2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

Romgaz  Group  recorded  in  2018  a  revenue  of  RON  5,004.2  million,  increasing  by  9.14%             
(RON 419.0 million) as compared to the previous year. 

The Net Profit of RON 1,366.2 million was by RON 480.7 million lower than the net profit for 
2017 when it recorded an 81.03% increase than in 2016. Following factors influenced the net 
profit: 

  Increase by 51% of petroleum royalty expenses (RON 445 million in 2018 as compared 
to RON 294 million in 2017) as a result of National Agency of Mineral Resources Order 
no.32/20181  whereby  the  reference  price  used  to  calculate  the  royalty  becomes  the 
reference price of index CEGH (Central European Gas Hub) Austria; 

  Increase by RON 164 million (43%) of the windfall tax further to the deregulation of 

prices in the gas sector; 

  Gas  field  assets  impairment  of  RON  142  million  as  a  result  of  an  internal  analysis 

regarding their profitability;  

  RON  47  million  impairment  of  the  current  Iernut  powerplant  further  to  an  internal 

analysis regarding its profitability; 

  Doubling exploration costs representing 3D seismic services for the discovery of new 

reserves (RON 98 million in 2018 as compared to RON 48 million in 2017); 

The consolidated net profit per share was RON 3.54.  

The achieved margins of the consolidated net profit (27.3%), consolidated EBIT (30.6%) and 
consolidated  EBITDA  (44.8%)  confirm  that  the  Group  continues  to  maintain  a  high 
profitability. 

In  2018,  Romgaz  Group  made  investments  of  RON  1,188.5  million,  by  47%  (RON  368.2 
million) higher than in 2017 and the value of the fixed assets commissioned was RON 326.6 
million. 

In 2018, Romania’s natural gas consumption  and Romgaz deliveries were similar to the level 
of the previous year,  recording a slight evolution, according to ANRE and to the company’s 
consumption estimations2. 

Natural  gas  production  increased  for  the  second  consecutive  year,  being  higher  by  3.39% 
namely 175 million m3 than the production recorded in 2017 (5,333 million m3 in 2018 vs 5,158 
million  m3  in  2017).  This  production,  according  to  estimations,  ensured  Romgaz  a  50.67% 
market  share  of  internal  gas  deliveries  for  consumption,  and  a  45.98%  market  share  of 
deliveries for the total consumption of Romania. 

The  2018  Romgaz  electricity  production  was  1,165.2  GW  by  37.48%  lower  than  2017 
production because of the units’ unavailability due to works on the new power plant and to high 
gas demand for consumption and storage. According to Transelectrica, Romgaz’ market share 
is 1.83%. 

1 NAMR Order 32/February 9, 2018 on approving the methodology for setting the reference price for the gas 
produced in Romania 
2 As ANRE did not publish the gas market monitoring reports from December 2018, the data used for national 
consumption are estimated data.

2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

Note: the information are not consolidated; these include the transactions between Romgaz and Depogaz. 
*) – as regards Romgaz-Schlumberger  association, produced gas is fully included in Romgaz production, and then 
split  in  equal  shares  between  the  two  partners,  and  traded  separately.  With  respect  to  the  joint  ventures  with 
Raffles Energy and Amromco, the produced gas does not represent Romgaz production but the value of gas is 
reflected in Romgaz revenue, proportionally with its respective participating interest share in the joint ventures. 
**)include Romgaz natural gas withdrawal/injection services 

Natural  gas  production  lies  in  the  parameters  forecasted  in  the  2018  program,  achieving 
101.6% of the planned production (5,333 million m3 – achieved vs 5,250 million m3 – planned). 

The production level was maintained by the ongoing production rehabilitation projects of the 
main  fields,  workover  and  recompletion  operations  for  130  wells,  installing  new  gathering 
pipelines and compression units and bringing into production new fields.  

The natural gas production evolution during 1997-2018 is shown below:

Romgaz electricity production decreased by 37.48% as compared to the similar period of 2017, 
as  noticed  in  the  data  shown  below,  is  due  to  the  unavailability  of  the  units  for  the  works 
performed at the new power plant and the high gas demand for consumption and storage.

*)  In  2018  the  Group  voluntarily  modified  the  accounting  policy  regarding  recognition  of  costs  with  seismic, 
geological, geophysical works and other similar operations. According to the new policy such costs are recognised 
as  expense  when  they  are  incurred.  Previously,  such  costs  were  recognised  as  exploration  intangible  assets. 
Information on previous periods were restated to ensure comparability with the current period. At the same time 
the Group modified in 2018 the calculation method of the well decommissioning provision, replacing average cost 
of  equity  with  the  related  interest  rate  of  the  10  year  liability  government  bonds  as  liability  discount  rate,  in 
compliance with industry practices. Moreover, in 2018 the Group reanalysed the depreciation of the gas cushion 

3 comprises own gas from domestic production, including gas delivered to CTE Iernut and Cojocna, 50% of the 
gas from Schlumberger joint venture and gas purchased from the domestic production of other producers

recorded as non-current asset and concluded that it should not have been depreciated; the correction affected the 
previous periods, therefore they have been restated in order to make them comparable to the current period. The 
information related to the quarters were not restated to reflect the gas cushion correction; the estimated value of 
the depreciation per quarter is RON 2.3 million, the quarterly result shown above is smaller by that amount.  More 
information on these restatements are shown in the consolidated and individual financial statements annexed to 
this report. 

 **)  EBIT and  EBITDA  for  2017, those  related to  Q4  2017 respectively  and  their margins  are  adjusted  by  the 
income recorded  following  the  completion  in 2017  of  the  fiscal audit related  to  excise, taking  into account  the 
single nature of such income  

Since  November  12,  2013  the  company’s  shares  have  been  traded  on  the  regulated  market 
governed by BVB (Bucharest Stock Exchange) under the “SNG” symbol, and the GDRs on the

off-shore petroleum operations. 

December 21, 2018 

The  initial  volume of proved reserves  increased  further to investments made at some natural 
gas commercial fields governed by petroleum agreements, therefore the time period necessary 
for their valorisation is higher than initially estimated (that lied under the legal limit of 30 years 
provided by the Petroleum Law 238/2004). 

In this respect, the Romanian Government approved on December 21, 2018: 

  Addenda to the Petroleum Concession Agreements for development-production; 
  Petroleum  Concession  Agreements  for  production  concluded  between  the  National 

Agency for Mineral Resources and Romgaz for 11 commercial fields. 

The approval of these petroleum agreements confirms the existence of the concession rights 
and consequently the right to produce from these blocks, eliminating the risk mentioned in the 
Initial Public Offering Prospectus related to the validity of these petroleum agreements.

2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

Romgaz Group undertakes business in the following segments: 

  natural gas exploration and production; 
  UGS activity (the Subsidiary); 
  natural gas supply; 
  special well operations and services; 
  maintenance and transportation services; 
  power generation and supply; 
  natural gas distribution. 

In Romania Romgaz is titleholder or co-titleholder of the following petroleum agreements: 
  as tiltleholder of petroleum operations for exploration-development-production in 9 

blocks with  100% participating interest and in 4 blocks as co-titleholder under certain 
concession agreements; 
  154 commercial fields; 
  exploration and production rights in Slovakia. 

Exploration 
Since October 1997, the exploration activity has been carried out in 8 blocks in Transylvania, 
Moldova, Muntenia, and Oltenia, in accordance with the Concession Agreement approved by 
Government Decision No 23/2000.  
In 2018, six exploration wells out of ten were tested with gas and temporarily abandoned until 
the necessary infrastructure is constructed to turn these into experimental and final production. 
The  success  rate  of  60%  lies  within  the  average  margin  of  35%-65%  recorded  in  the 
international hydrocarbon production activity. 
3,000 million m3 turned from prospective resources to contingent resources by well 7 Merii and 
well 4 Tapu. 
Romgaz designs and plans all exploration works based on its own concepts by using modern 
professional  software,  assessments  of  the  geological  area’s  prospectivity  displaying  specific 
features  within  the  blocks  under  concession.  These  are  performed  by  using  specific  surface 
exploration  methods  to  identify  the  areas  with  hydrocarbon  accumulations  (prospects), 
followed by exploration drilling to prove the presence of accumulations. 
The results materialised in 2012in the highest reserve replacement ratios of 323%. 

The table below shows the evolution of the reserves replacement ratio during 2009-2018:

Reserves replacement ratio was influenced by the reduced volume of updated commercial 
fields and by postponing investments in the infrastructure necessary for commissioning 
production facilities.  

Production 

The 2018 annual program for petroleum operations considered the 
gas  demand  dynamics,  reactivation,  recompletion  and  workover 
operations, bringing in production wells resulted from exploration 
activities  and  production  wells,  maintenance  programs  of 
compressor stations and of dehydration stations, commissioning of 
new compressor units and the dynamics of import gas flows injected 
into/withdrawn from UGS. 

The company’s gas production was higher than the 2017 production (5,333 million m3 vs 5,158 
million m3). According to estimates, this production ensured Romgaz a 50.67% market share 
of  internal  production  gas  deliveries  for  consumption  and  a  45.98%  share  of  deliveries  for 
Romania’s total consumption. 
The  production  of  5,333  million  m3  was  by  3.4%,  namely  175  million  m3  higher  than  the 
planned one, triggered by: 
investments made for extension/upgrading of surface facilities; commissioning a new metering 
panel  for  delivering  gas  into  the  NTS  and  a  new  gathering  pipeline  for  Caragele  led  to  a 
production increase of 500 thousand m3/day; 
continuous  production  rehabilitation  of  the  main  mature  fields  Filitelnic,  Delenii,  Laslău, 
Sădinca,  Nadeş-Prod-Seleuş,  Roman,  Corunca  Sud,  Târgu  Mureş,  Grebeniş,  Piscu  Stejari-
Hurezani; 
bringing in new wells, performing workover and well recompletion operations.  

