Frasin-Gura Humorului gas field

The Frasin–Gura Humorului gas field is a natural gas field located in Gura Humorului, Suceava County, Romania. Discovered in 1971, it was developed by Romgaz, beginning production of natural gas and condensates in 1972. By 2010 the total proven reserves of the Frasin–Gura Humorului gas field were around 36 billion ft3 (1 km3), with a production rate of around 4.9 million ft3/day (0.14×105 m3). By January 2017, the Frasin–Gura Humorului gas field had a cumulative production of 1680e6 m3 of natural gas and 177e6 m3 of condensates, with its proven reserves down to 2182e6 m3 of natural gas and 520e6 m3 of condensates, estimated to last until 2029.

History
In December 2010 the gas field was connected by pipeline to the municipality of Câmpulung Moldovenesc at a cost of €6 million.

In 2015, a new gas deposit was discovered at a depth of 4100 m within the perimeter of the Frasin-Gura Humorului gas field. Located in Frasin, the new well contributed alongside a new well at Cargele to a 155% rise in gas condensate production by Romgaz in the first half of 2015.

In 2018, it was revealed that an older well from Frasin—dug in the 1970s and later taken out of use—contaminated the waters of the Moldova River as a result of erosion of the river's left bank. In 2023, it was announced that a new gas well would start production at Frasin within a year.
