In the so-called Paleogene Basin, O&GD has been carrying out exploration activity on three concession areas since 2016. In 2023 MOL Plc, Central Europe’s leading energy company, acquired 49% stake in the three concession companies. The partnership – operated by O&GD – is based on professional cooperation and knowledge sharing: the parties developed joint exploration program, have jointly identified targets ready for drilling and have shared costs and risks.
The first well of the exploration programl, Tura-D-3, was drilled in August 2023 and encountered oil at a depth of 2,100 meters. The oil extracted at Tura is processed by the MOL’s Dunai Refinery in Százhalombatta.
