Directions of development of Polish gas and oil

Abstract

Period of 2000–2015 in exploration and production of hydrocarbons was not the most successful. The last major discovery of new reservoirs took place in the second half of 20th century and first half of 21st century, when the reservoirs of Kościan, Brońsko, BMB and LMG were discovered. Unfortunatelly, following years did not develop these significant discoveries. We can wonder if it was connected with the lack of exploration strategy, problems with financing or less availibility of discovering new reservoirs. The article presents the state of research both conventional unconventional hydrocarbon deposits and their directions of future research in Poland.
