Romania will reach 90 percent gas storage filling by the end of the summer season, and this will help for winter preparations, Franck Neel, OMV Petrom Executive Board member, responsible for Gas & Power, told a press conference on Wednesday.We know that the winters are no longer so cold. The trend is for winters to be milder, but there will certainly be days with peak consumption, when consumption will be very high, but not over the entire winter season. Anyway, we do not anticipate any kind of risk regarding the demand or supply side, neither in Romania nor in the region, said Franck Neel when asked by journalists about the way Romania is preparing for the winter season.According to the OMV Petrom official, the company is required to reach 5 TWh storage stock by the end of the summer, and is currently at 3.2 TWh.We injected a high capacity in July, so we are on schedule, I don't think there will be any problems. Demand in the first quarter was quite low due to the mild winter, but we saw an increase in demand during the summer, which is still good news. It means that industrial production is recovering. Our forecast is stable until the end of the year and we anticipate a fairly good recovery on the Business-to-Business side, which has been a bit behind last year, said Franck Neel.
