SUMMARY

Poland may have discovered its largest oil and gas field, with reserves potentially meeting a quarter of its annual consumption.

Central European Petroleum announced the find near the German border, reporting 22 million tons of crude oil and 5 billion cubic meters of natural gas from a well in the Baltic Sea. Total reserves in the area could exceed 33 million tons of oil and 27 billion cubic meters of gas.

"This could be a breakthrough in the Polish energy sector," noted the chief geologist. This discovery could enhance Poland's energy security, reducing reliance on external suppliers.
