Romanian Minister of Energy Bogdan Ivan has announced the completion of the 308-kilometer Tuzla–Podisor gas pipeline. This new pipeline will transport natural gas from the offshore Neptun Deep field directly into Romania’s gas network and continue through the BRHA corridor to Hungary, Austria, and other neighboring countries.
With an annual capacity exceeding 8 billion cubic meters, the pipeline is a key component of Romania’s strategy to develop its Black Sea gas reserves. By utilizing domestic energy sources, the government aims to reduce dependence on imports and enhance the country’s energy security.
The project was initiated by the natural gas transmission system operator Transgaz in 2023. Alongside this development, Transgaz is also working to expand gas interconnections with neighboring countries to further integrate Romania into the regional gas market.
