“We are delighted to have secured this important agreement for the sale of our gas. Black Sea Oil & Gas SRL is working steadily towards achieving all the remaining milestones on the project required to reach FID such that a decision can be taken on whether to approve FID. The assessment of the Offshore Law on the project’s economic viability remains a key part in determining whether a favorable decision to FID will be taken,” Black Sea Oil & Gas CEO, Mark Beacom, commented.

“ENGIE is proud to support the Midia Gas Development Project partners and we look forward to managing the first gas production from the Black Sea, a very exciting new source in Romania. The Midia Gas Development Project gas can be stable long-term source of supply for the development of ENGIE’s position in Romania and the region and we strongly believe that this would enhance Romanian security of supply for years to come,” Edouard Neviaski, CEO of ENGIEs Global Energy Management business unit, added.
