The 500th LNG tanker truck containing liquefied natural gas loaded by PGNiG at the LNG reloading station in Klaipeda, Lithuania, drove off to the recipient. The dynamics of natural gas sales from that direction is clearly growing.

Polskie Górnictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo (PGNiG) has launched the Smart Field project, which uses advanced digital technology to support oil and gas exploration and production operations.

ORLEN Południe, an ORLEN Group company, and Polskie Górnictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo have signed a letter of intent to strengthen cooperation in the development of renewable energy sources. The companies plan to set up a special purpose vehicle that will invest in the development of a network of biomethane plants. Using agricultural and waste substrates and residues from the processing industry, state-of-the-art plants would produce environmentally friendly biomethane which could be used in the industrial or power generation sectors.

PGNiG starts the second stage of exploration works in Ras Al Khaimah Emirate. The company is at the stage of making design and location arrangements for the first exploration well, which will provide an answer to the question about the production potential of the licence where PGNiG operates.

The PGNiG Group will step up efforts intended to help bridge Poland’s energy transition and will launch initiatives to achieve climate neutrality. Its focus until 2026 will be on enhancing the availability of natural gas, with parallel work on other projects, including those designed to harness biomethane and hydrogen.

PGNiG Upstream Norway and its licence partners have started drilling production wells in the Duva field, with first production expected in the third quarter of 2021.
