During January – April 2017, Romania’s gas imports reached 542,100 tonnes of oil equivalent (toe), with 251,1 percent (387,700 toe) more than the similar period of 2016, National Institute of Statistics (INS) data show.

Domestic gas production in the first four months of this year totaled 2.78 million toe, 2.3 percent (63,500 toe) over the same period last year.

According to the Romania’s Energy Strategy, the annual gas output is expected to fall slightly to an average of 9-10 billion cubic meters for the 2016-2030 period.

The document points out that gas production will decrease after reaching a new peak of 132 TWh in 2025 due to Black Sea production, at 96 TWh in 2030 and 65 TWh in 2050.

The low price scenarios foresee a drop to zero in gas production as of 2045.

I started my way in life with the intention to pursue a teaching career. But, after graduating from the Faculty of Letters – the University of Bucharest in 2004, my first job as a reporter at one of the leading newspapers in Romania changed my perspective. I have specialized in communication and communication campaigns, following the Master's courses at the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Studies (FJSC), attending a BBC Communications scholarship.
I’ve represented several important publications in Romania as business journalist, being accredited in the finance and banking field. In 2015, I had the opportunity to interview the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Mission Chief for Romania, Andrea Schaechter. As business journalist, I also had the opportunity to interview ministers for Economics and Commercial
Affairs offices within different embassies in Romania or officials of large companies investing on the domestic market.
After almost 15 years of journalism, I still want to explore new ways, to inform and stay updated. That’s why The Romania Journal project fits me so well.
Today I describe myself as a passionate about the history of world culture, having a PhD in Hebrew Culture and Civilization, after a scholarship at the University of Haifa International School, as a language addict, an environmental activist, pet lover and traveler.
