UPI: Polish oil and natural gas production rising

Oil and natural gas production in Poland increased during the second quarter of the year, state energy company PGNiG said in a Tuesday report.

In an amended quarterly report, the state energy company said it produced roughly 2.2 million barrels of oil during the full second quarter of the year, a 33 percent increase year-on-year.

For natural gas, the company said its second quarter production volume was nearly 40 billion cubic feet, a 3.7 percent increase over the same period last year.

The European Investment Bank last month loaned Poland $132 million for the expansion of a pipeline that could bring gas, including domestically sourced liquefied natural gas, to the border of the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Ukraine.
