He participated in the inauguration of a gas dehydration station at the Bilciuresti storage facility, Dambovita County, together with Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca and the management of Romgaz and Depogaz.
"Azomures was operating at half capacity. Their gas contract was very good and expires on December 31. The company has decided to stop production for a month or two and is going to carry out this winter the revision that was initially planned for next summer," the minister said.
