The Cetatea de Baltă gas field is a natural gas field located in Cetatea de Baltă, Alba County. It was discovered in 1900 and developed by and Romgaz. It began production in 1910 and produces natural gas and condensates. The total proven reserves of the Cetatea de Baltă gas field are around 1.42 trillion cubic feet (40 km³), and production is slated to be around 35 million cubic feet/day (1×105m³) in 2010.[1]

History

The discovery of natural gas in the Transylvanian Basin in 1909 at Sărmașel led to the establishment in 1915 of the Hungarian Gas Company (U.E.G.), with headquarters in Budapest. The company secured concession of the gas fields at Cetatea de Baltă, Șaroș, Bazna, Zau de Câmpie, Sânger, Șincai, Nadeș, and Teleac, in order to exploit and capitalize on those natural gas deposits. The Union of Transylvania with Romania at the end of World War I led to the seizure of the assets of U.E.G., whose majority capital was German.[2] By 1955, the gas field at Cetatea de Baltă was connected to the national distribution network, supplying natural gas to the capital city, Bucharest.[3]

Underground gas storage

The Cetatea de Baltă underground gas storage (UGS) site was set up in April 2002. Initially, the natural gas extraction and storage processes were supported by 8 wells, with the capacity later growing to 14 wells, to be supplemented by well number 134.[4] As of 2006, there were four UGS sites in Transylvania: at Târgu Mureș, Sărmășel, Nadeș–Prod, and Cetatea de Baltă; the depth of these storages varies from Шаблон:Cvt.[5] In 2015, the German multinational electric utility company E.ON signed an 11 million lei contract for gas storage at the Cetatea de Baltă facility for one year.[6] In 2017, a training exercise practicing intervention in case of technological accidents followed by explosions and fires at gas wells was conducted at the gas wells next to the UGS site at Cetatea de Baltă.[7] Starting in 2018, a new subsidiary of Romgaz dedicated to natural gas storage operates six UGS sites, at Bălăceanca (0.55 TWh), Bilciurești (14.33 TWh), Cetatea de Baltă (0.65 TWh), Ghercești (1.63 TWh), Sărmășel (9.6 TWh), and Urziceni (4.02 TWh).[8][9]
