Serbian oil company
NIS
Thursday said it has commissioned
Hungary
's
Acoustic Geophysical Services (AGS) to conduct seismic surveys at the Tria
concession block in western
Romania
, news
agency Mediafax reported.
NIS
, which is majority-owned by
Russia
's
Gazprom, said data from the 2D and 3D seismic surveys at the Tria block will be
used to identify possible structures for drilling of exploratory wells and
potential oil and gas reserves.
"All field works are aimed at searching and exploring for traditional oil
and gas reserves and will be conducted using globally recognized technologies
in accordance with the Romanian law and industry rules and regulations,"
the Serbian company said.
Drilling of the first exploratory well at the Tria block is expected to start
at the beginning of 2014, with at least two more wells to be drilled by the end
of the year.
"Total investment will amount to approximately EUR21.2 million at this
project implementation phase," the company said.
In 2011,
NIS
and
Canadian-based East West Petroleum signed an agreement to explore for oil at
four blocks in western
Romania
, in
Tria, Baile Felix, Periam, and Biled localities.
Geologic exploration at the other three blocks will start once final regulatory
ratification is received from the Romanian authorities,
NIS
said.