In 2018 Romania had 8 UGSs in depleted gas reservoirs out 
of which 7 were in operation. Romgaz owns and operates 6 
UGSs  having  a  total  capacity  of  4.335  billion  m3  and  a 
working gas volume of 2.920 billion m3. 

Nationally, the ratio between the working gas volume and the annual consumption was about 
22% in 2018. This level is in the first upper half of the international values chart of Europe.   
In 2018 the ratio of stored gas volumes to the working volume of the UGS’s was 69%. 
The UGS activity performed by Depogaz Subsidiary is a business segment regulated by 
ANRE (National Authority for Energy Regulation) with regard to UGS operators’ licensing 
and the access to the UGSs, as well as setting the tariffs related to UGS activity.

2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

After a thorough restructuring, the natural gas sector is currently 
split into independent activities. The Romanian natural gas market 
includes  a  NTS  operator  (Transgaz),  producers  (Romgaz  and 
Petrom with a 97% market share), UGS operators, companies for 
the  distribution  and  supply  of  gas to  non-eligible  customers,  and 
suppliers on the wholesale market. 

The  natural gas  market in  Romania consists of the  competition segment, which  includes gas 
trading  activities  between  suppliers  and  between  suppliers  and  eligible  consumers,  and  the 
regulated  segment,  which  includes  monopoly-like  activities  performed  in  accordance  with 
framework contracts (transmission, underground storage, distribution and supply at a regulated 
price).  
In terms of supply, Romgaz held during 2010-2018 a national market share ranging between 
37 and 46%:

The above quantities include gas from own internal production, domestic gas purchased from 
third  parties,  100%  gas  from  Schlumberger  joint  venture  and  import  gas.  As  compared  to 
previous  years,  2018  deliveries  include  gas  delivered  to  Iernut  and  Cojocna  for  electricity 
production, as well as technological consumption.  

SIRCOSS was set up in 2003 in accordance with the GSM Resolution No5/June 13, 2003.  

The branch performs two types of activities:  

  well workover, recompletion operations and production tests; 

  special well operations. 

All well workover, recompletion operations and production tests operations are performed by 
means of rig installations. 

The second activity consists of special well operations, namely services supplied by means of 
different transportable equipment for downhole or surface operations. 

During  the  past  years,  most  of  services  were  supplied  for  the  wells  within  the  company’s 
portfolio, yet, well workover and special well operations were also supplied to other companies 
that have under concession and operate gas wells in Romania. 

STTM was established in October 2003, by taking over the means of transportation from Medias, 
Targu-Mures and Ploiesti branches. 

The  branch’s  scope  of  activity  is  the  transportation  of  goods  and  people,  the  specific 
technological transportation, and the maintenance activity for the benefit of the company and 
of third parties.

CTE Iernut is an important junction point in the National Power Grid located in the centre of 
the country, in Mures County on the left bank of Mures River between towns Iernut and Cuci. 
Gas supply, industrial water and power discharge facilities are forthcoming. 

CTE Iernut is operated under Sucursala de Producţie Energie Electrică (SPEE). 

CTE Iernut has an installed capacity of 600 MW split into 4 energy groups: two 100 MW energy 
units  of  Czechoslovakian  manufacturing  and  two  200  MW  energy  units  of  Soviet 
manufacturing.  The  groups  were  commissioned  between  1963  and  1967.  As  of  January  20, 
2019 the energy units 2 and 3 of 100 MW were excluded from CTE Iernut.  

Cojocna Project is an outcome of the pressing need of finding ways to experimentally produce 
from a series of wells resulted from exploratory drilling, in order to determine, as detailed as 
possible, the production potential of such area. The wells were located far from each other and 
from the National Transmission System (NTS). 

Therefore, the gas from wells Palatca 1, Vaida 1 and 2 is used as fuel gas for two electricity 
generation units, each having 1.5 MW power. 

The  natural  gas  distribution  is  a  regulated  business  segment  and  the  company’s  activity  is 
currently limited to Ghercesti and Piscu Stejari areas. Romgaz has concession agreements with 
the Ministry of Economy for Ghercesti area and with Piscu Stejari Town Hall for Piscu Stejari 
distribution. The activity is carried out by Targu-Mures Branch. 

Societatea Nationala de Gaze Naturale “ROMGAZ” SA is 
Romania’s  most  important  natural  gas  producer  and 
supplier.  The  company’s  experience  in  the  field  of  gas 
exploration  and  production  exceeds  100  years.  Its  history 
began  in  1909  when  the  first  natural  gas  commercial 
reservoir was discovered  in the Transylvanian Basin upon 
the drilling of well Sarmasel-2. 

The most important historic benchmarks are:

Unbundling of underground gas storage activity 
In  compliance  with  European  and  national  applicable  laws,  Directive  2009/73/EC5  and  Gas 
Law  No  123/20126      Romgaz  has  to  legally  unbundle  the  gas  storage  activity  from  gas 
production and supply activities. 

According to the provisions of article 141, paragraph 1 of the Law (which transcribes article 
15,  paragraph  1  of  the  Directive)  a  storage  operator  under  a  vertically  integrated  economic 
operator must be independent from other activities not related to transmission, distribution and 
underground  storage  activities  at  least  from  legal,  organizational  and  decision-making 
perspective. 

Therefore, considering the above mentioned matters, it is compulsory to legally unbundle the 
gas  storage  activity  from  the  gas  production  and  supply  activities  performed  by  Romgaz  by 
establishing a separate company to act as independent storage operator.  

The Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders approved by Resolution no.10/19.12.2014 
(item 2) to set up  the subsidiary “SNGN ROMGAZ SA - Filiala de Înmagazinare Gaze Naturale 
“Depogaz” Ploieşti S.R.L.”. 

The subsidiary became operational as of April 1, 2018.

3.4.2. Sales  
Sales’ evolution and perspective 

The entire quantity of gas traded by Romgaz was sold on the internal market. Romgaz traded 
quantities delivered on free market both by bilateral negotiation and on the centralized market. 
Quantities delivered during 2018 have been traded 60% on the Romanian centralized market.

From the total of quantities of gas delivered to third parties the following available means of 
trade have been used: 

  gas delivered on the basis of contracts concluded on centralized markets: 35.99 TWh; 
  gas delivered on the basis of bilateral contracts: 19.01 TWh 

Even  if  ROMGAZ’s  gas  production  increased,  the  volumes  delivered  in  2018  recorded  a 
sensitive decrease, approximately 99% as compared to those recorded in 2017 and the volumes 
from own production reaching 97% as compared to 2017.  

Nevertheless, gas delivered to third parties  increased by 2.8%, mainly due to contribution of 
quantities  of  import  gas  and  decrease  of  the  quantities  delivered  to  CET  Iernut.  It  is  worth 
mentioning the increase of traded import gas with 150 million m3 beyond the level of 2017; this 
increase partially compensated the decrease of gas volumes traded from underground storages 
that was of approximately 250 million m3. At the same time, the quantity of gas used at CET 
Iernut  decreased  by  64%  as  compared  to  2017,  namely  approximately  200  million  m3.  The 
status of deliveries and sources is shown in the table from pages 4-5.  

As regards the means of trading through Romanian centralized markets, Romgaz’s weight was 
significant, approximately 54% of the total of gas traded on these markets with delivery in 2018  
were sold by Romgaz. In terms of quantity, Romgaz traded over 35 TWh with delivery in 2018   
on centralized markets, from the total of 65 TWh, representing the total transactions performed 
on these markets with the same period of delivery.  

Starting  with  September  2018  the  short  term  centralized  markets  became  operational  and 
Romgaz started to be active on the day ahead market, respectively intraday market in order to 
optimize the sales on one hand and to balance the portfolio, on the other hand.  

For 2019 the perspectives for the company’s gas trades are characterized by: 

  conclusion during 2018 of contracts with delivery in 2019 for approximately 60% of the 

sales estimates for this year; 

  the  large  majority  of  gas  quantity  has  been  contracted  on  centralized  market, 
approximately 60%, maintaining the percentage of 2018. For gas traded on centralized 
markets with delivery in 2019, Romgaz obtained an annual weighted average price of 
RON 91/MWh, similar with the price obtained on the market (considering all available 
sources,  average  prices  obtained  by  other  sellers  in  the  market  especially  competing 
producers or competing sources from import);

2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

  Uncertainties  occurred  by  GEO  no.114/20187  including  measures  that  significantly 
affects the company’s business, especially  by capping the price at RON 68/MWh  for 
gas  sold  from  current  domestic  production  and  enforcing  the  contribution  of  2%  on 
revenue.  The  impact  over  Romgaz’s  business  will  be  determined  following  the 
preparation of secondary legislation by ANRE.  

  Implementation  of  projects  that  will  increase  the  capacities  of  exporting  gas  from 
Romania to other countries (especially to Hungary and Bulgaria), which would lead to 
a  proper  interconnection  of  gas  transmission  networks  from  Romania  and  would 
represent an alternative in terms of gas trade. This aspect must be viewed in connection 
with the regulation framework that will be prepared by applying GEO no. 114/2018.  

We  estimate  the  preservation  of  gas  production  and  sales,  corroborated  with  a  decrease  of 
energy production at CET Iernut for 2019 considering the works that will be performed to put 
the new power plant into operation.  

Given  GEO  no.  114/2018  and  the  secondary  legislative  framework,  Romgaz  estimates  an 
increase  of  total  gas  demand  on  the  market,  especially  due  to  stimulating  consumption  at  a 
regulated price below the current price level, both on household market and, especially on the 
industrial customer market.  

