The news source said that Polskie Gornictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo (PGNiG) is interested in accounting for 1.5 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas from Norwegian fields in the long term from the 0.5bcm it can produce from its existing assets in the region.
PGNiG is also seeking to increase domestic gas output, following its reassessment of its 2008 natural gas output to 4.2bcm from 4.6bcm, according to Radoslaw Dudzinski, PGNiG’s deputy president responsible for strategy.
The Polish government, which is PGNiG’s largest shareholder, has decided in favor of the state-owned pipeline operator Gaz System to build a liquefied natural gas terminal on the Baltic Sea, letting PGNiG focus on upstream investments.
