The Ana and Doina reservoirs are located in the Black Sea, 110 km to the east of Constanta, Romania, with water depths between 70 to(and) 85 m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Midia Gas Development Project produces and processes gas from the Ana Platform (NUW Platform with 4 \u00d7 wells) and Doina (single, vertical subsea well tied back via an 18-kilometre pipeline to the Ana Platform) and routes it to export to consumers within Romania and the EU. The first gas production from Ana and Doina started in mid-2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ana Platform is connected to shore via a 16-inch x 121 km carbon steel pipeline with a concrete coating, which crosses the beach to the onshore gas treatment plant. Gas produced from the Midia Gas Development is exported to the onshore gas transmission network.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"