The competitive status and share in the market of the company’s products and services  

During 2018, the Romanian gas market continued to apply the European regulations in the field, 
especially for the preparation and application of Network Code, in accordance with Regulation 
312/2014  on  balancing  the  gas  transmission  systems.  The  entire  secondary  legislation 
necessary to implement the entry-exit system has been prepared, and the Virtual Transaction 
Point  and  short term  markets  became  operational, on  one  hand,  and  long  and  medium  term 
markets of standardized products became operational as well, on the other hand.  

On gas market, as regards the sources, the competition was favourable for internal producers, 
considering the prices relatively high for import gas. However, the additional gas demand and 
the  suppliers’  obligations  related  to  gas  storage  as  well  led  to  creation  of  opportunities  for 
import gas.   

According to the company’s estimates, the national gas demand remained at an approximatively 
constant level as compared to 2017. Import of gas on the Romanian market recorded an increase 
by approx. 16 TWh, while the quantities imported by Romgaz were of approximately 2 TWh. 
These increased quantities together with the additional Romgaz  production compensated the 
lower quantities delivered on the market by the other participants in the market.  

In accordance with the data provided by the system operator, the national electricity production 
was of 63,933,510 MWh in 2018. On this market, Romgaz held a market share of 1.82% below 
the share of 37.67% recorded in the previous year.

2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

As  regards  the  generation  sources,  during  November  2018,  the  electricity  was  produced  by 
(approximate levels, ANRE source, market reports): 

  30% hydro; 
  22 % coal; 
  18 % nuclear; 
  15% gas; 
  15 % renewable sources and other producers 

The situation of Romanian gas market allowed the company to have an extended portfolio of 
customers  both  on  centralized  markets  and  as  regards  the  contracting  by  direct  negotiation. 
Moreover,  the  company  has  a  balanced  portfolio  as  regards  the  ratio  of  the  final  consumer 
market (especially the power plants) to wholesale market where it sells gas to suppliers.  

3.4.3. Prices and Tariffs 

The regulatory framework for natural gas production, transmission, distribution, supply and 
storage,  organization  and  operation  of  the  gas  sector,  market  access  as  well  as  criteria  and 
procedures for granting authorizations and/or licenses in the natural gas sector are set by Law 
No 123/2012. 

Romgaz  Group operates  both  on regulated  market,  performing  underground  gas  storage  and 
distribution activities, and  on the  free  market, performing gas  and electricity production and 
supply activities. 

Underground Gas Storage (UGS) 

The revenues from the underground storage business and the storage tariffs are regulated since 
April 1, 2004, by ANRGN Decision no. 1078/2003, abrogated by ANRE Order no. 22 of May 
25, 2012 on approval of the Methodology for approving prices and setting regulated tariffs in 
the gas sector, published in the Official Gazette of Romania no. 379 of June 6, 2012.    

The storage tariffs applied for the two compared periods are those approved by ANRE Order 
no. 58 of March 27, 2015 (between January 1, 2017 and March 31, 2018) and ANRE Order no. 
58 of March 29, 2018 (starting on April 1, 2018), respectively.  

There must be mentioned that ANRE Order no.9 of March 23, 2016 and Order no. 19 of March 
30, 2017 extended the term for applying Order No. 58/2015.  

The storage tariffs applied are described in the table below:

Natural Gas Supply  

The final gas price for the customer is the sum of the weighted average gas acquisition price, 
the tariffs of transmission, storage and distribution, and the trading component, according to 
the following formula: 

Final price = Weighted average price of gas acquisition + Transmission tariff + Storage tariff 
+ Distribution tariff + Trading component 

The distribution tariffs depend on the distribution area and on the distribution system operator. 
Regulated  prices  and  tariffs  are  calculated  by  the  “revenue-cap”  method  for  underground 
storage  and  gas  transmission  and  by  the  “price-cap”  method  for  regulated  distribution  and 
supply. 
According to the provisions of Article 181, paragraph (5) of Law No. 123/2012, the domestic 
gas acquisition price on the regulated market is set by Government Decision, at the proposal 
of  the  competent  ministry,  and  is  updated  by  ANRE  and  ANRM,  in  accordance  with  the 
provisions of the Calendar for gradual deregulation of prices for the final customers.

2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

  6 persons participated in qualification courses at work place.   

During  2018, the  professional  training  activity  focused  mainly  on  sustaining  the  increase  of 
adaptability to new economy requirements based on knowledge, in order to ensure and update 
the  required  competencies  for  employees  working  in  the  technical,  economic  and  research-
development field etc. 

Within Romgaz there are two trade unions, as follows:  

   “Sindicatul Liber din cadrul S.N.G.N. Romgaz S.A.”, consisting of 6,146 members; 

  “Sindicatul Extracţie Gaze şi Servicii”, consisting of 10 members.  

Thus, the total number of union members within Romgaz Group is 6,156 as compared to 6,214 
representing the total number of employees. The union members/total number of employees 
ratio is 99.07%. 

Relationship between manager and employees: following negotiations, the parties have agreed 
to conclude a Collective Labour Agreement, valid for 2017 and 2018. On November 28, 2018, 
by an addendum, the parties set the extension of the Collective Labour Agreement concluded 
by  SNGN  Romgaz  SA,  registered  at  Territorial  Labour  Inspectorate  Sibiu  under  no 
22606/28.12.2016, valid from December 29, 2018 until December 28, 2019.  

During  2018,  there  were  two  conflicts  between  the  management  and  the  trade  union,  in 
progress on December 31, 2018 (see Annex 2 – Litigations: Items 55 and 384).  

In  2018,  the  environment  protection  activity  continued  to  focus  on  compliance  of  Group’s 
business with the applicable legal requirements on environment protection. Another aim was 
meeting specific objectives related to: 

  Increase of awareness regarding compliance with legal requirements;  

  Pursuing the accomplishment of all reports imposed by the environment legislation in 
force, by centralizing the information required and reported by Romgaz Branches and 
submitted to public authorities; 

  Rendering efficiency to environment protection, a support for the management process.  

The environment protection activities during 2018 focused on: 

  Complying with permitting requirements: 

  Complying with legal requirements relating to environment permits for all 144 units. 
In  this  respect, the  conformity  degree  is  100%.Thus,  for  6  units  the  company  has 
required  and  obtained  the  review  of  the  permits,  for  7  units  reauthorisation  was 
requested  and  obtained,  for  4  units  documents  for  temporary  interruption  of  the 
activity  have  been  submitted  and  for  7  units  documents  for  abandoning  gas 
production wells;  

  Complying with legal requirements regarding waste water management permits, for:  

  88 units,  for which the conformity degree  is 100%  to be noted that for 7 
units re-authorization permits are in process of being obtained, for 13 units 
a  point  of  view  for  necessity  of  reauthorisation  was  requested    and  for  2 
objectives abandoning documentation was submitted;

the 

 The  Program  aims  at  identifying  the  objectives,  targets  and  policy  actions  the  company  is 
required  to  comply  with  in  its  waste  management  activity  in  order  to  fulfil  the  company’s 
strategic objectives. 

  Monitoring  the  compliance  with  legal  requirements  on  environment  protection.  In  2018 
Romgaz  did  not  exceed  the  limits  permitted  by  regulations  in  force,  with  the  effluents 
discharged into surface water bodies or sewage networks;  

In 2018, three external environment complaints was recorded, as follows: 

  Pollution with oil products into the Mures river. It has been strictly pursued the 
implementation of all measures imposed by the two regulation authorities in the 
field,  namely  the  Water  Basin  Administration  Mures  and  the  National 
Environmental Guard of Mures County, requested by finding documents. With 
due urgency, Romgaz undertook all necessary measures to minimise the effects 
of  pollution  with  oil  products  and  determined  technical  and  organizational 
measures to prevent these type of event; 

  Non-compliance with some legal requirements related to a proper management 
of  reservoir  water-  structure  Petis  (well  11  Petis)  and  infringement  of  rules 

Page 32 of 80 

 
 
 
 
 
2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

related to tonnage access and legal speed admitted on the access roads to well 
11 Petis. In this respect, in accordance with the CEO’s Decision no 91/2018, a 
Commission  has  been  established  to  verify  the  event.  This  complaint  was 
partially unjustified, the pollution with reservoir water was not found, this being 
properly managed by the company. For the aspects related to access to wells and 
in order to prevent this kind of incidents, an operational procedure on “Works to 
ensure access, to prepare the well site for the units where works at the well are 
to be performed” has been prepared, thus ensuring the collaboration with local 
authorities for the access to  wells locations using public roads;  

  Pollution with reservoir water and hydrocarbons  on the plaintiff’s  land FPGN 
Oniscani.  Following  the  internal  inspections,  analysis  of  the  soil  samples, 
resulted  that  the  values/hydrocarbons  samples  or  chloride  content  were  not 
exceeded,  the  conclusion  being  that  there  was  no  pollution  generated  by 
Romgaz’s activity. In this respect, the plaintiff and the National Environment 
Guard Mures County have been notified over the conclusion of expertise;  

  After extending the scope of business by taking over Iernut thermoelectric power plant, the 
aim was complying with the legal requirements applicable in this field of activity, in 2018 
being monitored the emissions for burners IMA 1, 4, 5.  

As of  December 31, 2018, Romgaz held in the account of the Sole Register of Greenhouse 
Gas Emissions a number of 279,103 CO2 certificates. 

Romgaz  acquired  as  linking  availability  (availability  of  EUA  –  ERU  certificates 
correlation)  a  number  of  51,598  ERU  certificates  available  to  be  used  for  conformity 
during 2013 – 2020.     

