Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) of the Midia Gas Development Project, Offshore Black Sea

The project consists of the design and construction of the offshore facilities for the production of gas from the Ana and Doina Discoveries, located in XV Midia Block, a production pipeline and an onshore GTP.

An 18-km pipeline will route production from subsea well(s) at the Doina field location to a new (normally) unmanned platform at the Ana field location. A 121-km pipeline will then route the combined production from the Ana and Doina fields from the Ana platform to the shoreline, where an approximately 4.3 km pipeline (of which 4.1 km is onshore, on BSOG land) will connect to the new GTP. The processed gas will be delivered into the NTS operated by Transgaz (National Gas Transmission Operator) at the gas metering station to be found within the GTP.

Starting 2016, BSOG undertook the performance of an ESIA process for MGD Project in line with the EBRD Policy. Full disclosure of the ESIA package documentation took place on April 18th, 2019.
