The Bobocu gas field is a natural gas field in Bobocu village, Cochirleanca Commune, Buzău County. It was discovered in 1966 and first developed by Romgaz, the Romanian national gas company, but was abandoned in 1995 due to a sand influx in well boreholes. The field was acquired by Zeta Petroleum in 1998. It will begin production in 2011 and will produce natural gas and condensates. The total proven reserves of the Bobocu gas field are around 147 billion cubic feet (4.2 km³), and production is slated to be around 25 million cubic feet/day (0.71×105m³) in 2011.[1][2][3]
In 2012, Zeta Petroleum spudded the first well at the Bobocu gas field, with a targeted depth of 2,700 m (8,900 ft). The well lies in a crestal location at the center of the concession and is targeting two delta lobes in the Pontian interval that were earlier identified through amplitude variations in the 3D seismic survey.[4] In 2016, the company decided to give up on its holdings at Bobocu.[5]
In 2020, the license to exploit the gas perimeter from Bobocu was bought by the Dutch company Lalea Energy. It subsequently re-entered the portfolio of the Canadian firm Claren Energy, and then was sold to Blueray Energies Romania.[6][7]