According to Decision No.1096 of December 17, 2013 for the approval of provisional free 
allocation of greenhouse certificates to electricity producers during 2013-2020, as operator, 
Romgaz received CO2 certificates, as follows:

  based on the recommendations made by the Due Diligence Study, performed with the aim 
of  establishing  the  conformity  level  of  the  company  to  the  environmental  legislation  in 
force,  identification  of  past  and  present  environmental  issues,  as  well  as  future 
environmental risks the company  may  face, a Report on Significant Environment Issues 
Remediation was prepared whereby costs, solutions and implementation terms for remedy 
measures  were  assumed.  In  2018,  Romgaz  continued  to  monitor  the  implementation  of 
permanent measures and of multiannual implementation terms measures contained in the 
Remediation Report (maintaining the perchloroethylene consumption below 1 ton/year for 
each  location  so  that  the  provisions  of  Government  Decision  no.  699/2003  on  setting

  scheduling  and  organizing  the  environmental  internal  inspection,  in  order  to  verify  the 

conformity with legal requirements applicable to inspected activities.   

In  2018,  46  environmental  internal  inspections  were  scheduled  and  performed  from 
Romgaz headquarters on authorized units of the branches, further to which 16 Reports of 
Determined Nonconformity were made, out of which 11 were closed within assumed time 
limit,  5  open  (within  assumed  time  limit).  Also,  Romgaz’s  activity  complies  with  the 
applicable  environment  legal  requirements,  in  2018  the  degree  of  fulfilment  identified 
further the application of an evaluation method was 98.77%, this representing a very good 
value indicating a potential of improvement;   

  assessment of conformity level to environmental protection requirements and contractual 
requirements of contractors and sub-contractors of drilling works contracted by Romgaz in 
2018; 

  implementation of the 2018 action/measure programs for prevention and/or minimization 
impact  on  the  environment,  that  were  implemented  as  follows:  landslide  fighting; 
modernization  of    reservoir  water  storage tanks;  installing  waste  water  collection  tanks; 
transforming abandoned wells into reservoir water injection wells and so on.  

In 2018, the Environmental Guard and the Water Basin Administrations made 70 inspections 
at Romgaz locations. Following such inspections, the company paid fines of RON 75,000 due 
to: 

  accidental pollution with oil products (emulsion) into Mures river, on April 13, 2018. 
The incident did not cause fishing mortality, all subsequently measures imposed by the 
authorities being implemented. Also, due to this ecological hazard, the company paid 
the  expenses  in  the  amount  of  RON  183,200 related to operations  of    depollution  of 
Mures river performed by Apele Romane; 

  non-compliance  with  legal  requirements  regarding  the  authorization  of  activities 
submitted  for  environment  permitting  on  July  20,  2018  when  National  Environment 
Guard of Harghita County was notified over the incident occurred at well 25 Chedea. 
By the time of the inspection performed by authorities, well 25 Chedea was not included 
in the environment  permit, being put  into function  in 2017. Therefore, the company 
paid a fine in the amount of RON 30,000 (RON 15,000 paid in 48 hours).   

During 2018, the competent state institutions, namely the Territorial Labour Inspectorates made 
3 inspections. No deficiencies were noted.   

Individual  protection  equipment  was  acquired,  based  on  the  framework  agreements  and 
subsequent contracts, for all the employees of the company.  

Also, a number of 3,985 influenza vaccine doses were acquired, in accordance with the demand 
of the branches/headquarters. 

According  to  the  Collective  Labour  Contract,  voluntary  health  insurance  services  were 
acquired,  of  supplementary  type,  for  all  the  employees.  The  contract  for  voluntary  health 
insurance services concluded by the company expired on December 27, 2018 and by the date 
of this report no contract has been signed.

2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

The occurrence and thereafter the development and gradual diversification of what was truly 
going to be the Romanian natural gas infrastructure has an important benchmark,  year 1909, 
when the first gas reservoir was discovered by drilling well 2 Sarmasel (Mures county).  

During the immediately following years, a gas infrastructure unique in Europe for those times 
started to outline at a reduced scale, consisting of the following assets: 

  gas  transmission  pipeline,  the  first  of  this  kind  in  Europe,  build  in  1914, 

connecting  towns Sarmasel and Turda (Cluj county), and 

  gas compressor station from Sarmasel; build in 1927- the first one in Europe. 

It is notable that the country’s large gas structures were discovered after 1960 and in parallel, a 
complex infrastructure started to be developed at national scale dedicated exclusively to the gas 
extraction process and later to the injection and underground storage process. These large gas 
structures located in the Transylvanian basin supply even today considerable gas quantities.  

The infrastructure related to field production and to gas storage in depleted fields turned into 
underground storages, looks today as a particularly complex system. 

As a whole, the infrastructure of the company developed continuously before and after 1989. 
The development of the production capacities reached the peak during 1970–1980 when the 
annual  production  was  extremely  high,  both  due  to  the  consumption  demand  and  to  the 
considerable reservoir energy of most of the discovered gas fields. 

Part  of  the  company’s  production  infrastructure  (assets)  resulted  from  the  nationalisation  of 
June 1948.  

Currently, no natural or legal person, from the country or from abroad, claimed any asset of 
Romgaz. 

Although  operational,  most  of  the  production  facilities  are  several  decades  old,  therefore,  a 
rehabilitation  and  modernisation  process  started  a  few  years  ago  consisting  of  installing, 
replacing  or  upgrading  gas  delivery/take  over  fiscal  panels,  gas  dehydration  stations,  gas 
compressor stations. 

The production facilities relating to the company’s infrastructure are: 

1. Gas wells (currently producing wells, temporarily suspended wells waiting for reactivation 
or recompletion operations, wells for reservoir water injection); 

2. Pipelines (gathering pipelines connecting the well clusters, waste water pipelines, industrial 
water pipelines); 

3. Gas heaters (radiators); 

4. Gas separators (underground separators, surface separators); 

5. Flow metering panels (technological flow metering panels for almost every gas field,  fiscal 
or commercial flow metering panel located at the interface with the NTS); 

6. Gas dehydration stations (conditioning): 

7. Gas compression units: 

- 

low capacity portable compressors installed at the well head or at the cluster, 

• 

booster compressors for one or more fields, and 

Page 36 of 80 

 
 
 
 
2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

• 

gas compressor stations, usually consisting of two or more units, intermediate 
or final compressor stations (outlet to the NTS); 

8.  Industrial or reservoir water pumping stations; 
9.  Other facilities (buildings, workshops, electric lines, well access roads etc.). 

Production facilities are used at their maximum capacity (close to 100%). 

Currently, 154 gas fields are producing out of which 147 are well defined blocks and the rest 
of 7 are blocks with experimental production.  

Production  from  these  fields  is  made  by  approximately  3240  wells  and  by  almost  the  same 
number of technological surface facilities consisting of flowlines, heaters (where the case may 
be) liquid separators and gas flow metering panels. 

From the total number of wells, 26% of the wells produce at depths below 2,000 m. Pressure 
and flow limits of production wells are operated by 127 compressor units, of which 93 units are 
grouped in 20 compressor stations, and 17 units are the so-called booster compressors, located 
near well clusters.      

One  technical  demand  required  by  applicable  laws  is  the  quality  of  gas  which  is  fulfilled  in 
proportion of 100% by means of 74 gas dehydration stations.  

The  other  component  of  the  company’s  infrastructure,  namely  the  information  –  technical 
system  consists  of  all  information  equipment  and  programs  (software)  used  to  monitor  the 
parameters related to gas research, production and storage activities.  

Depogaz holds Licence No. 1942/2014 for the operation of 6 underground natural gas storages 
facilities, developed in depleted gas fields, whose aggregate capacity represents about 90.3 % 
of the total storage capacity of Romania.  

The  capacity  of  the  underground  storage  facilities  operated  by  Depogaz,  by  storages,  is 
presented in the table below:

STTM  plans  to  ensure  qualitative  and  economically  efficient  services  due  to  the  future 
dynamics of Romgaz core business over the medium term (approximately 5 years).  

Considering the dynamics of the gas exploration – production activity developed by Romgaz, 
in order to achieve the object of activity for a medium term (approx. 5 years) the perspective to 
develop STTM must be realized by permanent determination of methods and measures resulting 
from the provision of quality services and in terms of economic efficiency.  

CTE Iernut has an installed capacity of 600 MW, including 4 power units: 2 Czechoslovakian 
power  units  with  an  installed  capacity  of  100  MW  each  and  2  Soviet  power  units  with  an 
installed capacity of 200 MW each. The units were commissioned between 1963 and 1967.  

The power plant is connected to the main road E60 by a 1.5km long road and to the national 
railway system at Cuci by a 2 km railway both owned by the CTE Iernut.  

Operating restrictions imposed by applicable environmental regulations 

The 100 MW Power Units 1 and 4   

During  2013,  by  commissioning  a  flue  gas  recirculation  system  for  boiler  1  and  4,  NOx 
emissions were reduced from 800 mg/Ncm flue gas to 300 mg/Ncm, complying therefore with 
environmental regulations.  

In compliance with the integrated environmental authorization for CTE Iernut, Power Units 1 
and 4, with an installed capacity of 100 MW each, may operate on a transition period until June 
30, 2020. The maximum NOx emissions must be reduced from 300 to 100  mg/Ncm flue gas 
within this period.  

If this last measure is not taken, the units will not be allowed to operate after June 30, 2020.  

