Ce este Neptun Deep, "punctul nevralgic" al României din zona economică exclusivă

Neptun Deep is a strategic gas extraction project in the Black Sea, developed by OMV Petrom and Romgaz, with a €4 billion investment. Located 160 km offshore, it has recoverable reserves of 100 billion cubic meters, potentially ensuring Romania's energy independence by 2027. The project includes an offshore platform, ten wells, and a pipeline to transport gas to the shore. OMV has secured a contract with Uniper for gas sales starting in 2027. The Romanian government aims to prioritize domestic needs before exports. The project is crucial for Romania's energy strategy and could position the country as a major gas producer in the EU, despite concerns over security in the context of hybrid warfare.
