Henry Aldorf, CEO of Terra Nova stated: "We are looking forward to working with our partner Zeta Petroleum to develop the Bobocu license in Romania, a member country of the European Union and the OECD. Romania, contains South Eastern Europe's most significant oil and gas reserves and possesses surplus refining capacity. The extensive existing infrastructure, the attractive prospective geology and its strategic location within the European energy markets all creates a robust environment for the Romanian petroleum industry. Romania is currently the largest natural gas producer in Eastern Europe."
The Bobocu gas field is located in the foreland basin of the Carpathians 150 km NE of Bucharest, Romania. The field was discovered by Romgaz in 1966, and produced from 1977 to June 1995, and again from December 2000 until November 2001.
