Description

Improvement of the injection capacity of the seasonal storage facility and installation of compressors at UGS Sarmasel. Project may greatly

contribute to increasing the overall UGS capacity in South-East Europe by connecting Sarmasel UGS to ´Bulgaria-Romania-Hungary-Austria

Corridorµ a project developed by SNTGN Transgaz S.A. Medias, consisting of gradual construction of a new gas transmission line between Podisor

Technological Node and Horia gas metering station. The project consists of: 1 increasing the working capacity of Sarmasel UGS by 650 million m3,

up to a total of 1,550 million m3/cycle with a cushion gas of 1,130 million m3; 2 increasing the security and efficiency of Sarmasel UGS 3 increasing

the energy security by ensuring a higher volume of stored gas (increase of approximately 18%). 4 increasing the daily delivery capacity by 3 million

m3/day. 5 lowering the dependence on import gas during winter time by approximately 40% on a daily basis.
