PGNiG launches gas exploration near Przemyśl

Poland’s natural gas giant PGNiG said on Tuesday that it has launched drilling at an exploration site near Przemyśl in southeastern Poland. The Fredropol-1 borehole will be 6,000 meters deep. The borehole is located in the area of the Skopów-Komarnice exploration license, 100-percent owned by PGNiG. The aim of the drilling work is to find out the levels of crude oil and natural gas in rocks located below salt deposits, the company said. Obtained results will give ground for further work.