The 100MW Power Units 2 and 3 

Change of environment protection legislation, namely Directive 2010/75/EU allow limited time 
of operation for Power Units 2 and 3 in case the emission reduction equipment of one or more 
groups break down and power supply is a priority requirement. Therefore, as of January 2016, 

Page 40 of 80 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

units 2 and 3 were applied a dry preservation regime. As of February 20, 2019, Power Units 2 
and 3 had been excluded from CTE Iernut.   

The 200MW Power Units 5 and 6 

Low  NOx  emission  burners  have  been  installed  in  years  2010  and  2011.  As  such,  an 
environmental  requirement  included  in  the  integrated  environmental  authorization  was 
fulfilled. The measure was fulfilled in time. 

Due to these measures, the power units automatically enter the new transition period established 
during January 1, 2016 - December 31, 2020.  

Investments play an important part in maintaining the production decline, which is achieved by 
discovering  of  new  reserves,  by  improving  the  current  recovery  rate,  and  by  rehabilitation, 
development and modernization of existing facilities.  

In  2018,  Romgaz  invested  RON  1,188.5  that  is  52%  (RON  406.8)  higher  than  2017 
investments, representing approx. 77% from the scheduled investments.  

 The company invested during 2014 – 2018 approximately RON 4.45 billion, as follows:

For 2018, Romgaz provided the achievement of an investment program with a total budget of 
RON  1,500.00  million,  based  for the  most  part on  objectives  related to the  compensation  of 
natural decline and electric power generation, thus:  

  continuing  geological  research  works  by  performing  surveys  and  drillings  for  the 

discovery of new gas reserves; 

  production  development  potential  by  adding  new  facilities  on  existing  structures 
(drilling  exploration  wells,  surface  technological  installations,  drying  stations, 
compressor stations, compression in gas fields), improving the performance of facilities 
and  equipment  to  increase  production  safety,  reducing  energy  consumption  and 
efficiency of optimal exploitation of gas fields; 

  modernization and upgrading of constructions, installations and equipment, as well as 
acquisition of new equipment and performing installations specific for core activity; 
  acquisition  of  specific  machinery  to  ensure  the  technological  transportation  and 
maintenance of core activity and maintaining optimal use of road infrastructure in gas 
fields.   

In  absolute  figures,  the  investment  cost  on  December  31,  2018  were  in  amount  of  RON

Development of CTE Iernut 

One of Romgaz main strategic directions, provided in “The Development Strategy for 2015-
2025”, is consolidation of the company’s position on the energy supply markets. In this case, 
in the field of electric power generation, Romgaz proposed “a more efficient activity by making 
investments to increase the efficiency of the Thermoelectric Plant (CTE) Iernut to a minimum 
of 55%, respecting the environmental requirements (NOx, CO2) and increasing the exploitation 
safety”.

2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

Thus,  a  very  important  objective  is  the  “The  Development  of  CTE  Iernut  Power  Plant  by 
building a new combined cycle CCTG power plant”,  with a deadline  for completion  in Q 1, 
2020. 

In 2018 the following works were performed:  

  Land clearing/development by buildings demolition; 
  Approach and marginal road development; 
  Storage platform development (site management);  

  Platform construction works for indirect foundations performance (piles);   
  Beginning  the  works  to  perform  the  direct  foundations  for  engine  room,  electric  and 

command building, equipment and machinery;   

  Supplying 3 gas turbines, 4 generators for gas turbines, 2 generators for steam turbines, 
steam  boilers for the three gas turbines, steam sealing systems for steam turbines, DCS 
cabinets, 6 transformers, nitrogen fire fighting systems, overhead travelling cranes, dual 
operation valve, as well as different equipment serving the electric power plant were 
supplied in situ;  

  metal furniture for the execution of engine room was delivered in situ;  
 

fillings for the floor completion at ground ±0.00 (block start) were performed and the 
piles of the metal structure for the engine room are asembled;  

 

 

inside the pump station building, the intake pipe was completed and the  steel concrete 
floor for ground ±0,00  was poured;  

inside the engine room the assembly of the metal structure was completed as well as the 
foundations for machinery and equipment.  

One  very  complex  issue  largely  impacting  on  the  implementation  of  the  investment  plan  is 
found  in the investment preparation  phase and consists of obtaining  land permits, approvals, 
agreements and authorizations required for the performance of works and for the procurement 
phase.  

The results was negatively influenced by causes specific for both phases, namely: 

-  Difficulty to perform the drilling activity regarding access to public roads; 

- 

- 

Impossibility  to obtain  lands  and  implicitly,  approvals  and  construction  permits  for  well 
surface facilities and gas collectors;     

It was necessary to resume the procurement procedure for different objectives, due to the 
lack of technical offers;   

-  Long time interval  to obtain the approvals and agreements issued by water, environment, 
property  register,  agricultural  related  bodies,  with  direct  effects  upon the  issuance  of  the 
construction authorization for the execution of surface facilities;  

-  Delays in the public procurement processes due to repeated dismissals by ANAP of certain 

award documentations (I.T. Prahova and Ialomița lots).

Important issues to be noted: 

 

In  Block  EX-30  Trident,  works  from  Stage I  (3  years)  mandatory  and  Stage  II (2  years) 
optional were completed, and currently the additional period of Exploration Stage II, for the 
period between May 3, 2018 – May 3, 2020 are performed.  This extension is necessary to 
perform 
and 
reinterpretation/integration of geological and geophysical data available until now. In Block 
EX-30 Trident two wells were drilled, Daria-1x and Lira-1X, where Lira-1X was considered  
discovery with natural gas (approximately 30 billion m3). 

reprocessing  works, 

additional 

complex 

analyses 

core 

After the Notification of Withdrawal of PanAtlatic, Romgaz EGMS approved to take over 
free of charge 2.2%  from the share owned by PanAtlantic. Thus, as of March 2018 Romgaz 
share in Block EX 30 Trident is 12.2%. Further to the Feasibility Study performed in 2018, 
the  locations  to  drill  in  2019  a  new  exploration  well  were  established  and  two  appraisal 
wells depending on the success of the first well, one well in 2020 and one well in 2021. In 
2018  preparatory  works  were  performed  for  the  drilling  phase:  Geohazard  assessments, 
geomechanical  modelling,  pore-pressure  analyses,  obtaining  approvals  and  permits 
necessary to drill the wells, contracting the main works for the drilling campaign in 2019; 
signing  the  Confidentiality  Agreement  with  SNTGN  Transgaz  Medias;  drafting  of  a 
Cooperating  Agreement    between  Transgaz  –  Lukoil  –  Romgaz  started  in  December  
(Partnership: Romgaz, Lukoil and PanAtlantic).  

 

In 2018, the partner JKX withdrew from the partnership, and after the withdrawal Romgaz 
took over  an  additional  share  of  8.33%.  Also,  in  2018  Romgaz  waived  Block  Snina  and 
Medzilaborce and reduced Block Svidnik are to a surface of 36.4 km2. In 2018, there were  
only seismic interpretation works, geological works to a lesser extent and otherwise there 
were only general and  administrative expenditures  for this project (Partnership:  Romgaz, 
Alpine Oil&Gas şi JKX Oil&Gas – Slovakia)  

  The  Association  Agreement  with  Schlumberger  expired  in  2018.  In  2013,  Schlumberger 
expressed  its  intention to extend the contractual period with another 10 (ten) years, until 
2028. Following this requirement, Romgaz performed an economic analysis resulting that 
in  terms  of  maintaining  the  investments  for  Laslaul  Mare  Field,  the  activity  being  more 
profitable if Romgaz continues its activity outside the association. Under these conditions, 
the Association Agreement was not extended. It expired on October 30, 2018.  

In 2018, Depogaz Subsidiary had an approved investment plan of RON 48,975 thousand and 
achieved investments of RON 38,155 thousand, representing 75%, thus:

The investments were financed entirely from own sources.  

For  the  reporting  period  the  fixed  assets  were  commissioned  in  amount  of  RON  26,692 
thousand.  

The main objectives included in the Investment Program for 2018 were:  

  modernization  of  Bilciureşti  Storage  Facility:  to  ensure  a  higher  safety  degree  when 
exploring and upgrading the existent infrastructure of Bilciuresti Storage facility, in 2016 a 
Feasibility  Study  was  completed  on  the  modernisation  of  Bilciuresti  Storage  facility 
infrastructure.  This  study  highlighted  the  possibility  to  increase  the  daily  production 
capacity  of  Bilciuresti  Storage  up  to  20  million  m3/day,  provided  to  perform  gradual 
investment  works.  In  2018  the  first  modernisation  stage  was  completed,  namely    the 
modernisation of the drying station of Group 57 Bilciuresti  (the works began in 2017 and 
was completed in 2018) and the second stage started during 2018;  

  well modernisations: the works are necessary due to poor well performances in the process 
of  injection/withdrawal  affecting  the  daily  injection  capacity  and,  especially,  the  daily 
withdrawal  capacity  of  the  underground  storages.  Also,  equipping  with  safety  valves 
improved the operational safety.

2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

For  the  regulated  market  governed  by  BSE,  the  maximum  trading  share  price  that  Romgaz 
recorded on March 27, 2018 (RON 38.20), after publishing the announcement on the dividend 
proposal for 2017.  

For the following period, the evolution of the share price oscillated, with significant decreases 
for the following four moments: (1) after publishing the Report for Q1 2018 (May 15, 2018), 
highlighting the decrease of income as a consequence of a warmer winter, (2) on the ex-date  
related to dividends for 2017 (July 5, 2018), (3) after the  first publication by the Ministry of 
Public Finances of a government draft on the capping of the  maximum gas sales price  from 
internal production (July 19, 2018) and (4) after the publication of the Emergency Ordinance 
No. 114.2018 on establishing fiscal, budgetary and public investment measures, amending and 
supplementing some pieces of legislation and extending some deadlines. (December 18, 2018).  

