According to the relevant ministry, the authorization issued at the request of Black Sea Oil & Gas allows geotechnical investigation activities within the corridor where the subsea pipeline, which will transport the gas obtained from the offshore Midia perimeter to the shore, will be located.
The area of the MGD project comprises the Ana and Doina gas fields located some 120 km offshore Romania in the XV Midia Shallow area where the water depths are of 70 meters.
