deal a "a crucial moment for Poland's energy security", and one that marks an important step towards the diversification of gas supplies. The gas extracted from the fields will be shipped through the North Sea gas pipeline system, to which Poland would be connected via Denmark and the LNG terminal soon to be built in Swinoujscie. The combined deposits cover ed by the licensing rights bought by PGNiG include 35.8 cubic meters of gas, 18.3 million cubic meters of oil and 5.8 million tons of NGL. (Puls Biznesu, p.8) R.M.