The year-end characterised by a pronounced decrease of the share price (-24.66% for the period 
December 18 – December 31, 2018) determined both by the approval of GEO No. 114/2018, 
as well as by the ex-date for additional dividends. Thus, on December 31, 2018, the share price 
reached  the  minimum  limit  of  the  year,  namely  RON  27.80,  by  22%  lower  than  the  prices 
recorded on the first trading day of 2018. 

The same oscillating evolution recorded the trading price of GDRs in 2018, with maximum and 
minimum values similar to the shares. The highest prices recorded during April 27 – April 10, 
2018, reaching the maximum  value on the last day: USD 10.10/GDR. The most pronounced 
decreasing  period  was  at  the  end  of  the  year,  when  for  4  days  (between  December  19  – 
December 24, 2018) the GDRs price decreased by 32.24%, the annual minimum being  of USD 
6/GDR, reached on December 24, 2018. Until the last day of 2018, the GDRs’ price recovered 
from the decline (+16.67%) on December 31, 2018 being USD 7, by 11.4% higher than the 
price recorded on the first trading day.   

Since the listing day up to present, Romgaz is considered an attractive company  for investors 
and holds a significant position in the top of local issuers, being included in BSE indices by the 
end of the year, as follows:

*)  In  2018  the  Group  voluntarily  modified  the  accounting  policy  regarding  recognition  of  costs  with  seismic, 
geological, geophysical works and other similar operations. According to the new policy such costs are recognised 
as expense when they are incurred. Previously, such costs were recognised as exploration intangible assets. At the 
same time the Group modified in 2018 the method for calculating the well decommissioning provision, replacing 
average cost of equity with the related interest rate of the 10 year liability government bonds as liability discount 
rate, in compliance with industry practices. Moreover, in 2018 the Group reanalysed the depreciation of the gas 
cushion  recorded  as  non-current  asset  and  concluded  that  it  should  not  have  been  depreciated;  the  correction 
affected the previous periods, therefore they have been restated in order to make them comparable to the current 
period. More information on these restatements are shown in the consolidated and individual financial statements 
annexed to this report. 

NON-CURRENT ASSETS 

Total  non-current  assets  increased  by  0.93%, representing  RON  58  million,  from  RON  6.22 
billion on December 31, 2017 to RON 6.28 billion on December 31, 2018. Although in 2018 
the  Group  invested  RON  1.15  billion  in  assets,  this  increase  was  partially  cancelled  by  the 
depreciation expense (RON 591.3 million in 2018, as compared to RON 573 million in 2017) 
and by impairment  (the net expense with the impairment was RON 116.9 million in 2018 as 
compared  to  the  net  income  of  RON  21  million  in  2017).  Out  of  the  RON  1.15  billion 
representing the investments made in 2018, RON 569 million represent the investment made in 
the new power plant in Iernut.  

At the end of 2018 the Group recorded an impairment loss of RON 141.9 million on the basis 
of an impairment test of the assets employed in the gas production and an impairment loss of 
RON 54 million on the existing power plant of Iernut. 

As related to the financial investments, in 2018 the Group recorded a decrease of the fair value 
of  Electrocentrale  București  by  RON  59.9  million.  Out  of  this  amount  RON  40.7  million 
affected the year end result, and the difference was recorded as retained earnings, following the 
transition to IFRS 9.  

The Associates have been accounted in the consolidated financial statements by equity method 
providing that initial investment is recognized as cost and it is later on adjusted depending on 
the post-acquisition modification of the Group share in the net assets of the associate in which 
the Group has invested. The Group profit or loss includes its share of the associate’s profit or 
loss.  

Deferred income tax 

Deferred income tax is based on the temporary differences between the accounting value and 
the fiscal value of balance sheet items. These temporary differences may be taxable, meaning 
they  will  result  in  taxable  values  when  determining  the  taxable  result  of  future  periods,  or 
deductible, meaning they will result in values that are deductible when determining the taxable 
result of future periods.  

Page 58 of 80 

 
 
 
 
2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

Considering the impairment adjustments recorded for the fields exploited by the Group and for 
the existing Iernut power plant, the temporary differences between the accounting value and 
the fiscal value of assets increased, generating the increase of deferred tax asset on December 
31 2018 as compared to December 31, 2017. 

CURRENT ASSETS 

Inventories 

As compared to 2017 inventories decreased at the end of 2018 by 36.85% because of a  49% 
gas stock decrease in the underground gas storages as compared to the previous year. 

Cash and cash equivalent. Other financial assets 

On December 31, 2018, cash and cash equivalent and other financial assets (bank deposits and 
purchased state bonds) were of RON 1,448.08 million, as compared to RON 3,014.43 million 
at the end of 2017, the decrease being generated by distributing additional dividends in 2018, 
besides the dividends for 2017. Thus total dividends distributed to shareholders in 2018 were 
in amount of RON 2.6 billion. 

Other assets 

Other assets decreased due to recovery in 2018 of RON 113 million out of the total receivable 
of  RON  244  million  recorded  on  December  31,  2017,  representing  excise  duty  related  to 
technological consumption for the period 2010-2016.  

CAPITAL AND RESERVES 

Group’s equity decreased by 14.56% (RON 1,306.8 million) as compared to the end of 2017, 
due to distributing to shareholders as dividends the result of 2017 and part of the result of the 
previous  years,  in  compliance  with  the  resolution  of  the  Group’s  general  meeting  of 
shareholders. Additional dividends were distributed from Parent Company reserves in 2018. 

NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES 

Long-term provisions decreased by 19.0% in 2018 as compared to 2017, mainly as a result of 
decreasing the provision for decommissioning wells that are going to be written off in the future. 

CURRENT LIABILITIES 

Total current liabilities decreased on December 31, 2018 as compared to the end of previous 
year by RON 345.8 million, mainly due to application of IFRS 15. Advance payments cashed 
from clients at the end of the period were presented in 2017 as trade payables, including the 
amounts related to the deliveries of December 2017 not invoiced by the end of 2017. In 2018 
such amounts are presented as net deliveries of December 2018 for which advance payments 
have been cashed from the clients. 

Deferred income increased on December 31, 2018 as compared to 2017 following the receipt 
of RON 20.99 million from the National Investment Plan for Iernut power plant. The subsidy 
will  be  recognised  as  income,  as  and  when  the  power  plant  financed  from  this  fund  is 
depreciated. Bearing in mind that the new investment will be commissioned in 2020, the full 
amount was recognised in the category of Non-current liabilities. 

The Group did not issue bonds or other debt instruments in financial year 2018.

annexed to this report. 
**)Year 2016 does not reflect the effects of above mentioned accounting policy modification and accounting errors 
corrections. 

Revenue 

In 2018, Romgaz recorded a consolidated revenue of RON 5.00 billion compared to RON 4.59 
billion achieved in 2017. 

The increase resides from a 17.7% rise of income from gas sales both from Romgaz production 
and  gas  purchased  to  be  resold  and  from  partnerships,  despite  the  decrease  of  income  from 
electricity  sales  (36%)  and  decrease of  income  from  underground  storage  services  (41.08%) 
which is due to the decrease by 26% of the gas storage tariff approved by ANRE as of April 1st, 
2018.  

Cost of Commodities Sold  

Page 60 of 80 

 
 
 
2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

In 2018, cost of commodities sold increased by 301.05%, due to an increase by 630.61% of the 
cost of commodity gas sold, due to a 549.7% increase in   the quantity of imported commodity 
gas sold. Nevertheless, the Group has not been significantly influenced by the sale of such gas.  

Investment income 

Investment income represent income from liquid assets deposited by the Group in banks and in 
government bonds. The increase by 138.38% as compared to 2017 is generated by the increase 
of the interest rates.  

Other Gains and Losses 

Other  gains  and  losses  should  be  analysed  together  with  Net  loss  from  impairment  of  trade 
receivables.  Following  the  adoption  of  IFRS  15,  such  losses  are  presented  separately  in  the 
preliminary result of the consolidated comprehensive income. The Group chose to apply IFRS 
15 without restating the previous periods. 

As compared to 2017 net losses decreased by 0.7%. 

Changes in Inventory  

Reduction of negative effect of changes in inventory in 2018 as compared to 2017 is due to the 
increase  by  38%  of  the  gas  volume  withdrawn  from  storages  as  compared  to  injected  gas 
volumes, as compared to 2017 when the gas volumes withdrawn from storages was higher by 
185% than the injected volumes.  

Net Depreciation and Amortization  

Net Depreciation and Amortization of non-current assets, tangible and intangible, increased in 
2018 by 28.18% compared to 2017 mainly due to impairment of RON 141.9 million for the gas 
fields exploited by Romgaz, following the impairment test performed in December 2018. The 
Group  has  also  recorded  an  impairment  of  RON  54  million  of  the  assets  representing  the 
existing Iernut power plant, because of forecasting termination of its activity in 2020, the year 
of commissioning the new powerplant, which is currently under construction.   

Employee benefit expense 

The  increase  of  employee  benefit  expenses  by  10.38%  compared  to  2017  is  due  both to the 
indexation  of  salaries  to  cover  the  inflation  and  granting  incentive  bonuses  for  remarkable 
results, according to the human resource policy.  

Exploration expense 

Out of the exploration expenses of RON 247.1 million incurred in 2018, the 3D seismic activity 
in  amount  of  RON  97  million  increased  by  104%  compared  to  previous  year.  It  proves  the 
Group commitment to discovery of new reserves.  
The exploration projects abandoning costs are higher by 11% compared to previous year, but 
their effect is cancelled by inherent releases of related impairments.  

