What goes on in Poland on the 15th of December.
The Ministry of Climate and Environment ensures there is no risk of a blackout in Poland
“Currently, there is no risk of a blackout in Poland, there is no real threat to electricity supplies to consumers, and the National Power System has power reserves,” replied the Ministry of Climate and Environment to a parliamentary question.
“The situation in European energy markets may be a concern due to the high share of uncontrolled renewable energy sources in some countries’ energy mixes, while excluding their carbon and nuclear sources, which in turn could potentially lead to concerns in Europe about the occurrence of blackouts or introduction of limitations in electricity consumption for consumers. In connection with the above, the security of electricity supply to consumers, including the power balance in the National Power System, is constantly monitored and assessed by the Minister of Climate and Environment, as the minister responsible for energy. Currently, there is no real threat to electricity supplies to consumers, and power reserves are provided in the PPS,” wrote Deputy Minister of Climate and Environment Piotr Dziadzio.
PGNiG gathers data to provide Baltic Pipe with gas
PGNiG Upstream Norway drilled a well in the Norwegian Sea, but found no hydrocarbons. Instead, they collected the data needed for further work that will bring more gas to the Baltic Pipe, the gas pipeline to Poland reserved by this company.
The well was drilled by PL937 / B and PL1111 shareholder Lime Petroleum (40 percent interest) in the Fat Canyon prospectus. They were acquired as part of the acquisition of Ineos assets in Norway by PGNiG.
“Fat Canyon is one of the assets of INEOS E&P Norge, which PGNiG Upstream Norway acquired on October 1, 2021 as part of the acquisition of shares in 21 concessions on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, including those covering three already producing deposits,” explains the PGNiG press office. “At the time of the acquisition, drilling on the Fat Canyon prospectus was already underway. Although PGNiG Upstream Norway did not have high hopes for this location, the data collected during the work is a valuable material for analyses that will allow for a better understanding of the geological structure of the entire area,” the company said.
