According to some MOL reports, the potential is equivalentwith around 40 million barrels, over 5.4 million tonnes of oil,namely more than is extracted from Romania in one year.

"The start of production depends on the size of uncoveredresources and on some administrative aspects, but we'll do all thatwe can to start as soon as possible. In case of successfulexploration, we hope to start production within five years. On thebasis of preliminary data assessment, the perimeters have a goodhydrocarbon potential. Further details will be available at a laterdate," say the representatives of the Hungarian group.

The three blocks are located inVoivozi (Bihor), Adea (Arad) and Curtici (Arad), close to theborder with Hungary, where MOL has already registered good resultswith hydrocarbon exploration.