Other expenses  

In 2018, other expenses recorded an increase by 27.91% as compared to 2017. The increase of 
RON 307.5 million is mainly due to the increase of tax expenditures (royalty and windfall tax, 
as mentioned din the preamble).  

Other income  
 The decrease of other income is mainly due to the income of RON 244 million in 2017 from 
excises related to technological  consumption of the period 2010-2016. Upon the date of this

*)  In  2018  the  Group  voluntarily  modified  the  accounting  policy  regarding  recognition  of  costs  with  seismic, 
geological, geophysical works and other similar operations. According to the new policy such costs are recognised 

Page 62 of 80 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

as expense when they are incurred. Previously, such costs were recognised as exploration intangible assets. At the 
same time the Group modified in 2018 the method for calculating the well decommissioning provision, replacing 
average cost of equity with the related interest rate of the 10 year liability government bonds as liability discount 
rate, in compliance with industry practices. Moreover, in 2018 the Group reanalysed the depreciation of the gas 
cushion  recorded  as  non-current  asset  and  concluded  that  it  should  not  have  been  depreciated;  the  correction 
affected the previous periods, therefore they have been restated in order to make them comparable to the current 
period. More information on these restatements are shown in the consolidated and individual financial statements 
annexed to this report. 
**)Year 2016 does not reflect the effects of above mentioned accounting policy modification and accounting errors 
corrections.

  fulfils any accessory duties, namely any acts and special operations necessary and useful 

for achieving the above mentioned duties. 

The  Director  General  has  to  inform  periodically  the  Board  of  Directors  on  the  manner  of

Internal audit activity is organised and conducted in compliance with: 

  Law 672/2002 on the internal public audit; 
  Own methodological norms, issued under GD No. 1086/2013 on approving the General 

Norms on exercising the internal public audit; 

  Order of the Ministry of Public Finances No. 252/2004, Code of ethics of the internal 

auditor, as subsequently amended and supplemented; 

  SNGN Romgaz SA Internal Audit Charter. 

Romgaz sets and keeps the internal audit activity operational, being performed independently 
from  other  functions  and  activities.  According  to  the  applicable  law,  the  Internal  Audit 
Department  is  directly  subordinated  to  the  Director  General,  but  reports  to  the  Board  of 
Directors through the Audit Committee.  

Internal  auditing  mission,  attributions  and  responsibilities  are  defined  in  the  Internal  Audit 
Charter approved by the Director General. The charter sets the position of the  internal  audit 
within the company, sets the manner for accessing company’s documents in order to duly fulfill 
audit missions and defines their scope of activity. 

Internal  auditing  is  conducted  permanently  in  order to  provide  an  independent  evaluation  of 
operations,  control  and  its  management  processes,  evaluates  the  potential  risk  exposure  of 
various  business  segments  (asset  security,  compliance  with  laws  and  contracts,  integrity  of 
operational and financial information etc.) makes recommendation for improving the systems, 
controls and procedures to ensure efficiency of operations and observes the proposed corrective 
actions and the results. 

Internal auditing is conducted as follows: 

  Evaluate the management and internal control systems – system audit; 
  Evaluate  results  of  the  monitored  objectives  and  examine  the  actual  impact  – 

performance audit; 

  Ensure  conformity  of  procedures  and  operations  with  legal  requirements  –  regularity 

audit. 

The internal audit activity is an independent and objective activity, which gives the company 
an insurance regarding the control level on operations, and it is carried out in compliance with 
the prepared and approved procedures.  

The internal audit activity was performed in 2018 according to the audit plan prepared based 
on the risk analysis related to auditable activities of the company within their scope of activity. 
In  this  context, the  Internal  Public  Audit  Service  carried  out  a  planned  insurance  mission,  a 
planned informal counselling mission and 4 ad-hoc insuring missions. The following areas were 
included in these missions:  

  budget; 
  public acquisitions; 
  company’s specific functions; 
  financial - accounting; 

Page 71 of 80 

 
 
 
2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

  information technology. 

The objectives of the internal audit are to support the company in identifying and evaluating 
significant  risks  in  order  to  provide  an  independent  evaluation  on  risk  management,  on  the 
control and management processes and to support the company in maintaining an efficient and 
effective control system.  

Optimizing the company’s  internal audit organizational chart structure was analysed in 2018 
in  order  to  improve  the  organization  and  to  represent  a  useful  instrument  in  company 
management. In this respect, the audit structure was supplemented with 3 new job positions.   

The National Anti-Corruption Strategy 2016 – 2018 defines the necessity to perform an  internal 
audit once in 2 years of  the corruption prevention system at all public authorities level, starting 
with 2018.   

Starting with  April 1, 2018  Filiala de Înmagazinare Gaze Naturale DEPOGAZ Ploieşti SRL 
operates under the authority of SNGN ROMGAZ SA having an internal audit office.   

In order to ensure internal audit efficiency and having in view the changes occurred at Romgaz 
during  2018,  the  specific  internal  regulations  were  updated  and  adjusted  (implementing 
regulations  that  are  specific  for  Romgaz,  operational  procedures  and  quality  enhancement 
program for the internal audit activity).   

Company’s Policies and Objectives related to Risk Management 

In  accordance  with  the  Corporate  Governance  Code,  one  important  role  played  by  the 
company’s management is to ensure that an efficient risk management system is in place. 

One major concern of the management is to raise the awareness on the objectives of the risk 
management  process, the  necessity  of  direct  implication  in  the  risk  management  process,  as 
well as the alignment to the latest practices in the sector by complying with the applicable law, 
standards and norms related to such process. 

The company’s risk management system is implemented in accordance with: 

  Government  Ordinance  no.119/1999  (Article  4)  on  the  internal  control  and  the 

preventive financial control; 

  Law  no.  234  of    December  7,  2010  amending  and  supplementing  Government 

Ordinance No. 119/1999,  

  General Secretariat of Government Ordonnance No. 400 of June 12, 2015 for approval 

of Public Entities Internal Management Control Code.  

  International  Standard  ISO  31010:2009:  “Risk  management  –  risk  assessment 

techniques”; 

  International Standard ISO 31000:2009: “Risk management/Principles and guidelines”; 

  Romanian Standard SR Guidelines 73:2009: “Risk management-Vocabulary”. 

  General Secretariat of Government No. 600 of  April 20, 2018 for approval of Public 

Entities Internal Management Control Code.  

Consequently, in compliance with the risk management process, the company systematically 
analyses,  at  least  once  a  year,  the  risks  related  to  its  objectives  and  activities  and  prepares 
adequate  remedy  plans  in  order  to  mitigate  the  possible  consequences  of  such  risks,  and 
appoints employees responsible for implementing those plans.  

Page 72 of 80 

 
 
 
 
2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

Moreover, the risk management system implemented within the company is an integral part of 
the decision making process by setting the requirement to use a risk management analysis when 
drafting any document (technical projects, execution projects, reservoir studies).  

The  main  benefits  of  the  risk  management  process  is  the  improvement  of  the  company’s 
performance by identifying, analysing, assessing and managing all risks within the company, 
in  order  to  minimize  the  negative  risk  consequences  or  to  increase  the  positive  risk 
consequences, as the case may be.  

A  risk  management  department  has  been  established  for  an  efficient  assessment  of  the 
company’s risks. One major task of this department is drafting the company’s final documents 
in  terms  of  risk  management:  Final  Risk  Register,  Final  Risk  Report,  Final  Measure 
Implementation Plan and the Company’s Risk Profile. 

Three role levels are set up in the risk management system: 

  base level, represented by those who identify risks and by the risk managers (head of 
each organizational unit) who are responsible for preparing risk management documents 
related to the level of the unit they manage; 

  middle level, represented by the company’s middle management, who together with the 
heads of the organizational units form the Risk Management Commission that facilitates 
and 
respective  
direction/department/division; 

the  management 

process  within 

coordinates 

the 

  high  level,  represented  by  the  executive  upper  management  through  the  Monitoring 
Commission that approves the company’s risk appetite and risk profile in accordance 
with its objectives. 

General scope of the risk management activity: 

1.  setting  the  general  uniform  framework  for  risks 

identification,  analysis  and 

management; 

2.  providing the appropriate tool for a controlled and efficient risk management; 

3.  describing the manner in which control measures are set and implemented in order to 

prevent the occurrence of negative risks. 

Some of the analysed risk categories are: financial risks, market risks, occupational health and 
safety risks, personnel risks, risks related to information systems, and legal and regulatory risks. 

All risks are analysed from following perspectives: 
the specific objective that the risk refers to; 

 
  causes of risk occurrence; 
  consequences  further to risk materialization; 
  occurrence probabilities; 
 
 
 
 
 

risk materialization impact; 
risk exposure; 
risk response strategy; 
recommended control (remedy) measures; 
residual risks remaining after treatment of initial risks. 

Risk exposure 

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk (which includes foreign 
currency risk, inflation risk, interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk. The Company’s risk 
management  program  is  focused  on  the  financial  market’s  unpredictability  and  seeks  to 
minimize,  within  some  limits,  the  potential  bad  consequences  on  the  Company’s  financial 

Page 73 of 80 

 
 
 
2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

performance. However, this approach does not prevent the losses that occur outside these limits 
in case of some significant variations on the market. The Company does not use derivatives in 
order to cover the exposure to some risks.  

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risks as a consequence of the exposure to different 
foreign currencies. 

