Upstream E&P Strategy

• The E&P Department supports The Rompetrol Group (TRG) strategy to become an integrated oil company by identifying exploration assets both in Romania and overseas.

• Evaluate and bid for valuable exploration/production assets in Romania offered by the National Agency of Mineral Resources (NAMR).

• Expand onshore activity in North Africa, Middle East, Black Sea and Caspian regions.
