The offshore boring towers can be seen from the German holiday island of Usedom: there is searching for poles. Now which one was found.
In front of the Polish Baltic Sea coast, the Canadian company Central European Petroleum (CEP) made a large oil find. According to the result of trial drilling, the eligible occurrence of oil and natural gas is estimated at 200 million barrels oil -quivalent, the company said in Warsaw.
According to CEP, the offshore-oil field Wolin East is about six kilometers from the Polish port city of Swinoujscie (Swinemünde) and thus also within sight of the German holiday island of Usedom.
If the occurrence is confirmed, the greatest find in Poland has been at least since the Second World War, said Polish chief geologist Krzysztof Galos from the Pap news agency. Funding could begin in three to four years. Then the field will cover four to five percent of the annual Polish oil requirement for several years, Galos said. CEP has had a license for exploration off the western Polish coast since 2017.