The financial assets that expose the Company to a potential credit risk comprise mainly trade 
receivables. The Company’s policies provide that the sales are made to clients with a low credit 
risk.  Also,  the  sales  must  be  guaranteed  either  by  advanced  payments  or  by  letter  of  bank 
guarantee. The net value of the receivables, after the impairment of doubtful debts, represents 
the maximum value exposed to credit risk. The Company has a risk concentration related to its 
4  biggest  clients,  which  together  represent  89.55%  from  the  net  receivables  balance  on 
December 31, 2018 (the biggest 4 clients: 91.25% on December 31, 2017). Even though the 
collection of receivables might be affected by economic factors, the Company’s management 
believes  that there  is  no  significant  risk  of  loss  for the  company,  besides  the  impairment  of 
doubtful debts, already established. 

The  Company  management  is  responsible  for  the  liquidity  risk  management.  The  company 
management established a suitable framework for liquidity risk management for the Company’s 
short, medium and long-term financing and for complying with the provisions for liquidity risk 
management.  The  Company  manages  liquidity  risk  by  maintaining  an  adequate  level  of  the 
reserves by continuous monitoring of the forecasts and present cash flow and by connecting the 
profile of financial assets maturity with those of the financial debts.  

Commercial  risks  to  which  the  Company  is  exposed  are  continuously  evaluated  by  the  risk 
management system. A new vision is about to be implemented in this respect so that the market 
risks impact, quantitative as well as price risks, to which the Company is naturally exposed in 
its trading activity, will be systematically and continuously evaluated and quantified, evaluated 
and minimized/remedied, as the case may be.  

The main risks identified are the quantitative ones (volatility of the demand/offer ratio on the 
market) with consequences in underselling and overselling, as well as price risks, inherent on a 
volatile  market, emerging under the aspect of liquidity  but also influenced by  a  multitude of 
internal factors (regulating/political) and also external factors (related to the sources of import).  

At present, one of the main risk factors with direct consequences on the company’s commercial 
outcome  is the political and regulations risk. The Company uses all  available  instruments in 
order to minimize/remedy this risk by means of dialogue with the competent authorities, in the 
phase of drafting the regulating documents as well as afterwards in the phase of enforcement. 
During 2018, the regulation framework suffered major changes related to adopting an European 
market model regarding the Network Code, as well  as changes of the primary  legislation by 
amending  in  two  steps  Law  No.  123/2012.  The  last  amendment,  operated  by  Government 
Ordinance No. 114/2018 establishes a maximum natural gas sale price after April 1 2019, but 
also tax measures that fall in the responsibility of the energy operators. These consequences are 
evaluated/remedied by the company in order to minimize the effects. 

Internal control 

In  Romgaz,  the  internal  control  system  operates  in  a  control  environment  continuously 
changing that requires the adjustment of control at the level of every activity, differentially and 
integrative, established in relation to the company’s interests.  

Internal control is a process carried out by personnel at all levels, Board of Directors, executive 
management, entire personnel.  

Romgaz internal management control system is developed and implemented in order to reach 
the following objectives:  

Page 74 of 80 

 
 
2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

-  compliance with legal regulation, with internal rules, with contracts and administrative 

and jurisdictional decisions applicable to the company’s activity;

-  development  and  maintenance  of  collection,  storage,  processing,  updating  and 
distribution  of  financial  and  management  data  and  information,  as  well  as  of  proper 
systems/procedures to inform the public. 

Drafting, implementation, development and assessment of internal/management control system 
for Romgaz are achieved in compliance with the provisions set in Government Ordinance No. 
119/1999 and with the standards provided by SGG Order No. 600/2018.

 Draft and update Romgaz Risk Register. 

According  to  the  self-assessment  results  for  the  implementation  of  Internal/Management 
Control System, in 2018 (in relation to the 16 internal/management control standards provided 
in Order no. 600/2018), the Internal/Management Control System is compliant. 

Romgaz’s Code of Conduct was prepared first in 2013.  

The periodical reports on the indicators relevant for compliance with the rules of conduct have 
been  prepared  by  the  person  responsible  with  monitoring  the  compliance  with  the  Code  of 
Conduct and have been posted on the intranet webpage of the Company.  

Subsequently,  considering  the  need  to  comply  with  the  legal  requirements  on  corporate 
governance,  internal  control  and  National  Anticorruption  Strategy,  the  company’s  executive 
management updated the Code of Conduct. The updated document – SNGN Romgaz SA Ethics 
and Integrity Code – was approved by BoD Decision No.47 of October 1, 2018.  

Page 75 of 80 

 
 
 
2018 Consolidated Board of Directors’ Report  

The  most  important  amendments/supplements  of  this  Ethics  and  Integrity  Code  are  the 
following:  conflict  of  interests,  trade  of  company’s  shares,  compliance  with  laws  on 
competition,  integrity  insurance  and  preventing  corruption  deeds,  prevention  and  reporting 
frauds, money laundry etc. 

Romgaz  activities  in  the  field  of  social  responsibility  are  performed  voluntarily,  beyond  the 
legal responsibilities, the company being aware of its role in society.  

Social responsibility means for Romgaz a business culture including business ethics, customer 
rights,  economic  and  social  equity,  environmental  friendly  technologies,  fair  treatment  of 
workforce, transparent relationship with the public authorities, moral integrity and investment 
in the community. 

Moreover, Romgaz supports a sustainable development of the society and community, through 
financial support/ total or partial sponsorship for some actions and initiatives in the following 
main domains: education, social, sport, health and environment. 

Granting  financial  support/partial  or  total  sponsorship  for  actions  and  initiatives,  within  the 
budgeted limits, Romgaz has shown a pro-active attitude of social responsibility and increased 
the  awareness  of  the  parties  involved  as  regards  to  the  importance  and  benefits  of  social 
responsibility actions. 

In 2018, Romgaz supported, totally or partially, actions and initiatives stipulated in Government 
Emergency Ordinance (“GEO”) no.2/2015, complying with the budget, as follows:

community, an important benefit for the company by inspiring the organisational culture and 
the goodwill being a responsible employer, and also an involved social partner, promotor of a

claim unsettled. Rejects the appeal filed by the plaintiff against the

negative  competence  conflict,  orders  the  suspension  of  appeal  and 
sends the case file to Tg. Mures Administrative Court for settlement of 
competency.

due  payment  instalments  of  the  payment  obligation.  It  compels  the 
defendant to  pay  to the  plaintiff the legal  interest  relating to the main

Recourse is the scope of the case file no. 3059/1/2018 
284,208,986.85  The  receivable  to  be  included  in  the  body  of  creditors  is  of  RON 
284,208,986.85  and  is  included  in  the  table  of  receivables.  The 
insolvency  procedure  is  in  observation  phase.  At  the  end  of  the  fist 
Creditors’  Assembly  held  on May  16,  2016, the  Creditors’  Committee 
was  appointed  and  is  formed  by  Pireus  Bank,  Romgaz,  Banca 
Transilvania, Intercereal and EON Energie. 
CITR Ilfov subsidiary was confirmed as Official Receiver. 
Following the settlement of challenges to the preliminary table, the final 
table  is  to  be  drafted  and  to  make  a  decision  regarding  the  debtor’s 
reorganization or performance of bankruptcy procedures. 
2,980,868  The  Court  of  Appeal  dismissed  the  summons  on  inadmissibility 
grounds because of the unlawful statute of limitations to establish fiscal 
obligations  and  because  of  lack  of  grounds  for  the  remaining  part. 
(Ruling 1836/May 19, 2017). Against this decision, a recourse was filed 
on May 25, 2017. The memorandum containing grounds for recourse 
was  sent  on  November  13,  2017.  Statements  of  defence  were 
received. Romgaz provided answers.

The defendant filed an action for tort liability to compel the defendant to 
pay damages representing the equivalent value of repairs required to 
remove degradation caused to the plaintiff’s house by the heavy load 
traffic performed by the defendant in Axente Sever.  
A statement of defence was filed.   
Challenger filed and action against the sanctioning decision. The case 
file is pending before Sibiu County Court of Law. 

After concluding in 2014 a concession contract in  relation to Lipia 1 
well,  the  Local  Council  of  Gruiu  Commune terminated in the  same 
year the contract motivated by the fact that the land does not belong 
to  UAT,  meaning  that  Gruiu  Commune  cannot  be  concession 
provider. Due to the circuit of documents in the branch the relating 
royalty  was  paid  until  2017  without  being  due.  The  court  of  first 
instance settled the case file, allowing the claim according to Ruling 
no.  7396/20.12.2018.  Compels  the  defendant  to  the  payment  of 
RON  100,170.47  as  refund  of  undue  payment.  Right  to  file  an 
appeal within 30 days from the communication of the ruling. 

Action filed for the eviction of the defendant from the apartment located 
in  Iernut  (Address  M.  Eminescu  Str.,  Bl.  25,  App.  23,  Mureș  County) 
and  to  compel  him  to  the  payment  of  the  equivalent  value  of  the 
unachieved  gain  due  to  lack  of  usage,  in  amount  of  RON  48  as rent 
applied  during  the  period  of  time  prior  to  the  contract  termination, 
starting  with  February  01,  2018  until  the  actual  eviction  from  the 
apartment  and  of  court  fees.  The  court  allows  the  action.  Ruling  no. 
803/01.11.2018. Right to file an appeal.  
The  court  is  requested  to  compel  the  defendants  to  authorise  the 
deletion  of  mortgage  registered  in  favour  of  Electrocentrale  Mures 
Subsidiary  in  Real  Estate  Register  no.  122172-C1-U9  Tagru-Mures. 
The court allows the challenge of lack of passive capacity to stand trial 
in relation to Romgaz raised by the latter. As such, the court dismisses 
the civil action filed against the defendant. Partly allows the civil action 
filed  by  the  plaintiffs  AMC,  LL,  FD,  SZ,  SEA  and  SR  against  the 
receiver  SQFB  and
