The total proven reserves of the Filitelnic gas field are around 2.145 trillion cubic feet (60.7 km3), and production is around 143 million cubic feet per day (4,000,000 m3/d). A project announced in January 2024 by Romgaz and the Mureș County Environmental Protection Agency will seek to reduce pollution and concomitantly increase production at the Filitelnic drilling group 131.[1]
In the early 2000s, the Filitelnic gas field was the second largest natural gas field in Romania.[2][3] According to data provided in 2016 by the Romanian Agency for Mineral Resources (ANRM), the Filitelnic gas field was the largest natural gas field in the country.[4] Based on data from ANRM, the Filitelnic gas field had a production of 624.646×106 m3 (2.2×1010 cu ft) in 2022, making it the second largest (onshore) natural gas field in Romania, after the Bustuchin gas field.[5]
