PGNiG to Seek Shale Oil in Poland

Poland's gas monopoly PGNiG will apply for five licenses to explore potential unconventional shale oil resources in Poland, deputy head Marek Karabula said today.

The licenses will add to shale gas licenses PGNiG already owns, Karabula said.

"We are preparing five motions to the Environment Ministry to expand our licenses to include exploration for shale oil," Reuters quoted Karabula as telling reporters.
