NIS Continues Exploitation of Gas in Srbobran – Ministry of Environmental Protection Gives Green Light

The Provincial Secretariat for Urban Planning and Environmental Protection has notified the public that it has adopted the decision to approve the Study of the assessment of the environmental impact of the project of determining the as-is state and continuation of the exploitation of gas and condensate at the exploitation field of Srbobran.

In the territory of the municipality of Srbobran, according to the Study from January this year, NIS has two fields for the exploitation of hydrocarbon – Turija Sever and Srbobran.

At the exploitation field Srbobran – sites Pz+Bd+Sm-1 and Pz+Bd-2, the boreholes Sr-008 and Sr-009 are operational, and the entire exploitation field consists of 6 boreholes.

The exploitation of gas and condensate from the oil and gas field Srbobran began in 1974 and the gas is used for the production of electrical energy, whereas the condensate is transported by cisterns to the collection and dispatching station Turija Sever, and then by auto-cisterns from there to the Pancevo Refinery.

The average production values of gas from the boreholes of the exploitation field Srbobran, according to the data from December 2020, amount to 10,000 Sm3 a day from the borehole Sr-008 and 22,000 Sm3 a day from the borehole Sr-009.

As said, the gas at the site Pz+Bd+Sm-1 is composed of a mixture of hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide, but the composition of the gas is changing with years, especially in the sense of the increase of the share of the CO2 component, which has directly led to the lowering of the heating value of the gas.

NIS has emphasized on several occasions that, from the exploration of hydrocarbons, which are in fact crude oil and gas, it expects a new production of these energy sources.
