The statement was made during a joint press conference with the Prime Minister of Romania, Luca-Alexandru Niculescu, during his visit to Chișinău today.
“The commissioning of the Neptun Deep field will be a landmark event in terms of its impact on the regional gas market and even on the European gas market. I congratulate you, Prime Minister, on the fact that we are so close to this moment. Romania produces around 8 billion cubic metres of gas per year; now, with the commissioning of Neptun Deep, this volume will double, making Romania the largest producer of natural gas in Europe, and I am pleased that we have managed to set aside a significant volume of gas for domestic consumption, which will be supplied in the interests of our consumers,” said Vasile Tofan.
The Prime Minister of Moldova noted that the gas is closer to their country, which means lower transport costs. “This partnership benefits both the supplier in Romania and the citizens of the Republic of Moldova. According to the latest information available to us, the project is scheduled to come on stream next summer, so from next autumn we will begin receiving Romanian gas from the Black Sea,” said Vasile Tofan.
