PGNiG Reports Shale Gas Progress

Poland's gas monopoly PGNiG has seen some gas flows from one of its shale gas licences in northern Poland, PGNiG deputy head Miroslaw Szkaluba told Reuters on Wednesday.

"Last week, we finished the fracturing process and on Saturday we recorded gas flows. We know it is there and is very pure," said Szkaluba.

PGNiG will carry out two more test drills at the site and will be in a better position to evaluate profitability of the field in 2012, he added.
